One of the best films i have seen

... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreI expected more from a film that had Savini as a main character. The idea of the movie was good, just the execution was poorly done.The one good thing I found in the movie was the FX makeup. It was surprisingly good. I looked into it assuming that Savini had something to do with it and was shocked to see it was led up by an artist Named Marcus Koch. Look into his work... it's rather good.The acting was pretty average from a low budget film (Yet with the amount spent on this film it shouldve been ten times better. But thats part of the experience of an upstart production company... the growing pains.) There were a few characters that should not have been casted in their roles. John Frans, Joe Davison, and John Bernath. I just didn't get the feel of any of them being comfortable on a set. The nubs actors I thought did a good job. X-Zanthia and Anthony Jackson were not amazing but gave the feel of them belonging to their characters roles. Id like to see more of them since they had that look to be steady actors in Hollywood.Overall the script was the best part and had potential if it were sold to a production company or studio that had the experience to turn this into a cult classic. I gave it 2 stars but it had the potential to be a 6 star if done right. If not for the makeup I wouldve shut it off early. It was my kinda cheesy. :)
... View MoreThis is the type of movie that makes you think.Remember how you felt at the end (last 10 minutes) of the movie 6th Sense? Unearthed is a movie that will have you thinking the same way. Full of twists and turns, this movie gets better each time you see it.Excellent performances by John Bernath (Voss) and Slake Counts (Pinder) make this a great movie for either Horror or Sci-Fi fans. It does not fit neatly into a genre category and as such defies traditional movie plots that seem all too predictable.Well done and well worth the watch. Low budget doesn't have to mean bad movie any more. This is a film you will enjoy seeing more than once. Excellent Cinematography and a driving music score. Blood, guns, fast cars, alien warlords, dark cityscapes and women hanging on hooks.....what more could you ask for.REVIEW BASED ON SCREENER COPY OF UNEARTHED 2005
... View MoreI've only had a chance to see the hour teaser that was shown at a convention that I was attending, and i was impressed at the quality of work that an independent film company could produce. The name Tom Savini sat me down, but I think it was the guy who played Jeff Juransky that kept me in my seat, I'll certainly keep a look out for him in future films. I won't spoil the plot, but it's apparent that a lot of time and effort went into this film, and since they don't have the money to drop on the "special effects that can make you forget that there's no plot" concept, there is a lot of time devoted to developing and furthering the storyline. Hat's off to the cast and crew of this incredibly talented group, I look forward to seeing more from these talented individuals!
... View MoreHaving seen an advanced screening of this, I think fans of sci-fi action will dig it. There is plenty to enjoy here, cars, guns, graphic violence and some good make-up work. Made in the same city as the crap-a-minute Punisher, Tampa Florida, you'd never know they were the same city based on the gritty night time scenes in Unearthed. Obviously they didn't know how to shoot the city in the Punisher, because it looks like a much meaner place in this one. Probably has to do with the folks who made this one live there so they know the city better. If you liked Albert Pyun's "Nemesis" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107668/) I think you will also enjoy this flick a whole lot. Give it a chance.
