if one sit down to watch unhinged and it be probably because it advertisement and video box and whatever and scream that it be ban in the uk for over 20 year ( a virtually every video nasty do ) . it true while exploitation and taboo excites people and draw them in with their promise of controversy . be an exploitation fan and however and none of this be new to me . the advertisement that scream that the film be ban in the uk do not necessarily make me want to watch it while in fact and the first thing that usually pop into my head be how disgustingly paranoid british censor be . how i come to view this then be simple represent it promise gore and it be only $ 6 . 99. the price alone alert me not to have any hope of this be the next halloween and but a cheap padding of your dvd collection never hurt . i do force myself and however and to watch it all in one sitting and because i find that decide to save the rest for another day make you even less inspired to finish it . so anyway and after 90 minute of unhinged and i find that i have come across the cheap sleeping aid in existence . i think the distributor could make a fortune if they simply change their marketing technique . the layout of unhinged be of any common slasher from the 80 . there unnecessary shower scene and exploitative gore . that about it . anyway and it start with a group of three attractive co ed crash their car on the way to a concert . though two of them ( terry and nancy ) be okay and one ( gloria ) be severely injured and be out of commission for the rest of the movie . they be rescue and receive shelter at a mansion ( that happen to have no phone and of course ) with rather strange occupant represent marion be a middle age woman with a man hat mother who constantly accuse marion of sneak men into the house in order to sleep with them ( echo of psycho . ) . she also happen to have a crazy brother carl who live in the wood and because her mother hatred for men be so intense that she refuse to let him stay in the house . after hang with marion for awhile and terry ( our hero ) and nancy decide they must contact their parent . despite everyone warning and nancy brave the dangerous wood to make it to a phone ( her fate be not hard to predict ) . after that and we see gloria again and who be then promptly butcher with an ax . when terry discover that gloria have disappear from her room and she decide something isn not right with this picture and set out to find her miss friend . that may be easy say than do and however and with crazy carl lurk around after view unhinged and i read an overwhelming number of review declare that unhinged work perfectly because it take it time to build it subject matter that create real tension by the time the moment of truth come at the end . normally and i do not drag other people opinion into my review ( especially when they contradict my view ) and but in this case and i be so puzzle by their reaction that i think it would be relevant to mention . this be because in actuality and the film crawl . normally for the slow building tactic to work and the audience must have a strong sense that the character be in danger . oh sure and we see two of them get murder and but between that be endless scene of conversation and boredom . we be aware that there a killer on the loose and but this be only focus on three time in the film while that mean there no reason to fear for the victim . instead and the film event be explain not by the action of the character and but be draw out for u by perpetual talk . if there one thing i can assure you from watch this and it that scene of character merely converse with each other for 75 minute be very tedious . none of this be help by the atrocious acting . it seem that this be another case of the director need actor and decide to gather his friend around instead of find anyone with experience . of course and i would be a liar if i say there wasn not one part of the movie that i enjoy . specifically and the end be one of the best i have ever see in a slasher film while you just do not expect that to happen . just know that the director have the ball to do something like that be spectacular . ah and i would not spoil it for you and nor will i say that the end completely make up for the rest of the slow moving film and but it definitely will get your attention . other than that and the other two murder scene bring at least some faster pace material and but it not like you couldn not tell exactly who be go to die fifteen minute into the film . anyone look for a bloodbath will be disappoint and however while those be the only scene of gore present . that and and of course and no one scene can save an entire movie . i normally preach the doctrine that as long a there action and the bad a movie be and the good it get . unhinge only grasp one part of this concept . the whole film just feel luke warm while there potential alright and but the director either wasn not experience enough to make it work or just do not know what the hell he be do .
