Unseen

About This Movie

Unseen (2019) dives into a world gripped by fear and paranoia. The whole concept of a virus transmitted through eye contact is pretty unique, and it plays out well in the film's tense atmosphere. You’ve got Nicolas, who is just trying to keep his wife, Claire, safe while they’re expecting a child, which adds a palpable weight to his anxiety. The pacing is deliberate—building dread rather than relying on jump scares. And the practical effects? They manage to create a chilling immersion without overdoing it, which I find refreshing. The performances feel genuine, particularly in how they handle the emotional stakes. Overall, it’s a fascinating take on horror and science fiction that feels very timely in its themes.
