Review of Unrest

Unrest (I) (2006)
10/10
The best at Horrorfest (mind you, I didn't see all of them)
13 January 2007
Horrorfest was an amazing event. And Unrest was an amazing movie. The huge draw for me in Horrorfest was the movie Gravedancers. After seeing the previews for it I was a goner. I was prepared to spend even money I didn't have to try and go see ALL of the Horrorfest entries. Unfortunately, that's not the way it worked out, and I only got to see three, which I selected as carefully as I could, although I'm sure I missed out on some really good ones. I ultimately went to see Dark Ride, Gravedancers and Unrest, in that order.

Let me tell you, after seeing Gravedancers, I thought nothing at Horrorfest would beat it. But strangely enough, I found Unrest to be even better. I know a lot of you may not agree with me on that, but there was something about Unrest, a "je ne sais quoi" that I can't pinpoint, that had me thinking, "Wow, this is what a horror movie is all about!" Maybe it was the the new faces who also knew how to act, maybe it was the plot, or the fact that they used real cadavers (by the way, guys, is this confirmed or just a merchandising gimmick?), maybe it was the non-gratuitous gore or the gut-wrenching surprise moments, I really don't know. The entire package that is Unrest just works for me, and I hope it will work for you, too! See it and continue to support R-RATED (and for that matter, UNRATED) HORROR MOVIES! I know they'll never be able to make enough good ones for me! Keep 'em coming, loves!
