Reviews
  • Cinemasmack.com: Entertains for all of its ninety minute runtime. Horror fans should certainly give The Unfamiliar a shot as it doesn't disappoint.
  • Carlosdev.wordpress.com: I love those psychological horror films where the main character may or may not be going insane. This is one of those.
  • Darkeyesoflondon.blogspot.com: The Unfamiliar looks very good.
  • Gingernutsofhorror.com: builds an interesting mythology, has moments of tension, action, strong character development, is marketable, and has plenty other qualities.
  • Horrorfuel.com: Looks terrific, with splendid cinematography — including some crisp underwater sequences. Well made.
  • Thegrumpofhorror.wordpress.com: With good performances and a couple of good surprising developments in the story, I did enjoy the film.
  • Scariesthings.com: A clever take on what would at first glace feel like a conventional ghost story / psychological horror tale. It ends up spinning things in a way that is surprisingly satisfying and ends up being exactly as the title suggests: Unfamiliar.
