A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I wanted to like this film but i can honestly say I've never watched such tripe has this in my life how anyone can even remotely call this scary is taking the mick it's rare I write reviews but I had to for this please for the love of god don't watch it a five year could of done a better job and I'm not kidding acting awful effects none existent barely hear or see what's happening terribly a joke

I had such high hopes for this film.Potentially something fresh and stand out amidst the mediocre horror on offer on netflix. The idea of a supernatural thriller set against a back drop of impending nuclear war.I honestly had no idea there was a nuclear war going on but for cursory worried mutterings and snatches of television and radio doomsaying. Soon the hope of seeing something fresh and exciting was dashed when an all too familiar line up of stock characters and clichés appeared in the middle aged psychic, cooky professor, empathetic female lead and to be honest boring and watered down male lead. As the film reached its climax, the inevitable nuclear war, I was hoping for a twist that would have validated the 1hr 30 mins i'd wasted on this film but no. Just bland SFX and no real explanation. Don't bother with this one.

This is an old fashioned classic thriller obviously made with much love. We got to see it as a first showing at the London Frightfest and it stood out head and shoulders above the other showings. More Jacques Tourneur than blood splatter. More squeezing as much as you can from the budget than Hollywood blockbuster. But the lack of cash has made the director pull out all the stops and the movie doesn't have to rely on gimmicks or jump scares. Rather it's clever and 'in your head'. This of course makes it even more creepier. Like a whisper that you just can't make out. Great slow burn with an interesting back story. It's quite a unique movie with, at times, outstanding cinematography. The sound track is tremendous and proves that the whole is so much more than the sum of the parts. Go see. You won't be disappointed.

I love the horror genre. I especially love that it has made something of a resurgence over the past decade. Horror is smart, artistic and very much maligned by film academia. For almost 20 years horror genre lovers were left out in the cold by the movie industry and the genre has finally been given the place it deserves (at the top of the list for ratings, box office, artistry and innovation). With such a resurgence comes the ability for first time movie makers and those working to small budgets the opportunity to delve into the genre's murky waters and get their feet wet. These small budget horrors should receive plaudits not just because the work is of interest but because the struggle from concept to screen is extraordinary and arduous. The Unfolding is one of those movies. You can tell from the very opening sequence to its very dying breath that this movie was a labour of love. It brought together a cast of unknowns (in every field) and created a piece of work that stands up against its multi-million dollar counterparts and in some instances outshines them. As with all good horror movies the score is everything and The Unfolding's score is magnificent and becomes a character in its own right. The imagery, performances and direction are also to be commended and as an initial foray into the genre Eugene McGing should be especially applauded. I don't scare very easily but there were moments during this movie that were genuinely chilling.
