The Unheard




 The Unheard could have had a great execution, a girl regains her hearing and begins to hear/see weird shit and possible memories but holy fuck is Shudder delivering the most boring films imaginable this year. Lachlan Watson has a sweet charisma but it isn't enough to make this film interesting. Is it a character study? Is it mumblecore? Whatever it is the film just exists in dullness, maybe that's the point, maybe we are supposed to feel disoriented since the lead is....only if the film had been shot more visually it could have worked. The second half is jarring but in all the wrong ways, moments that should be tense become redundant. Should have been thirty minutes shorter.
