Unaware (2013)

UNAWARE is another found footage style movie with a sci-fi rather than horror angle. Another reviewer was right on the money when he said that ALIEN ABDUCTION: THE MCPHERSON TAPE which was ten times the film this is; not a perfect film by any means, but one which had plenty of incident and creepy stuff going on throughout to recommend it.By comparison, UNAWARE is very dull and threadbare. At least half of the running time has nothing going on apart from the dull two protagonists wandering around and chatting. There's supposed to be mystery here, and a sense of pervading horror at something nasty in the garage, but it doesn't really work. It feels instead like the characters are just treading water and waiting for the good stuff, which never arrives anyway (the budget is so cheap that we just see a couple of things in the distance and that's it). Despite being beautifully shot - the camera-work is refreshingly non-shaky and the locations are great - the lack of incident and narrative makes this a very tedious watch.

i am not going to waste your time with a long drawn out review it was boring meaningless and awful don't waste your time '''next''it caught my attention in the beginning then it went down hill from there and as far as the alien well i have seen better in predator vs alien's and whats up with the whining screaming girlfriend,from the point of him opening up the crate in the shed and seeing the alien to the fake FBI agent to the fake abduction and UFO this is one of them films i can forget i ever watched and i don't feel upset i watched it i wasted an hr of my life i can never get back anyways i am moving on good luck selling this one

I am thoroughly amazed that this film boast several awards! The fact that it is an award winning Indy film, and its interesting description made me an eager viewer...but I am now sorry I wasted 5 bucks through On Demand and my time on a Sunday afternoon....I barely made it through the first 25 minutes before I was on the fence about turning it off....the female actress is, in a word: AWFUL. Her annoying forced laughs, sighs and tee hees for the benefit of the camera became just excruciating to listen to...it was painfully obvious that they were trying really hard to "act" like a couple in love, but when there's no chemistry, there's no magic for the screen. It is simply NOT believable. To make this film work, you need that....you need the audience to invest in the characters, to care about them, to BELIEVE they are REAL.PEOPLE. Especially with found footage genre, these are supposed to be real film footage clips...and people in real life do not act that way with each other...whoever cast her was an idiot because it blew the film. She isn't a very pretty girl either, so the shots of her porky legs and feet while she sighs and babbles to herself about how excited she is looking at her ring made it even more difficult to watch. Good looks draw people in but its the chemistry on screen, that believability factor, that keeps them riveted. This girl has neither and that becomes annoying and boring to watch. That's a waste of my time and money. The male actor wasn't much better....but he was better than her and with the right female lead he might have been better than he was...I had to fast forward through him eating an apple, for me, that was the scariest scene in the movie...just disgusting. I will say she gives a good scream and the more action that went on towards the end, the better they were because they had something to work with in the scenes besides just themselves. When it was just the 2 of them improv-ing their relationship (which could have been cute, funny, sweet and magical, I mean he proposed!) But it was the most unromantic, boring proposal ever! Because they were NOT believable as a couple. The reason The Blair Witch Project was so successful was in great part due to the fantastic job the actors did...they had real chemistry with each other, they were real friends...the audience came to care about them as people because they were very real with each other and not at all "acting" for the camera. This film needed that, too many viewers will be lost before any action even takes place because the director failed to realize the importance of chemistry even in the most simple and monotonous of daily human interactions. What a shame!

Another one of those found footage movies , I have been looking forward to this movie since the trailer came out. The trailer seem great however this as got to be one the BIGGEST Disappointment's Ever! (I love most found footage movies.This as got to be the most boring-est and dullest movie I have ever sat thought, there nothing really happens until hour into the movie. Little things were like over in an flash and then panic and then it's calm down for again until last five minutes of the movie, where the movie start going and of course ends! The scenes was okay but nothing great at all as there were no suspense in this movie at all, not sure what to thing of the Alien. I felt I seen this done before and better in Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape (Which was not great but still miles better then this movie) And what hell was the point of that end of Credit scene, Blue sky! The acting was wooden at times by lead Male, the Girl scream was good! One of the worst and dullest of them Found footage movies (I have seen more then few)3/10 Very, Very, VERY! Poor!
