"The Unseen" is one of the dullest slasher films I have ever seen. It's a pity, because it seems to have a decent budget, and the presence of the beautiful Barbara Bach in the lead role, and the endearingly creepy Sydney Lassick (from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") in a supporting performance.
The plot involves a trio of female reporters who come to a small town to cover a parade and find that all the hotels are booked up. They stay at a dodgy museum instead, unaware of the sinister presence in the basement.
There's not much else to say about the movie other than that. It's got a pretty low body count for a slasher, and barely any violence, though one of the women does get naked. Reportedly, the filmmaker had his name taken off because the final cut removed most of the film's scary moments. Those must have been all the film had going for it, there's really not much else here. I couldn't help but think it should have been shorter. There's a lot of padding, making the experience boring and pointless.
