The Unspoken (2015)
7/10

Warning: Spoilers
The film opens showing us unusual events/killings in a home with the family disappearing afterwards. It jumps 17 years later as Ms. Peterson (Pascale Hutton) and her mute son Adrian (Sunny Suljic) move into the place. Everyone thinks they are crazy and Angela (Jodelle Ferland) agrees to help tend for the child as things then happen. Some teens have been stowing their stash in the basement to create more victims.

This is your basic haunted house killing people tale. Unlike other films, the opening sequence offers zero clues as to what is going on. What is the history? Why is this house haunted? Who were the former residence? Zip, nada, none. It isn't until the film is about to run the credits do you get the explanation, one that caught me off guard. It was unique. I liked it. It made something interesting of a mediocre production. I liked the film, but it appears most people didn't.

Guide: No sex or nudity. I don't recall any swearing.
