The Unheard (2023)

Dumbest Ending On A Promising Movie EVER
28 August 2023
This movie had me absolutely entranced. The whole story starts slowly about a girl gone deaf at 8 years old because of Meningitis. Fast forward in her 20s when she decides to enter an experimental treatment using her own DNA and stem cells instead of a Cochlear Implant to restore her hearing. She is drawn to recover at a house her family rented on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Her mother disappeared from this house sometime during this part of her life.

Then the mystery begins and the tension mounts and mounts in a very cool, creepy way. Great story, good acting, story uncomplicated, definitely catches you up in it. We meet several people she knew as a child and learn some information that stretches the boundaries of reality, but isn't completely impossible.

I admit, I knew who the culprit was early on. But that's because I watch these types of movies as it falls in one of my favorite genres. My husband says I "game" things early on and has learned I am usually right. However, it did not take away from the story for me.

And then the boom came down. Evidently, the writer, and/or director, and/or producer could not think of a finale suitable for the entire rest of the movie. I was ready to rate this one a solid 7! We got to the best part where everything starts getting resolved and suddenly, fade to black!

WARNING: If you like a little closure to your movies or shows that are otherwise pretty good, do NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. There was no suitable finale whatsoever. Two hours of my life I'll never get back type of ending! Unforgivable!!!!
