Glad to hear the kind words for The Unseen. I've heard about it for years (being a huge fan of The Uninvited, which has long been a favorite) but was never able to track it down. Though I already own the excellent Criterion release of The Uninvited, I have this new set from Imprint on order, and I'm looking forward to digging into the new features and what sounds to be an undiscovered gem of a film.
This sounds like my sort of film. I’m going to have to hope for a UK release from someone as I’m not importing it. I’m intrigued that the two extras are noir-influencers, as I wasn’t getting a noir vibe from your review? Do you feel it’s a noir, Graham? Or is it noir-adjacent? I love noir, but get a bit fed up of non-noir being sold as such. This is how stuff comes back to bite.
Ok let me try and get through this spoiler free. It’s a horror set up that leads into a somewhat noirish feel. I’d say it’s more a thriller. It doesn’t have the tropes of noir either.
