Taken to the edge of insanity by a horrific discovery in the mind of her troubled patient, Dr. Purlow's worst fears begin to come true when Mowat survives his execution in the electric chair and embarks on a killing rampage. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...expect a load of head smashing, face shredding, blood spurting, brain eating, and body frying, most of it without any plausible explanation.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
Expect no suspense, no surprises, no shocks, no original ideas, no interesting characters, no meaningful dialogue, and no kind of resolution that makes any sense whatsoever.
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
A sad vanity piece.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
one of the worst scripts written since the Ed Wood era
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
It's incredible that Unspeakable features a fairly impressive cast...given how completely and utterly bad it is, irredeemable on virtually every level.

Mr. C

Brutal. Nothing in this whole movie stood out as anything other than a C student in a high school acting class level of work. Considering some of the actors in this have actually had some form of career, I am ashamed for them & Hollywood. It was so fake looking it was painful.… More
Brutal. Nothing in this whole movie stood out as anything other than a C student in a high school acting class level of work. Considering some of the actors in this have actually had some form of career, I am ashamed for them & Hollywood. It was so fake looking it was painful. Special effects were pathetic. The script was at best, weak. The idea was good, but poorly executed. The only thing that was good about it, was when it was over. Probably one of the 25 worst movies I have ever seen.
