The scientist Diana Purlow (Dina Meyer) is performing experiments with the mind of criminals sentenced to death in the prison of the sadistic warden Earl Blakely (Dennis Hopper). She tests an apparatus she developed and capable of read minds in a man that claims to be innocent of a murder, but she is not able to convince her former lover and Governor (Jeff Fahey) to call off the execution. When the serial killer Jesse Mowatt (Pavan Grover) is arrested and sentenced to death, she convinces the warden to submit Jesse to her experiment. While working with the murderer, Diana faces pure evil in its essence.
"Unspeakable" is an intriguing story with gore and supernatural elements that unfortunately has a terrible conclusion. In the last five minutes, it is disclosed the character "Alicia", without any previous reference along the story, and I honestly did not understand why Jesse wanted Diana to kill him. For me, this conclusion is absolutely senseless. Further, there is a complete lack of explanation why Jesse had such abilities. Pavan Grover in the role of a diabolic serial killer pays homage to Harry Powell, the serial killer performed by Robert Mitchum in 1955 "The Night of the Hunter", with the words "Love" and "Hate" tattooed in his fingers. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Poder da Mente" ("The Power of the Mind")
