MaryAnn’s quick take… A portrait of grief and guilt that’s only mildly engaging, until it morphs into a wannabe psychological thriller and turns limp, laughable, and just plain icky. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Ah, so much sleek wealth! Ah, so little common sense! Gemma (Jasmine Hyde) and Will (Richard Flood) are a well-off English couple mourning the death of their small son in a terrible accident in their home. Initially, writer-director Gary Sinyor manages to limn a mildly affecting portrait of their guilt and grief: Gemma starts having panic attacks that blur her vision; Will begins to hear their son’s voice in his bedroom. Overall, though, they’re coping as well as can be expected, which isn’t terribly engaging dramatically, until mysterious Paul (Simon Cotton) enters their lives and disrupts their relationship entirely,...

Gary Sinyor's request to Bob Iger
Concern over Star Wars: The Last Jedi monopolising cinema screens next month has come to a head with Gary Sinyor, director of British thriller The Unseen, taking out an advert in the Guardian to ask Disney CEO Bob Iger to free up a screen in London for his film.
"The new Star Wars film is going to be not just in every cinema complex but also nearly every screen and for nearly every performance... One small screen in Central London would have a negligible effect on them but means a huge amount to an independent British feature film," Sinyor said.
Having a choice about what to see is also likely to matter to the public, with 22% of UK residents visiting cinemas more often over the Christmas period that at any other time of year.

The stars were out on Tuesday night for the London première of Gary Sinyor's new thriller The Unseen, which stars Jasmine Hyde as a woman trying to put her life back together after the loss of her young son. Attending in a magnificent gown by Miami designer Misha Kaura, Jasmine looked a world away from her character, who must wrestle not only with the pain of bereavement but with panic attacks that rob her of her sight - just as her husband (played by Richard Flood) is starting to hear voices.
A twisting tale with a heroine who is determined to control her own destiny despite the pressures she faces, The Unseen provided a big break for Jasmine, who has previously been seen in The Truth Commissioner and A Distant Mirage. "My first lead in a feature,...
