10 MORE Great Horror Movies (Nobody Ever Talks About)
10. Unsane
If you haven't seen Unsane, you may know it as "that movie that was shot on a iPhone". Sadly, this is what Unsane's legacy has become - remembered as nothing more than a gimmick.
This is a huge pity, since this psychological drama has a lot going for it. First off, the idea of a woman being involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward is a petrifying concept. Even though Oscar-winning director, Steven Soderbergh, is not the draw he once was, Unsane proves he hasn't lost one iota of talent, drenching every frame with quivering suspense.
The cast, which includes Juno Temple, Jay Pharaoh, and Joshua Leonard (who you may remember from The Blair Witch Project) are all on top-form. Our lead, Claire Foy, is endlessly engrossing, and is able to utter the clunkiest dialogue flawlessly.
Even though Unsane feels like it's setting the viewers up for a twist you can see coming a mile away, it goes in a direction you don't expect, proving it's anything but predictable.
The way Unsane is filmed can come across as a needless stunt on occasion, but there's still enough here to warrant a watch.
