The Unhealer

Yes it is a TV movie, but it has a good story line and i liked it.

I didn't have high hopes going into this, but it kept my interest all the way through. Acting could have been better and it had a small budget but this was surprisingly good. It's not great, but it was definitely entertaining and the story was unique. Glad I watched it.

This statement is very true for this film. Truly, this is the most unique movie of its kind. I won't give away any of the plot but I will guarantee you that you will be glued to the screen start-to-finish.

Lance Henriksen who is such a legendary actor in his own right opens the movie. Elijah Nelson is the main character of the film. I barely recognized Natasha Henstridge who was considered among the most beautiful of actresses in her time.

The movie has elements of superstition and the gore genre. It is a thriller of the fast paced variety. I would not go as far to say that it is horror film. Though with all these variations, I found the movie entertaining enough to sit through it and my time was not wasted.

Anyone who has been bullied can relate to the main character. You hope so much that people will just be nice, but "boys will be boys". The plot is believable enough for a paranormal sci-fi picture. The characters are somewhat better than the typical,standard fare small town high school kids and law enforcement. Will our protagonist ever get some peace from his torment? He just might.

REVIEW - THE UNHEALER

Films seem to follow trends, it is sometimes as if studios release similar stories or animations at the same time, now I can certainly appreciate this as they are after your money, so it's good to find a film that actually goes against all of the similar trends in cinema at the moment.

A con artists steals magic from an original Americans shrine and suddenly has the power to heal, or does he?

A boy who is being bullied because of an eating disorder falls I'll and the con artist is called in to heal him.

Naturally things go wrong and the boy ends up with the power but....... No spoilers, because this low budget film is actually quite enjoyable.

A healing power used for other purposes, nice story and nice acting.

Rating 6 out of 10.
