Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Jens Clausen (Genglemt) This contains a minor spoiler, a reveal about a character which will come as no surprise anyway. But now you've been warned.I saw this horror film last night, and just found it to be amazingly inept. Even Lance Henriksen, who is an awesome genre player, could not save it.Very traditional setup of a group of people going to a remote place, to fetch something valuable. Very traditional cast of.. The experienced outdoors-man/guide. The adventurer author, who turns out to be a useless alcoholic. The rich man who pays for the expedition and turns out to have a hidden agenda. The woman who turns out to be more resourceful than we initially thought. The other woman, who didn't really have a function for the story, so why was she there? And the nerdy expert who knows how to operate the tech thingamajig they're looking for. The tech thingy is not a Hitchcockian mcguffin, it actually has a function for the story, so points for that.Oh, and there's a monster, which looks surprisingly good for a film that otherwise doesn't seem to even try. While watching, I was thinking that this should have been made in the 1950s. Then it might have some of that B-movie charm of those sloppy adventure-monster movies from that era. Bride of the Gorilla (1951), just to name one which is not good, but somewhat saved by the style of that era. As is, The Untold just creaks along, really predictable, bad performances, uninteresting dialog. You very quickly stop caring about all of it. The editing attempts to spice things up, but somehow ends up being lame and annoying instead.This one really has nothing to offer. Don't even watch it if you're a fan of Lance Henriksen. Being the consummate pro he is, he does a fine job of delivering his lines, and he makes you believe in his character. But that doesn't lift the film up from being intensely uninteresting. Skip it.I give it two stars for a passable monster, a functioning mcguffin, and Lance Henriksen. Take my word, it's not worth your time.

gavin6942 Based on actual accounts, "The Untold" is the story of Harlan Knowles (Lance Henriksen), billionaire and President of Bio-Comp Industries who heads up a team of experts in a quest to locate a company plane that disappeared over the remote forests of the Pacific Northwest.This film is another example of Lance Henriksen giving credibility to a movie that did not deserve it. That is not to knock him. He is a great actor, and has made consistently good movies and television since before I was born. But the sad thing is his willingness to appear in low-budget films means people will rent or buy a film to see him, even though the rest of the movie (plot, direction) is just awful.I do not even feel the need to review this film because it was so bad. There was a clever gimmick of having a DNA analysis machine. I liked that, except when it said that someone had a heart condition in their youth. I highly doubt that would be in the DNA code.

Darryl Deinhuremutter This looks decidedly like "the amateur" hour. How this piece of trash was ever released is beyond me: the acting, the story, the characters, the supposedly special effects, etc...it's ALL wrong. Why Lance Henriksen accepted this will remain one of the great mysteries of cinema. Maybe he was in dire need for money or maybe be was under the influence of some illegal drug.It is pointless trying to explain you what this movie's about. It deals with the big foot legend but done in the worst possible manner. In fact, this stinker smells like a direct-to-video release.Avoid at ALL costs! 0* out of 10*

Great White North OK, first off, I gotta say, I am disappointed with the lack of Sasquatch movies available out there. The existence of a Bigfoot/Sasquatch is a really compelling issue, and really don't get why there haven't been more films out there about them.OK, enough putting this off. I was expecting a low budget movie with low quality acting (except for Lance, he did OK, considering). I was pretty much right on the money.The fade to black, stupid lines that reminded me of a Junior High play, and that stupid spinning camera circus performance were annoying as hell. If you're looking for high quality film making at it's best, do not pass go, and do not collect $200.BUT! If you are looking for a great story line that could have been something great with the right amount of money, and actors, here it is.The story line itself is a great thought, and if there had been more budget, it could have been a great movie. Not necessarily a blockbuster, but at least something that people wouldn't have slammed.Anyhoo, I liked it. It's waayyyy better than "Open Water" Just goes to show, Different Strokes.
