Watch No Telling

No Telling is a 1991 American independent horror film directed by Larry Fessenden. The film is a modern retelling of the classic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, but with a modern, political twist. The plot revolves around a young couple, Lillian (Miriam Healy-Louie) and Geoffrey (Stephen Ramsey) who move to a small town in upstate New York to work on a research project. Geoffrey is a scientist who is working on a secret project to genetically engineer animals, while Lillian is a writer who is trying to find inspiration for her next novel. As they begin their new life in the small town, they discover that something is not quite right with their new neighbors and the local environment.

Lillian and Geoffrey soon find themselves at odds with the residents of the town, who are suspicious of the couple's motives and the project that they are working on. As they begin to uncover the dark secrets of the town, they also begin to unravel the dark secrets of their own relationship. Lillian becomes increasingly disturbed by Geoffrey's increasing obsession with his work, and the moral implications of the project that he is working on. The couple's relationship is strained as Lillian becomes more and more aware of the potential dangers of the experiment, while Geoffrey becomes increasingly obsessed with the scientific possibilities of his work.

As the film progresses, No Telling becomes a bleak exploration of the dark side of science, and the moral and ethical implications of the attempt to control nature. The film poses challenging questions about the ethics and social responsibility of scientific research and what happens when those boundaries are crossed. As the couple's relationship deteriorates, the tension between the characters continues to grow, and the film takes a disturbing and shocking turn towards its climax.

The film's strongest asset is its directing, as Larry Fessenden creates a foreboding and oppressive atmosphere that envelopes the entire film. The use of shaky handheld camera work adds a sense of claustrophobia and paranoia to the visuals of the film. The themes presented in No Telling are relevant and provocative, as they explore the human cost of scientific experimentation and the consequences of placing ambition and progress above ethics and morality.

Miriam Healy-Louie and Stephen Ramsey deliver strong performances, especially Healy-Louie who portrays Lillian's emotional journey through her relationship with Geoffrey and her increasing awareness of the moral implications of their work. David Van Tieghem's score is haunting and minimalist, adding to the film's eerie atmosphere. The film is also technically impressive, with the low budget production values adding to the sense of realism and grittiness.

No Telling is a thought-provoking and complex horror film that achieves its goal of presenting a chilling warning about the potential dangers of scientific experimentation. It is a well-directed and well-acted film that will leave audiences contemplating the moral and ethical implications of scientific research. This film is a must-watch for horror fans and anyone interested in thought-provoking and complex cinema.

No Telling is a 1991 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.7.
