The Unnamable is a horror movie released in 1988 directed by Jean-Paul Ouellette. The movie is based on the H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name. The movie stars Charles Klausmeyer, Mark Kinsey Stephenson, and Alexandra Durrell. The movie starts with a group of friends, Randolph, Howard, Joel, Tanya, and Wendy, who decide to spend the night in the abandoned Winthrop House, a place that has a dark history. Legend has it that the house is haunted by an evil entity called The Unnamable. The group tries to dismiss the stories as fairy tales, but soon they realize that the legend might be real after all.

As the night progresses, strange things start happening in the house. The friends hear loud noises, see ghostly apparitions, and feel a menacing presence. Soon, they discover that they are not alone in the house, and they are being hunted by the creature known as The Unnamable.

The movie has a slow buildup with a lot of tension and suspense. The director uses the environment and the characters' reactions effectively to create a spooky atmosphere. The abandoned house is the perfect setting for a horror movie, and the director makes the most of it.

The characters are well written and portrayed. Charles Klausmeyer, who plays Randolph, is the smart guy of the group, and Mark Kinsey Stephenson, who plays Howard, is the skeptic. Alexandra Durrell, who plays Tanya, is the brave girl who wants to face her fears, and Laura Albert, who plays Wendy, is the scared one who wants to leave the house. The characters' personalities are well defined, and the actors do a great job of portraying them.

The creature design of The Unnamable is impressive. The creature is a mix of various animals and looks terrifying. The makeup and special effects team have done an excellent job of bringing the creature to life.

The movie's pacing is a bit slow in the beginning, but once the horror starts, it doesn't stop until the end. The director uses the camera angles effectively to show the creature and create a sense of dread. The movie's lighting and sound design are also great and add to the overall spooky atmosphere.

The Unnamable is not a gory movie but does have a few graphic scenes that might not be suitable for everyone. The movie focuses more on the horror and suspense and less on the blood and gore.
