The Unsettling follows a couple who have traveled to Los Angeles to escape a tragedy. Abena (Zephani Idoko) and Kwame (Bambadjan Bamba) want to use the vacation to repair their relationship. But differing expectations and an evil presence change everything. The film uses sound and cunning camerawork to build the tension. The Unsettling is filled with long moments that are toned down in presentation. Abena even points out how quiet and eerie the neighborhood is.
