    Plot

    After a hotel reservation mix up, two sisters Karen and Jennifer, and their friend Vicki Thompson, meet a friendly, but shady character named Ernest Keller who is the owner of a small town museum. Ernest convinces the three women into accepting an invitation for cheap room and board at his large farmhouse outside of town where his wife Virginia also lives. Once there, Jennifer and Karen leave for the holiday parade fair which Jennifer, a news reporter, is reporting on. At the festival, Jennifer is met by her soon to be ex-boyfriend, Tony, who gets her to stay behind to talk about their relationship.

    Meanwhile, back at the house, Vicki prepares to take a nap in her room, but is attacked by an unseen figure. The unseen eventually begins to pull Vicki into a floor vent when she tries to escape. The grate of the vent slams down on her neck, killing her. At the parade, Karen leaves Jennifer and Tony to talk, and makes her way back to the house alone—where she too is then attacked and killed by the unseen, as it attempts to pull her by her scarf through a vent into the basement. Virginia, who had been in the barn slaughtering a chicken, soon after comes inside to find the bodies of both Vicki and Karen.

    The Unseen (album)

    The Unseen is the debut studio album by Quasimoto, an alter ego of American hip hop musician Madlib. It was released under Stones Throw Records on June 13, 2000. It was re-released in 2005 as a deluxe edition with a bonus CD containing the instrumental version of the album.

    Madlib took mushrooms while creating the album for a month. It was co-mixed by Kut Masta Kurt and Peanut Butter Wolf. The cover was designed by Jeff Jank.

    Critical reception

    Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said, "The Unseen represents a dramatic leap forward for Madlib as a producer, as he integrates left-field, found-sound samples with dexterity and wit that brings to mind Prince Paul's consistently surprising production work." Meanwhile, Michaelangelo Matos of City Pages said, "The Unseen bursts with so much found material it's tempting to think Madlib changed his name to escape litigation, pilfering everything from Augustus Pablo to Melvin Van Peebles to enough jazz artists to fill a West Village loft".

    Alone

    by: The Unseen

    not gonna explain myself to the likes of you
    tired of feeling sorry for feeling the way i do
    ive heard that you cant please everybody on this earth
    so from now on im putting myself first
    doing what you know to be right, fuck everybody else
    doing what you feel to be right, you only got yourself
    never turn your back on friends that are true
    sooner or later it comes down to you
    stand up for yourself and what you believe
    as long as you're true to yourself, theres nothing you cant achieve!
    there comes a time when you may find yourself down and beaten
    NO HOPE, NO FUTURE, total utter abandon
    but you gotta take control, rise up outta nothing
    only you can help yourself, your strength comes from within
    have pride in nothing, cause nothing is sacred.
