THE UNBORN is one of those vapid Hollywood horror flicks that you forget about soon after watching. The only thing it's notable for is wasting the talents of Gary Oldman, who plays in support as a Rabbi exorcist (!). The dead-headed lead is the usual attractive young actress with extremely limited acting ability. She's a babysitter who starts to experience scary visions of a ghostly young boy and comes to believe that her own dead twin brother is haunting her. Predictability ensues, all taking place within the safe PG-13 banner. The scares seem indebted to the Japanese horror genre but this fails to be frightening for even an instant; I ended up laughing at it instead.
... View MoreThis movie.....boy....it is the opposite of horror. Is there even an opposite of horror? Romance? Comedy? I don't know. But 3 seconds into this movie and I started playing on my phone. Like, literally, the movie is on, right now, and I'm writing a review. It's so horrible, that even my scaredy cat kids are on THEIR phones! I should've known that this movie was some garbage when I saw Megan Good. She was good in Eve's Bayou.....and that was it. If it's a horror flick and she's anywhere in it, don't watch it. It's automatically going to be a total yawnfest. Though I haven't gotten anywhere near the middle of this movie, I already know it's going to be a total and complete waste of my time.OK, so I managed to get through the movie. And I have never accidentally laughed so hard in my life!!! I mean, my ribs were hurting! I stated earlier that the opposite of a horror was a comedy. Well, in this case, it was a knee slapping comedy!! I had no idea that a movie could be so bad that it's hilarious!!! I'm laughing as I type this review. If you need a good laugh, please, I IMPLORE YOU, watch this movie!!! Feeling depressed? By all means, give it a look-see!
... View MoreNot a bad film. Great 'jumps'- decent grim moments and a pretty good story line. Basically it is about a female who finds the child she is baby sitting is rather 'evil' when finding him shining a mirror in his baby brother's face. After this and some other odd moments She begins to seek what it is that is happening to her. Unlike an awful lot of the reviewers on this board I am not going to go on like a teenage boy on Viagra about her underwear. Get over it boys! So what!!! N.B Just a quick post script-note This film kind of Reminded me a bit of 'Joshua' and wonder if this is a bit of a take off on it. Anyone else notice the similarity?
... View MoreCan someone tell me if he ever has seen a PG-13 horror that works. There are a few decent moments that can make you jump but obviously it's easy to see that it's a PG_13, for example, when Casey (Odette Annable)is going to bed we always see her in the bathroom, in her underwear. It do looks sexy but she never takes off her shirt or even under the shower she never shows anything. And yes, she do comes close to be a Megan Fox copy. I also never saw any blood or gory moments, what it do has is a few jumpscene's and some nice effects.The best thing I saw was an old man turning in some kind of dog or spider (remember Exorcist). Gary Oldman is in it too, so I guess the producers thought they were making the next big thing in horror land. But they didn't. It's easily watchable for kids under 13. Harry Potter has more scarier moments. Too many blah blah and not that much going on except to see Odette's cameltoe, could be scary too...Almost the same story about Jewish ghosts can be seen and better in The Possession (2012). Too much CGI effects, it do has it's moments but it just didn't work out.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5
