    THE UNBORN = horror stillborn - stunted scarefest. GRADE: D-minus

    I attended the special advance press screening of this BAD 'horror' movie last week - and I practically yawned through the entire 88 minutes of this Michael Bay produced over-indulgent mess.

    I could not decide if I was either watching a video of underwear commercial/modeling sessions or a comedy horror-flick - what with Odette Yustman prancing around in her tight skimpy underwear, and the scary scenes were at times comical.

    The cast's acting was mediocre at best - even the usually commendable Gary Oldman seemed bored in his role as Rabbi Sendak.

    And let's not even get started on the HORRIFIC dialogue/lines in the movie - who wrote this stuff???

    Anyway, watch it at your peril - I'm glad I did not pay to watch this trash.

    VERDICT:
    Recommended for the most hardcore insatiable fans of horror movies.
    Otherwise, skip it or wait for the DVD.
    Note: At least this movie is better than The Ruins and most of the recent Japanese nonsensical horror films.

    Not worth a trip to the theatre.

    The same old formula: put a hot girl (who can't act) in a semi-horror with a lame script and hope that people come to see it. Poorly written, acted and directed all around; with a very predictable ending. My advice is to wait until it's on cable or someone you know rents it, but don't spend your own money on this film.

    The movie has a C- because of people who haven't even seen the movie. Idiiots.

    PG-13 or not... That movie is not alright for a 13 year old to see. It was scary and exciting through the entire movie. If you like having to look behind you as you walk out of the theater and not sleeping at night, See this movie. Scary movies are suppose to be scary, and this movie was terrifying. It is a must see.

    UNNNBORRN BABY!

    this is a freaking a amazing movie! The acting was GREAT! I don't know what all these people are talking about, this is a must see movie. Me and my friends saw it and we all almost peed our pants. It had great scary parts that made us jump out of our seats! And now everytime the trailers come on I have to turn off my tv! It really is a terrifying movie, and I would absolutely see it again. 5 thumbs up all the wayyy!!!!

    The Unbnborn

    I took 2 twelve year old children, & to watch them both (1 boy & 1 girl) huddeling in their seats was too good. I found quite a few heart thumping moments in the movie. Both kids thought it was great. I thought it was a pretty good movie. Looked like a good (teen) date movie, I saw alot of boys cuddeling with their scared dates. I would rent this movie later on a cold dark night.

    I loved it

    by ktbel92

    This movie was great. It's been a long time since i have seen a horror movie this good. The only thing that was messed up was the ending but maybe that means there will be an Unborn 2!!!!!! EVERYONE MUST SEE IT...

    Somewhat disappointing...

    by DJ Los

    Okay, so I was really excited to see this movie and kept talking about out... I finally go to see it when it came out and honestly it wasn't even scary!! The scariest parts of the movie are shown in the previews!! A little disappointed, I'm a huge horror movie fan and was expecting this to be much better.

    Boo.

    I want our money and time back. After seeing this movie I felt insulted, do the people making these movies really think their audience is this stupid? I am a huge horror movie fan, all the way back to black & white... I'm not snobby about it either. I will enjoy a hack 'n slash just as much as a serious plot-driven movie. I didn't go into it expecting to have my mind blown or anything like that.... but COME ON people! I thought I'd at least be able to enjoy some cheap "make-you-jump" moments, and even those were pathetic. The trailer has all the good moments. The friends I went with had a hard time not laughing all the way through, it was just ridiculous the amount of crap in the plot you had to try and swallow to get through. The main character pretty much has the same expression on her face through the entire movie, and looked like a cheap Jennifer Connoly rip-off. It was just AWFUL. We left at the end saying this would make an excellent Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode.
