Product Description Enter a world of unrelenting evil as terror finds a new form in The Unborn. From the producers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the co-writer of The Dark Knight comes this shocking supernatural thriller about a young woman (Odette Yustman) plagued by chilling dreams and tortured by a demonic ghost that haunts her waking hours. Her only hope to break the debilitating paranormal curse is in an exorcism with spiritual advisor Sendak (Gary Oldman). See what lies beyond the doorway of our world in this non-stop nightmare of the undead… .com Gary Oldman as an exorcist in an evil-twin movie inflected with Jewish mysticism? You're already halfway there, right? Hold on, because The Unborn is one of those horror movies that sounds more intriguing in synopsis than it plays. Pity unfortunate babysitter Odette Yustman (Cloverfield), who begins experiencing weird visions just about the time she learns she had a twin that died before birth. Said ghostly twin is suddenly popping up everywhere, leading Yustman to visit a rabbi (that's Oldman) who suspects she is haunted by a dybbuk, a spirit of Jewish legend. All of which is a reasonable set-up, but the movie that results is so ham-fistedly written and played that a few good early shocks dissolve in general ludicrousness. Writer-director David S. Goyer, who worked on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, displays a tin ear here--the presence of a surprisingly decent cast (Jane Alexander, Idris Elba) simply demonstrates how bad the dialogue is: if they can't speak it, nobody could. The movie's biggest reach is tying its half-baked creepy-kid act to a backstory that includes Auschwitz--well, you can't say Goyer lacks nerve. There's always Oldman, who never backs down from a little scenery chewing if the cause is already lost. It's not enough to salvage this one. --Robert Horton

Don't be swayed by everything you hear, yes some of it is true, but this movie is worth the watch!!!
I really loved this movie. Yes yes I know they stole so many things from other movies, we all know it if we have seen any of the movies they came from, but still, it's almost like it was supposed to be that way. In one part of the movie a priest almost comes right out as says as much. So with that being said I go back to my original statement I loved the movie, for the movie it was. If it had been all original without the repeated stuff perhaps I would have clicked that fifth star, but then again I'm in debate about weather to do it now or not for previously stated reasons. SO if you read this review and it has five stars you'll know I swayed. GIVE it a chance if nothing else IT is worth the watch.

A horror thriller that is neither bad nor great in my opinion.
Without giving away to much of the plot it's your basic evil spirt wishes to born into the world movie hence the title. It's does well for itself in driving the mystery as to why and how yet fails to deliver in its own self-established lore and logic as the dybbuk entity seems to move freely from one person to another possessing it's victims regardless of their strong convictions or religious faith, with apparently no difficulty whatsoever. So it springs to mind... If it can do that why does it need to be born anyway? In the end a group tries to confront it but really fails miserably and what apparently could have been done with just two people... eh, kind of succeeds? Within the plot this evil spirt has a name, and by definition if you look up the name/word Jumby, it's an evil spirt or minor demon, certainly doesn't seem to be such being its so powerful as to kill so easily everyone that gets in its way. Even the devil himself in The Exorcist had a HELL of a time... sorry for the pun. All in all, not a bad movie, the acting and cinematics are very decent but the obvious plot holes and logic flaws could be hard to ignore. More consideration in the writing to hash out these things would have help to bring some justification in the events. Just watch it and enjoy it as a simple scare flic without having any expectations of a roller coaster, it's more of a love canal of a thrill for the horror fans out there.

Terrifying To The Extreme!
This movie was absolutely spectacular. Terrific acting and the suspense of not knowing what will happen next. This is a must watch. Absolutely horrifying! Scared the crap out of me. I know I will have nightmares tonight. I wish I could give this movie 100 stars.

Very Entertaining!
This movie was very entertaining! I'm a fan of demon/devil/supernatural horror flicks and this one fits the bill. Definitely worth watching, and even features Idris Elba towards the end. Mmmm, love that guy. Great movie!

Not for young people
They rated this pg-13 and they wonder what is wrong with our youth. This is okay if you know that it is not Biblical and total bs. There are no ghosts and NO ONE who is a believer in Christ Jesus can be demon possessed. Jesus Christ the ONLY way, Truth, and Life. The devil is a cut off withering vine coming to a rapid end. I pray this would turn you to Jesus Christ because that is the only value it has. Same old fear the devil crap unholywood loves to push.
