The Unborn Reviews

The Exorcism of a Dybbuk!

This is a somewhat interesting film to watch, especially since some parts reminded me of scenes in 'The Exorcist' (twisting heads etc..).

It's essentially the story of an exorcism of a dybbuk (a malevolent spirit that refuses to leave the human world and inhabits the body of a person) who wants to be born now.These little buggers are not so easy to send back from where they came from!Obviously until the end of the film everyone is kept guessing as to why this dybbuk is hounding Casey Beldon.

The story is extremely predictable and at times not very convincing.Every so often I'd be distracted by the main actress' incredibly bad skin that is very unusual to see in a Hollywood film.Perhaps the fact that I was distracted like that meant that the film was at times a bit of a let down.Nevertheless it's entertaining to watch once only. Not the sort of film I would buy on DVD and watch several times at home.

Dear God its one giant Cliche

I went to see this at the cinema insterad of of valkerie...BIG MISTAKE!

Take every stupid horror film cliche ever...like, stabbed girl crawling slowly up the stairs while killer walks calmy up behind her.

Add a dash of totally overused 'lets exorcise the monster out' from a very old very big book (which she somehow steals from the library)and lo and behold it comes out !! Lots of blowing wind and swishing lights!

Then make the girl half naked most of the time walking around in just jeans and tshirt in the snow, (oh plus her good looking boyfriend of course)

Not forgetting the typical best mate who doesn't believe her and goes around saying 'girlfriend' and wobbling her head a lot.

Oh dear! most of the cinema was in hysterics at this film and not because its meant to be toungue in cheek...it's just that bad.

I gave it one star because the dog is quite scary, it made jump once and bizarely Gary Oldman is in it (he must not have read the script, is all I can say)

meh

A story about an exorcism. It did spark my interest when scenes reminded me of the exorcist. The best scenes are of comparable quality to the recent Hollywood remakes of Japanese horror films. Here is the problem, the scenes of an acceptable horror quality are dispersed amongst largely cliché drivel. I don't usually suffer from attention problems when watching films. This one I did. It is watchable. Once.

WOW

To be honest - I wasnt expecting much from this as I had read all the bad reviews. I had seen the trailer and thought it looked amazing but was sort of influenced then by the bad reviews - but, nonetheless, I wanted to see it. Buy are those reviewers wrong! THis film rocks! Its amazing. It actually HAS a story, the acting is good, the effects are amazing and there are loads of jumps n insane madness in this to keep you gripped. I sure enjoyed it - yes, there aint exactly a lot of gore - its more supernatural type stuff - but really really good!!! Top marks!!

The Unborn

The Unborn was slow and dull. There was only about 3-4 scary/gorey scenes throughout the whole film. The story line was far too indepth. Overall it was rubbish and I nearly fell asleep. I was more scared when half way through the movie, someone i was watching it with moved his arm and it made me jump. PANTS!

Don't bother

Pure and utter drivel!!!

No suprises there!

What can I say?!? Is this suppoesed to be a horror? I didn't even feel so much as a heart flutter watching this movie. Just as the other reviewers have said, it's totally predictable...and, please, the Cliches!!

Everything about it was just bad...

Not bad

This film didnt really have an amazing story line and yes in places it was a lot like any other scary movie however the sheer tension throughout the film made me anxious and very scared! It was just jump after jump and some extremely bizzare storys within it, there was a part in the film which just was a bit sickining and didnt really need to be included, (I will let you watch and see if you can guess which bit!) Overall if you are into scary films and wanto hide behind the seat till its over but still enjoy it then this is a film for you! :)

The Unborn....

I went to the cinema to see this and found it surprisingly scary. My hands were pretty much over my eyes the whole time because it was scare after scare from minute one. Yeah there were alot of cliches i.e. The Exorcist head twist and the story was based on a little boy but whats wrong with that?!! Give this film a go...

The Unborn

Kept me on the edge of my seat late one night...I couldn't turn it off though!! Enjoyed very much...
