Plots(1)
College student Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman) begins having dreams about a spooky little boy with bright blue eyes. She thinks nothing of it as first, but when the image becomes a recurring motif and the boy she babysits for hits her in the face and tells her "Jumby wants to be born now," she begins to get frightened. After learning that she had a twin brother who died in utero, she finds a photo of her late mother with the same ghostly child looming in the background. A newspaper clipping then leads Casey to visit an elderly Holocaust survivor (Jane Alexander) in a nursing home. The woman clues her in to a dark family secret extending back to WWII, which prompts her to employ the services of Rabbi Sendak (Gary Oldman), whose skepticism about evil spirits is vanquished when he sees what he is up against.

"Unborn" is a horror movie that fermented too quickly. It is evident that Goyer is well-versed in horror films and knows a lot about them because you will feel like he used a lot of scenes that you have seen elsewhere. Yes, it's not detrimental, but it could use at least a little bit of inventiveness. However, this piece completely lacks it. Dibbuk or not dibbuk, this is simply just a waste of talented actors in a large number of boring roles.

Bay’s fast-food horror factory delivers another mass produced flick that differs from the previous ones only in that it’s not a direct remake, but a rip-off of many other, unspecified films. Well made, poorly acted, awfully written and sterile overall. The only good thing I could say is that Unborn is not that boring. Considering the impressive trailer, a disappointment, but considering the first negative responses, a quite easygoing movie. 5/10
