The Unborn

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139668/
Casey Boldon (Odette Yustman) is a normal hot looking student whom every morning goes out for a run in her tight tight pants.. And, she starts to see things as ghosts, big ants in the eggs and a knit glove from a child.
All these events gets in her head, so, she needs to take a shower…. Ok..?

Yeeeeaaaaiiih shower time ^_^







































Anyway, Odette may be stunning (a look a like to Megan Fox in all honesty) but her acting is at the same caliber as a young Jessica Alba - that is she only can make a troubled face that says “ouw.. Why is this happening to me?” ß Yes i´m being way to mean now.

Casey lives with her father, who nearly are in the movie at all. He however tells Casey abort her past that shakes poor Casey up even more then the visions she starting to have.
The visions gets more and more intense.; She hears voices inside her head, unknown peoples faces seems to morph while she´s with her boyfriend at a club,


“tentacles” coming out from the walls (YES).













It is however a normal PG13 horror and it uses the same elements from movies such as the long overlooked Spellbinder http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096152/ and the more famous Rosemary´s baby http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063522/
It also copycat the spiderwalk sequence from the exorcist..
However, it´s kind of a refreshing movie since this time the mysticism and the ocult possessions are not from gypsys (wich are more or less a standard in movies such as Thinner, Drag me to hell, The wolf man and the remake that came earliler this year, My Demon Lover and Don´t look up to name a few). The unborn actually dares to mix in kaballah.

Casey seeks help from an rabbi (Gary Oldman)whom reluctantly to do something about all this and to help her at first. . She is more or less certain she will die, he doubts, but oboy soon he will believe..sort of. We follow Casey as she uncovers the truth about what is happening to her and why her mother ended up in an asylum. Has it something to do with evil dark spiritual forces? Or are someone just wanting her tied up on a stretcher? Oh well, she actually gets strapped up really good anyway.

Casey all strapped up for the....ermh..exorcism..






































Beside all the above, it is somehow (or maby even becous) a rather good/enjoyable little horrorflick, ok it does mostly rely on “jump and scare” scenes and loud sound effects but they are somehow effective. Without giving to much away, there is a scene where someone is having a “spasm attack” on the floor, wich in some way turned me on ^_^ . Oh and yes, this might have the hottest exorcism scene ever.

You know I do.
Do you think it´s possible to be haunted by someone who wasn´t even born?

Trivia.
The black & white movie that are on tv when Casey is on the phone with her friend Romy (Meagan Good) is The Invisible Man http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024184/

Kaballah is an ancient wisdom, some call it meditation - others call it a religion and some call it witchcraft/knowing on how to summon dark spirits. It is however linked to the jews and that is what I ment that this movie actually has the guts to bring it into the movie.
