youngcountry84 I'm no film critic. If a film has bad lighting, I normally won't notice something like that so if you're looking for that, you're reading the wrong review. Another thing, I've noticed that a lot of good horror movies get bad reviews. I think it's because everyone's different. The things that scare you may not scare me. My Mom and I have been watching a lot of Netflix movies. We've watched some good movies, some OK movies, and some really BAD movies! It was my turn to choose & I landed on this movie. I saw Gary Oldman's name (someone I recognized) & decided to watch it. I think it had a great story and I think it was original. Sure, it had some typical horror movie effects & ideas. But name me a film that doesn't! It began pretty fast, jumping right into the story. Casey Beldon is your typical teen. She lives with her Dad & has a boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), friends, and goes to school (I assume college). She does babysit for some extra money (a young Atticus Shaffer). She has kind of a sad past which you'll find out about. Things start going bad for her when she starts having these frightening dreams at night & visions of a kid she's never seen before during the day. This takes her several different places to try and find answers to her questions. The acting was good, along with the actors I mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised to see Carla Cugino and Idris Elba too. Oh, you may want to watch holding a drink during this movie because you may end up wearing it. The movie was so good, I was nervous that the ending would be dumb. That's definitely something you shouldn't be nervous about! I didn't see it coming and those are the best kinds of endings, right?
jtncsmistad From thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/ "The Unborn" isn't really anything you haven't seen before as regards the legacy of a horrific curse. The exception here is that it focuses on an extraordinary and quite detailed Jewish faith-themed conflict and struggle for resolution.And any flick with long-respected veteran acting pros the likes of Jane Alexander and Gary Oldman can't be all bad, right? So, as you may expect, "The Unborn" really isn't all that bad of a film.It's frankly just not all that memorable, either.
begob The premise of this is good. The production looks expensive. But it's an overloaded mess that feels far longer than 88 mins.The opening sequence has a creepy image of a bulldog wearing a mask. It was just a dream! So we're straight into Freudian dream analysis. The dream sequences come thick and fast, and it's becoming a chick horror. Theoretical physics raises its head, then a Dan Brownish kaballa text, then the ultimate Jewish horror of a dark secret in the Holocaust.At this stage it's really piling up, but the only menace comes from images in the mirror and a creaky house at night. Oh wait - they convert to literal with the random demon now actually killing people.This requires a lot of exposition, and then unbelievably at about 65 mins there are five pages of dialogue explaining the exorcism. Suddenly there are new characters all over the place, while other characters have long been ditched.And an overblown and cheesy final conflict.The lead actress is a babe, but she's not convincing in close up.
tanvirashraf-417-537565 only dumb audiences can give low rating. the movie seems stereotyped at beginning but sooner it turned to the horror reality of ww2 that introduced to it's antagonist who is not typical dead man's returned soul. the ghost revealed as a spirit, a different entity who wants a new body.the movie is quite scary, but stupid audiences who skip the norm breaking ideas set only divulge their dumbness with low ratingWhy did You came to watch this movie?? It has arduous exorcism, A girls frightening story that began with dream and with every scene her nightmare just get sheerer. The entity revealed with flashback is quite interesting, it is not a consequence of any tragic incident, it's a dread spirit that eclipsed the whole movie with horrific acts.Overall, people with good horror taste will enjoy for sure
