The Unborn (2009) 7/10


Starring : Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, Cam Gigandet, Meagan Good, Idris Elba
Director : David S Goyer
Running Time : 86 mins

After a terrible nightmare involving a strange dog and a small boy, Casey Beldon (Yustman) discovers that she was born a twin and that her brother dies in the womb. When people around her start to get injured or die, she suspects that she may be possessed by an evil spirit that had latched onto her dead brother, Casey calls on the aid of Rabbi Sendak (Oldman) who tries to help her exorcise the demon.

This could have been a lot better, but clearly the director was more interested in showing the leading lady in various stages of undress to actually write an intriguing plot line. This really needed a little more fleshing out to make it truly engrossing, but it was good enough in parts and didn't go overboard with uses of CGI or unnecessary special effects.
