I didn’t have much expectations for this movie since I had not heard anything about it until I stumbled across it a couple of days ago.

The Unborn is a horror movie in style with the exorcist. This time we get to follow a girl who are being haunted by her unborn twin brother. It seems like a being called a “dybbuk” (of course some jewish occultism thingie)  – which is some kind of being that is stuck between the real world and heaven – wants to be born again.  Our protagonist, the girl named Casey, is one hot piece of ass (as you may notice on the poster of the movie). You get to see some nudity, although you’d wish that it was more of that since she’s tight as hell.

Then we get a lot of surrealistic events with even more surrealistic and bizarre ‘monsters’ (see the pictures below). I love it. It makes me think about Silent Hill and the crazy things that is going on in that universe.

You definitely get scared a couple of times during the movie. It’s not only that regular Hollywood-ish scare-you-out-of-yer-pants-by-sudden-loud-noises (although there are some of that junk) – but rather it is a more persistent type of fear which lingers during those strange scenes. And, what’s more – there’s this creepy kid that lingers around. And then there’s this other even more creepy kid that is cooperating with this badass evil spirit. I like it that they make a lot of classical references to old biblical stuff, like kabbalah, sephirot and a lot more.

Howdy Eli, how’s your neckpain going?

Sweetness! Impossible, unnatural and creepy ‘monsters’. That’s what the fuck I’m talking about!

We also get to see Gary Oldman as a Rabbi who will lead the group of people who are trying to fight this vile being. Oldman, as usual, makes a great effort. If I haven’t already stated that he’s one of the best actors ever, then I do it now. Michael Sassone makes a really good contribution by playing Eli Walker, the poor guy that gets infested with the demon and gets his body really deformed (see picture).

Mr. Black-dude-that-has-the-same-haircut-as-I-do just got his ass kicked by a little kid. And the demon conquered his body too.

Carina didn’t really like the movie though since she got so scared by all the sudden events and creepy monsters. That is a good sign. It means it serves its purpose and is truly scary. For once we get to see some classy horror. Not just crap trying to be scary. The quality of fear is important – and this movie managed to seal the deal.

Kids. I fucking hate kids in horror movies. They’re so damn creepy. I love it!

You can’t afford missing it.

WraaoaoaoaoorrrrrrRRrr! Go see The Unborn or I will eat yer brainzzzZzzz…!
