The Unborn. After suffering through this movie a few more words with the "un" prefix meaning not  come to mind. Such as uneventful, unsettling and un-........intelligble? My favorite this movie should have remained unwritten.

I had hopes for this movie. The trailer had me a bit intrigued ; A young girl , whom we come to know in the movie as Casey, (resembling a less "hot" version of Megan fox ask's her dad if she was a twin and he reveals she was.) Her would-be  twin brother nicknamed "Jumby" died while they were still in the womb. But come on with a name like Jumby was his death a bad thing? 
  Casey and a slew of noticeable B-list actors were unable to pull this movie together. But it wasn't their fault. The movie was down right confusing. The whole plot about this "unborn child" dates back to when Casey's grandmother, who was also a twin, was sent to Auschwitz concentration camp. The Nazi's took a special interest in twins and they experimented and killed them regardless of age. Casey's grandmother 's twin brother was killed during an experiment.

He came back to life two days later but no one suspected anything until he started acting mean..... A dibit (a ghost) that takes an interest in twins took over his body. Eventually the grandmother realized her brother was not the same and killed him herself but the ghost never went away. It hovered, waiting for another twin possibly . Casey's mom killed herself which is mentioned but didn't happen during the movie and there really is no clear explanation why. But it apparently ties into this dibit for some reason .Throughout the whole movie you never see Casey's father again after he reveals keeping the the twin secret to Casey so she's pretty much on her own to fend off this dibit that kills everyone she loves including the rabbi and other men she enlist to get an exorcism?!?! The real mystery is how the movie itself The Unborn  has the audacity to call itself a thrilller, a horror or even intelligent. Its tried way too hard and doesnt suceed at all.

And the twist at the end? Casey is alone, because all her loved ones have been killed, and she's pregnant with twins. Didn't see that coming. But I don't know why the creators did too because I dont know what this means for Casey and her unborns.
Save time and money folks. More importantly save your self the money you might spend on botox because the story line has you raising your eyebrows throughout the whole thing and unfortunately long after its over.
