The Unborn:This is definitely a case of the posters actually being better than the movie. When I saw the previews for this movie I thought to myself, "this movie looks like it has some potential". The problem is, nowadays it seems like directors and producers spend more time designing a trailer than they do designing a movie.
I think that Hollywood has figured out if you can trick some kids into going to a movie for one weekend, and you can make a movie for less than $20 Million, then between the first weekend take, and the DVD sales and rentals afterwards, you will make a profit. The problem is that we are a population that loves to experience something as soon as it comes out, or before in the case of other people. So word of mouth never gets a chance to ruin a movie because everyone has to see it first.
Well I am glad to say that I never wasted my money to see this in the theaters. I saw this movie on DVD rental and swiftly mailed it back after viewing. Why is it that all horror movies seem to feel the need to put in a scene where some character in the movie has to contort themselves into another shape, and then crawl around after someone. This happened at least three times in the movie, once with an infant, once with an old person, and once with a dog. Ridiculous.
I will say that this movie has a great jump factor to it, but that is about it. The story is ridiculous and so are most of the scenes. Definitely not a good movie, you already saw it when you watched The Ring, The Grudge, The Messengers, or basically most movies that have been made in the last 5 years, since Hollywood horror movies started trying to be like Asian horror.
