    So many profoundly silly movies would never have existed without Roger Corman, but I will always love "The Unborn," a movie where the heavily pregnant heroine learns the rules of pregnancy by smoking a cigarette, petting a cat, and eating fish all at the same time. Plus, Evil Fetus Puppet:

    For the 8th and final day of Hanukkah I bring to you the 2009 Hollywood version of a Jewish horror movie, The Unborn. This movie is built on the legend of the dybbuk. While not a great representation, it did bring Jewish folklore to the main screen. #horrorhost #horrorcommunity #hanukkah #theunborn

    Cries of the Unborn (2017) with a spectacular 74% giving it a the lowest possible score on Letterboxd. 1.7/10 on IMDB. Based on the reviews it's 12 Angry Men where 1 juror convinces the other 11 that it's perfectly okay to kidnap someone as long as you're preventing an abortion.

    Just watched this and it’s as bad as advertised! 😂 Funny thing: David S. Goyer later wrote AND directed a thematically similar film “The Unborn” (2009) that I remember. Major difference? The Unborn uses Jewish folklore instead of the satanic panic. Demonic Toys has a higher IMDb rating! 😬

    The Unborn—Timothée Chalamet's uncle directs this occasionally evocative horror film about the terrors of childbirth. Could stand to be a little more pulpy or a little more in touch with its central metaphor, but a good watch. Kudrow has two lines, but is cast with some of her Groundlings cohort

    I find it funny when movies share the same name. Like there are two horror movies named "The Unborn", one is a 2003 Thai movie about the ghost of a pregnant woman who was murdered and her baby was ripped out and another is a 2009 Jewish Ghost Story film from the US. #horror #movies

    Heavy Rain was awesome. I remember they tweaked the game play when PS3 had those motion controller. Made it a little more immersive. I just finished playing Beyond Two Souls last summer. That game was a blast. But I feel like the movie “The Unborn” spoiled the ending of the game for me.

  • The Movie Mob @mooney240TMDB reviews · Aug 19, 2022

    Overall : When it comes to lower-budget horror movies, The Unborn is a pretty solid addition. Part of why I enjoyed this movie as much as I did probably had more to do with laughing at my friends who freaked out in the theater than the actual movie itself. But with that being said, the movie is pretty good too! The Unborn has a better cast than a typical horror flick with Gary Oldman and Idris Elba, along with solid performances from Odette Annable and Meagan Good. The quality of the…

  • JPV852 @JPV852TMDB reviews · Jan 2, 2021

    Poorly conceived (pun intended) supernatural-horror film that is only watchable because of Odette Ystman (not for her acting so much). Gary Oldman is only in this for maybe 20 minutes although gets above title billing; I assume he did this partially as a favor to writer-director David S. Goyer who co-scripted Batman Begins a few years earlier. Idris Elba also has a small role but only 5-10 minutes of screen time himself. This is one that's been sitting on my shelf for several years, now I know…
