With 5 people at the cinema i was completely outnumbered on which film to see, i voted franklyn everyone else voted The Unborn. I really didn't want to see this movie. Michael Bay as producer it was a bad omen to me. We went anyway and here is what i think. Seriously, what is with David S. Goyer!? How can you write solid gold scripts for movies like The Dark Knight and Batman Begins and pen classic lines like "why so serious!?" and "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" and stoop as low as the cursing riddled, plot hole ladden and predictable plot driven drivvle like this? The writing is the first problem i had with this film. about 15 minutes into the movie one of the characters says to another one "thats retarded" to which i said to the person sitting next to me "this script is retarded" The plot is predictable and everything is a blatant plagerism, i went through the whole film remarking every film it plagerised. A few examples are The Exorcist and The Shining. The acting was absolutely dreadful and i was shocked to find Gary Oldman was in it. Even the mighty Gary couldn't save this movie. And one of the characters is German and she thinks she can get away with a German accent by adding v's into every word she utters in the second dimension. And it's called horror for a reason. It's meant to be scary and The Unborn relies tou much on jump scares and bad atmosphere and the whole film looks disgusting shot through some blue filter and everything looks cold steel blue. When will Hollywood get over little children on horror movies. The whole scary children premise of every modern horror movie is overused and just plain boring and not scary at all. At the end you still have unanswered questions like the dog the bugs. All in all an awful movie, don't go see it. Go see benjamin button. peace out.
