The Unborn
Unrated DVD Edition
Written and Directed by David Goyer
Starring Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, Idris Elba, Meagan Good
Universal Studios Home Entertainment
Release Date: July 7, 2009 Casey (Odette Yustman) seems to have a great life. She has a great good looking boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a hot friend (Meagan Good), and a nice dad (James Remar). Plus, she is terribly good looking, too. She seems to have it all but I doubt you would want to trade places with her. It seems that this pretty little lady is haunted in her dreams by her unborn twin brother. Apparently during childbirth, her umbilical chord wrapped around her bro’s neck, killing him in the womb. Turns out her undead brother holds a grudge and is bringing some demonic buddies to exact revenge on his sis in this horror movie written and directed by David S. Goyer. Goyer, best known for the Blade movies and Batman Begins, weaves a by the book horror movie. Hottie girl plagued by a supernatural evil? Check. Scary monsters and demons? Check? Finale with exorcism and high body count? Check and check. It is not anything that you haven’t seen before and Goyer never once tries to reinvent the genre, but that is not the point. The whole point of the movie is to deliver a story that is interesting and scary at the same time and it more or less fills those requirements on more than one occasion.

| New ‘Unborn’ Images + Trailer + Synopsis |
|
For those of you not aware, The Unborn is a new horror movie written and directed by The Dark Knight scribe, David Goyer. A new trailer, images, and a website have now been released to the masses. The film stars Odette Yustman (Cloverfield), Gary Oldman (Harry Potter), Meagan Good (Saw V), Cam Gigandet (Never Back Down), James Remar (Pineapple Express) with Jane Alexander (The Ring), Carla Gugino (Sin City), and Idris Elba (American Gangster). It’s being released on January 9, 2009. It’s also produced by Michael Bay (Michael Bay!). With so many God-awful horror movies coming out, we can only hope this one is a terrifying refresher. The movie looks like your typical horror movie concoction — pretty people, people/things twitching and horrifying children. But with the addition of Gary Oldman to that mixture, it may just be worth a peek; there has to be a reason he signed on! Now we play the waiting game to see if it gets the dreaded PG-13 kiss of death. Check out the trailer, images, and synopsis here below and be sure to visit the official site.
