David Goyer's Unborn is a tame genre effort with cheap thrills and scares that border on silliness.

[An] exuberantly creepy mash-up of Jewish folklore, J-horror atmospherics, and demonic possession boilerplate. Jan 5, 2010 | Full Review…

Cue a creepy toddler, various demonically possessed adults and a Jewish exorcism conducted by Gary Oldman. He's a vastly better actor than the film deserves, but he can't make the script seem even slightly better than it is. Mar 6, 2009 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

A scary movie so fantastically stupid and crass it made my skull contract and my sinuses harden to the consistency of pipe-cleaners. Feb 27, 2009 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

It's hard to imagine a more ham-fisted attempt at the genre of 'womb horror' than this flat-footed supernatural drama with a Jewish twist. Feb 27, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

But the film's fundamental flaw is that these solid spooky moments hang on a narrative that's not nearly strong enough to bear their weight. Nov 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

I truly, truly recommend watching either of those instead of The Unborn. Or your wall. Just staring at your wall is also an acceptable alternative too. Oct 21, 2014 | Rating: 0.5/5 | Full Review…

I kept hoping Oldman would revert to his Sid & Nancy punk persona and kick the little freak in the yarbles like some pain-deserving Springsteen fan, but no such luck. Feb 15, 2013 | Rating: 0/5
