The Unborn (Review)

What I knew going in:
A young hottie (Odette Yustman - most recently in Cloverfield) is haunted by the ghost of her unborn twin. Directed by David S Goyer (who recently worked on The Dark Knight)

Hype:
Meh-. I saw the trailer for this film amd thought it might be at least kinda fun to see young miss hottie's goods and maybe a half decent special effect or two.

Opening Thoughts:
At least this isn't wasting any time with the whole "she's just crazy" angle that darn near every ghost story or demon possession tale takes so that it can suck up an extra half hour or so with crapola. Its getting right into it and waaaaaait a sec - did her friends believe her too? Evidently Goyer thinks more of friendship and the human condition than the last 500 or so horror screenwriters...

Bottom Line:
Yep, the effects are pretty decent. Yep, she's hot. Nope, there's not a damn thing to recommend this one over the other 500 of these kinds of films made in the last decade. A lot of people like conspiracy theroies, so here'ss one for you. Take a popular new director with a big hit on his hands, throw in a few producers who think the guy walks on water, and a Hollywood full of struggling actresses, and what do you get? Most Expensive Hooker Ever. She's hot sure, but $16 mil hot? I mean, go read some of her quotes in IMDB - we're talking above cabbage but short of broccoli. Oh, no wonder she's hot and dumb - she graduated from a Christian College. You know a movie can't be all that great when you're busy rambling on about the actress instead of the plot...
