The Unborn

Watched The Unborn at JB CitySquare on 04 April 2009.Source: Fandango
A 19-year-old girl haunted by a "dybbuk" (a malevolent wandering soul of Jewish folklore) that was once a young boy ruthlessly slaughtered in Auschwitz. Casey Beldon was just a young girl when her mother vanished out of her life. And though Casey has never forgiven her mother for abandoning their family, she begins to understand why when a tortured ghost begins stalking her by day, and horrific nightmares make her scared of falling asleep at night. Hoping that her spiritual advisor, Rabbi Sendak, possesses the power to make these awful visions stop, Casey enlists his aid and gradually uncovers a family curse that stretches all the way back to Nazi Germany. An entity with the ability to possess anyone or anything that it comes into contact with is stalking Casey from another plane of reality, and it's gaining strength with each new possession. Now, as the curse is unleashed, the frightened girl realizes that her only chance for survival is to close a door that was pried open by someone who was never born, and prevent the force from crossing over into the physical world. Though her sympathetic boyfriend and best friend do everything they can to help, Casey is ultimately left to face this otherworldly horror on her own.
Matty: "Jumpy wants to be born NOW!"Most memorable part is the theatre's stench; an unbearable reek of left-over food spilt onto the carpet. Once step in, this foul odor surge up your nostrils, forcing one to feel like puking. & I've miraculously survived this 1hr 28mins ordeal! *Congrats*
A typical "Exorcise" movie, without usage of "Holy Water". It's a considerably good watch, rate it 8/ 10.
