Unborn

I recently watched the Tubi Original, Unborn (2022). The storyline revolves around an expecting mother who becomes troubled when she believes she sees her deceased mother in the background during her sonograms. She starts to suspect her unborn baby might be possessed and seeks help, while her partner is left unsure of how to react.

Directed by Steven R. Monroe (I Spit on Your Grave) and starring Jade Harlow (Cowboy Bebop), Ella A. Thomas (Desperation Road), Rich Ting (Lone Survivor), Gigi Bermingham (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and James Achille (The Root of Perfection).

This movie falls short of expectations, with only one or two well-executed horror scenes. It has a distinct made-for-television feel. Both the writing and acting are subpar, with performances that sometimes feel awkward and dialogue that lacks authenticity. The "creepy" scenes miss the mark and fail to provide the expected thrills. While there's a promising scene with a doctor, it's quickly followed by a disappointing "real deal" Gypsy sequence. The ending is notably bad and frustrating.

In summary, Unborn offers very little to make it worth your time, aside from a scene or two. I would rate it a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

Firstly, IMDB please stop with these fake ratings getting to the review sites.

How can this film have 7 & 10 stars? There is no way this film any any capacity is that good.

The pros, the acting was adequate, that was it.

The cons, this type of film has been done to the death and this isn't the best version of this kind of movie, the typical evil voice over, just because it worked in the Exorcist but that was that movie.

Content in this film: no nudity, there are two brief scenes of erect nipple through a vest, very brief.

Mike language and at least the death scenes were better than the rest of the movie, slightly bloody, no it didn't bother me as I am a big horror fan.

The first half of the film is more of a drama than a horror film. In fact it's more of a thriller than a horror film.

My beef is in the title, fake ratings, this is why I watched this film.

Be warned: if you read a rating of five stars or above then either they have worked in the film or they know someone who has worked in the film.

Tubi is trying with their own production of films, and some have been real stinkers. This one is a pleasant surprise. Worst pregnancy since Rosemary. It starts with a same sex married couple, and Rachel gets pregnant through IVF, and then strange things start to happen. She gets nose bleeds and those who hear the baby's heartbeat die. It is not like there is a lot of range for movies like this, but it is done in an entertaining way that will keep one's interest. There is a cult, mass suicide, religious overtones and some interesting twists and turns. It is not a fantastic movie, but is a decently done movie and Rachel is a decent acting performance, her wife less so. The performance of the seer was also well done. I am giving it a seven, as it is not mediocre and six seems a bit stingy. And I am a tough reviewer. I did not, however, like much of the last 10 minutes.

I don't recommend that pregnant women watch this...

Better film than I expected. Not an Oscar winner, and not major budget. But solidly creepy and dramatic. The two police officers especially stood out as perfect in their roles.

This was one of the dumbest movies I have watched in a while. The story was stupid and the lead actress (pregnant one was so horrible it was funny. I wanted to smack her LOL and say shut up! Bad movie.
