One of the taglines for this film is "It wants to be born." Fuck that noise. I want to abort this movie before it even existed. I will invent time travel for the sole purpose of erasing this film from ever being released.
The Unborn goes all over the goddamn place. What is initially just a girl being haunted by the ghost of a boy that wants to be born jumps those rails and crashes into a pile of everything. Apparently the ghost is meant to be her twin brother that died in the womb. But then we find out that thanks to Nazi's and their occult/medical experiments on twins they caused a dybbuk to return in the body of the great-uncle of our protagonist. Her grandmother killed her twin/dybbuk which then attempted to come back in the twin brother that died. Now he's haunting our girl in order to take over her body.
There is seriously just way too much going on here. Twins, suicides, Jewish mysticism, Nazis, the occult, a dog wearing a mask, people and things with upside down heads, suddenly being in a Silent Hill bathroom, Gary Oldman... just too much. There was a hilarious jump scare where our protagonist opens her medicine cabinet and the boy is inside there and kind of screams at her. I laughed really hard at that but the rest of this was absurd trash with a few good visual effects.
I give The Unborn 1 smoking fish chicken (which came up when I image searched dybbuk) out of 5:
