Casey Bell (Odette Yustman) hated her mother for leaving her as a child. But when inexplicable things start to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only spiritual advisor, Sendak (Gary Oldman), who can make it stop.
With Sendak's help, Casey uncovers the source of a family curse dating back to Nazi Germany - a creature with the ability to inhabit anyone or anything that is getting stronger with each possession. With the curse unleashed, her only chance at survival is to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born.

It's a pity that no-one applied the title of this movie to the movie itself. It's a weak supernatural scare-flick with nasty Nazi undertones that should've died in the womb. It's like all those Catholic horror flicks that flooded cinemas in the 1990s but this time it's about Jewish supernatural beings. [Things that go "Oy" in the night? - Director of Intelligence.] Other than that, there's a chick who wanders around at night in her underwear, checking for strange noises. As you do. There are some scary bits but that's because of things jumping out of dark corners, not because this is a cinematic triumph.
The horror movie The unborn is directed by David S Goyer and stars Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, Meagan Good.
