Unborn

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.

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.

If you like Lifetime horror movies then this one's for you. Seen it all before. Nothing new here and not a very good movie. Main actress was the only bright spot. She tried...but with this script, it was a loser from the get-go.

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.
