The Unborn

Ugh. Tedious, boring, flat. Joey is the highlight for trying to act in an awful film. Tough chick with a gun gets old real fast. Was there a story? Not really.

It's late at night in a deserted factory primed for demolition, with just two security guards responsible for covering 18 floors! What could possibly go wrong? Anyway, Joey and Tiffany have to check each room on each floor of the factory to confirm that it's clear, before the demolition crew arrives at daybreak. The rooms are sealed with tape, armed with alarms, and monitored with security cameras, so it should be an easy job. But when alarms start going off for no apparent reason while doors mysteriously open and close, Joey and Tiffany start to wonder if they might have a problem that doesn't match their job description. The Unborn was wildly successful at the prestigious Shriekfest Film Festival, where director Tal Lazar and writer Danny Matier won the highly coveted Best Horror Feature. Despite this, it has inexplicably languished at a pathetic and wholly undeserved 3.8 on IMDB. I find this difficult to comprehend, because The Unborn is a very close to a master class in short filmmaking (it clocks in at a sparse 70 minutes). The characters are well drawn, the tight plot is constructed swiftly but efficiently from a sparse framework of clues, the acting is solid, and the conclusion is punchy. Fans of the indy scene will immediately recognise Manni L. Perez and Chris Bellant in the lead roles. I rate The Unborn at 26.64 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as an impressive 8/10 on IMDB.

I would give this a 4.5 If I was able. Movie left way to much answered, could of really used a extra 20mins for that reason. Was shot very well and acting was good also. I really enjoyed the atmosphere they had for the movie. I'm a fan of movies that take place during a "night shift" at work.
