The Unborn

Minä pidän kauhuelokuvista, hyvistä sellaisista. Tämä ei ollut sellainen. En tiedä mikä kauhuelokuvissa viehättää. Ehkä se on se kun voi turvallisesti pelätä, tietäen että tämä on vain elokuvaa. Jostain syystä vain viimeaikaiset Saw:t ja tämä Unbornin kaltainen tekele on saanut vallata kauhumarkkinoita. Ei elokuvassa riitä nopeat leikkaukset, kova ääniefektien paukuttelut ja mahdollisimman groteskit hahmot. Tarinassa pitää olla jotain syvyyttä, joka saa uppoutumaan elokuvaan. Noilla tehosteilla on kyllä keskeinen merkintä kauhutunnelman luonnissa, mutta ne eivät saa olla itseisarvo. Lisäksi kun tähän soppaan heitetään kirkuvat teinitytöt elokuvasalissa on elokuvailta pilalla. Suosittelen välttämään kysestä suollosta.

While babysitting a boy and his baby brother, Casey Beldon has a dreadful nightmare involving a weird dog and an evil child, and she tells her best friend Romy over the phone. Casey is haunted by this boy, and when she goes to the ophthalmologist, he asks if she has a twin brother or sister. She asks her father and discovers that her mother lost a son that died in the womb. Casey suspects that she is haunted by the spirit of her brother. She finds a letter addressed to a woman called Sofi Kozma and a creepy picture at home that belonged to her mother. She goes with Romy to a retirement home to meet Sofi, a survivor of the experiments during the Holocaust. But Sofi tells Casey that she had never met her mother and later calls Casey to tell her she is in great danger.

I like horror movies, good stuff. This was not like that. I do not know what horror movies allure. Perhaps it is when you can safely fear, knowing that this is just a movie. For some reason, only the recent Saw’s, and the Unborn like bungle has got to take over the horror market. Not in the movie enough to fast cuts, loud sound effects, and banging as grotesque characters. The story needs to be some depth, which is not to lose yourself in the movie. Those effects are indeed essential to create the atmosphere of horror entry, but they must not be an end in itself. In addition, when this mess is thrown screaming teenage girls in the movie hall is a film to be ruined.
