    SO the jittery creepy sequences are rare? Judging by the trailer it looks like they are a staple of the movie :(

    The scenes with the old dude crawling after the woman worked because the camera stayed on him for lengths at a time. It was one of the rare practical/physical effects that played really well. The rest of the film is made up of the jittery, fast-edit crap.

    good to know i'm not the only one who thinks these trailers are hilarious. It looks like pure comedy and i LOL'd my ass off last night when i saw a trailer for it while watching "the exorcism of Emily Rose" on Lifetime.

    Ouch... I was hoping The Unborn was going to be good for some scares, but this sounds like a DVD rental.

    Let me get this straight Hunter....you don't understand why an evil spirit that can re-animate a dead kid, an unborn kid, and an old man would want to enter Odette Yustman's body?

    The kids name was Jumby, not Gumby. He wasn't really born in Auschwitz, he died there then was "reborn" there by an evil spirit.

    This movie was silly, but in a way that warms the heart of a hardened horror fan. Goyer just tries so hard to entertain that you can't help but getting caught up in the absurdity of it all. I am sure it was his full intention to make a scary movie but because he doesn't know where to stop, he accidentally endsup in a place where a director like Paul Verhoeven would've started: making a subversive horror film that takes the mickey out of the J-horror genre.

    The first 40 minutes of this movie are like one long joke. I know it has become fashionable to make these PG-13 horror pics go from scare to scare about every 7-10 minutes. But Goyer says to hell with fashion- he can do better. He can toss in a senseless scare every 5-7 minutes. Now, after one or two you start to get the giggles but after the third or fourth false scare in 20 minutes you begin to Laugh Out Loud. After an hour, you no longer care that the movie is not even vaguely scary.
