The Unborn (14) * *

Demon Seed!

By ROBERT WALDMAN

Rumour has it that The Unborn may have been a film put on the shelf for a while. Fret not if this occurred or don’t despair how some high-brow critics have razzed this Universal Pictures film. Attach the names of Batman writer David S. Goyer and master director Michael Bay to any project and odds are good it will be at the very least entertaining. Take your seats at Tinseltown (on Pender, free parking), Empire Studio 12, Colossus and Famous Players Silver City cites to witness this tale of danger, deceit and the unnatural.

Some folks complain if they see too much in a trailer. Sneak looks at a film can give more away than what’s warranted, leaving paid customers with that unsettled feeling. This is not necessarily the case with The Unborn, a neat little horror guilty pleasure with a pretty interesting storyline and competent actors.

Fresh off her smashing display in Cloverfield comes along Odette Yustman. Here Ms. Yustman stars as Casey Beldon, a seemingly normal girl who gets by with a loving dad and that extra money she makes babysitting. Together she goes to school at a college with boy pal Mark Hardigan, a resident hunk, while confiding with best friend Romy on a host off issues.

Not all is well with Casey. From out of nowhere she begins to see things. Strange things happen that somehow relate to a little boy and some horrors out of the Beldon past. Director Goyer takes us on a trip down memory lane as apparently Beldon’s past shoulders the blame for some sinister evil that now wants to take root.

Smart use of some of history’s most gruesome secrets may hold the key to Beldon’s future as a God-awful form of evil starts taking hold, first attacking all those whom this young woman loves before latching onto her. Time continues to tick away as this poor girl faces a date with the devil in this effective nail-biter that does work on a rather primitive level.

Odette Yustman is perfect for the part of this sexy girl terrified by unknown forces with Meagan Good (One Missed Call) making a solid friend in need. Veteran actors Jane Alexander (Glory) and Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight) lend credibility to this story of dark evil, ancient biblical rituals and a woman in sure panic mode.

Expect 88 minutes of dark-tinged entertainment showing how far one will go to remain alive and stave off an ever present form of evil definitely up to no good.
