The Unborn Movie

Title: The Unborn (2009)

Studio: Phantom Four

Director/Writer:David S. Goyer

Starring: Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, Meagan Good

I wanted to watch this movie even before the trailer was over. The trailer showed scenes with bizarre creatures, humans with upside down heads walking eerily down stairs and that creepy weird eyed kid! Stuff so disturbing I just had to see it for myself.

I love spooky, creepy, scary stuff and fortunately the movie brought it. The action starts right away and you are immediately transported to an unstable place with a scary atmosphere. Things start happening right away slowing later.

The movie is inspired by the legend of a dybbuk, a malevolent spirit denied entry into heaven that roams the human world searching for a body to inhabit. The main character, Casey, played by the beautiful Odette Yustman suspects that the spirit haunting her is the soul of her dead twin. She seeks help from the amazing actor Gary Oldman who plays the rabbi that must perform the exorcism to save her.

Yes, the movie borrowed from many other movies but I was entertained so I say go watch it.

Max Payne

I watched the Max Payne movie starring Mark Walberg last night. It was the unoriginal story of a cop seeking revenge based on some video game.

The only thing I enjoyed was the great special effects each time the dark winged creatures appeared. I loved seeing their black wings and the setting become consumed in fire. It created a thrilling and spooky atmosphere and was the only good thing about the movie.

I wished they would've gone more into the angel lore. It was more interesting and visually satisfying then the route they took with the movie.

The movie borrows from the Norse mythology a creature called valkyrie. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain.

See . . . much more interesting.
