Tagline: Evil will do anything to live.
Sometimes the soul of a dead person has been so tainted with evil that it is denied entrance to heaven. It must endlessly wander the borderlands between worlds, desperately searching for a new body to inhabit. And sometimes it actually succeeds.
Writer / director David S. Goyer (Blade: Trinity, The Invisible, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) and producer Michael Bay (Transformers, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Armageddon) give a terrifying glimpse into the life of the undead in The Unborn, a supernatural thriller that follows a young woman pulled into a world of nightmares when a demonic spirit haunts her and threatens everyone she loves.
Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman of Cloverfield, television’s October Road) hated her mother for abandoning her as a child. But when inexplicable events begin to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only person, Rabbi Sendak (Gary Oldman of The Dark Knight, who can make it stop. With the help of Sendak, her best friend Romy (Meagan Good of Saw V, Stomp the Yard) and boyfriend Mark (Cam Gigandet of Twilight, Never Back Down), Casey uncovers the source of a family curse dating back to Nazi Germany-a creature with the ability to inhabit anyone or anything that is getting stronger with each possession. With the curse unleashed, her only chance at survival is to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born.
