Movie Trailer: David Goyer’s The Unborn

MTV has the first trailer for David Goyer’s upcoming supernatural thriller The Unborn. Looks a bit creepy but typical. Goyer may have been involved with crafting the stories for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but his directorial work (Blade: Trinity, The Invisible) has yet to impress me. Watch the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments.

Official Plot Synopsis:
“A young woman is pulled into a world of nightmares when a demonic spirit haunts her and threatens everyone she loves. Starring Odette Yustman, Meagan Good, Cam Gigandet and Gary Oldman, The Unborn is a thrilling tale of one woman’s survival as she fights a family curse and struggles to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born.”

Watch the trailer in High Definition on MTV. The Unborn hits theaters on January 9th 2009.

    Finally, another chance for the brilliance that is Cam Gigandet to shine.
  • I must say that trailer looks awesome... and I like that Masouca [sp] and Harry from Dexter is in it... can't wait to see it...
  • REAL6
    This looks so fucking boring....
  • Blackstar
    What would have been more scary, would have been going to the theater and paying to see this movie.
  • Kick ass! great flick to watch with girlfriend in the dark...

    this looks like every cliche from every horror movie ever rolled into one piece of shit.

    exorcisms? ghost children? monsters in walls? people crawling around like spiders? we've seen all this shit before -- except it made logical sense for those things to be there in the other movies.
  • Thank God it's not a remake of a Japanese horror film? It still looks pretty bad though. I'll watch it when it's on demand maybe.
  • It looks like one of those movies whose trailer will turn out to be better than the actual movie itself.
  • This looks like another generic horror movie that follows the same generic plots as the rest of the horror movies coming out over the past several years. I'm more excited to see the sultry Odette half naked, but then again, who wouldn't?

    When I heard the line "he wants to be born now", I immediately though "omg the return of Vego!"

    I like that Stringer Bell is in it. I'll pretty much watch him in anything. I thought that the trailer looked pretty good. We'll see if this beats out Mirrors as my favorite Michael Bay produced horror film of the year.
  • Maybe they'll explain this in the movie but, if this thing was unborn at the same time she was born, why is it in the shape of an eight year old while she is twentyish? Perhaps three real years is equal to one "unborn" year.

    Looks scary enough I suppose.
  • It has Gary Oldman, Carla Gugino, and the hot chick from Cloverfield in it, I may check this one out...

    David Chen must be happy to get another Cam Gigandet fix huh?
  • Christopher Marc
    this trailer reminds me of the Ring and those awful Grudge movies...and I'm sure that was the point...to steal the look of those films so that Goyer can seem edgy...I think the man should stick to writing because he ruined Blade Trinity which may have ended up great with an actual director.....anyone who would hire Triple H in his movie looses all my respect off the bat...I like Platinum Dunes for at least attempting a semi-original horror film, but Goyer was the wrong man for it...btw the ghost kid's fake lenses are really bad, they look like they got them from a Halloween costume shop

    odette yustman is stunning aint she
  • KeanE
    A movie with Odette Yustman and Meagan Good??? I'm all in, even if the movie sucks it still will have some very sexy actresses in it...
  • smither
    David Goyer is a horrible director...stick to writing please!
  • Chimaera
    Meh, it looks entertaining enough.
  • cellchild
    it looks like compilation of horror movies since 1996
  • i'll buy that for a dollar....
  • R_McCall
    David Goyer is still alive!!! How??? How I say??? Zues!!! You lied to me!!!! Never trust your soul to a Greek.
  • peteo
    She looked like a cross between Jennifer Connelly and Megan Fox. Looks good to me.
  • optimusprime
    I think this trailer looks good to me.
  • Michael
    Scary trailer. Every movies borrows - often liberally - from other movies. "Cliches"? What movie can't be branded with that iron? The maxim is "tell the same story but different". It looks like The Unborn just might do that successfully.
  • Ghost
    As cliched as it appears, it still looks a lot better then what's being put out there. But then again that's just a trailer.
  • helicopters
    Shut up Michael [Bay]. That maxim you quoted is a piece of shit and is the main reason why nothing original is made by Hollywood anymore -- it's a justification of playing it safe by sticking to formulaic guidelines and the stuff that has worked well in the past, rather than use innovation to generate something new. And even by your criteria, this movie looks like a big shitty lump of ALL the shit that's been done well in the past, mushed together into one indiscernible lump of over-polished pig slop.
