10 Most Pointless Films Since 2000
5. The Unborn
The Unborn has everything: human experiments, Jewish mysticism, evil twins and diabolical Nazis. The cast includes Gary Oldman, Cam Gigandet and Idris Elba and the writer/director is David S Goyer, who wrote Blade and Dark City. None of which is mentioned on the poster.
More prominently featured – right above the title, in fact – is Odette Yustman’s bikinied behind. Whether shown in the shower or clad in skimpy underthings, the actress’s tush remains the primary focus for the first twenty minutes, which may have something to do with her resemblance to Megan Fox and the fact that the producer is Michael “Transformers” Bay.
Anyway, Yustman’s been having these weird dreams (with aerial shots and everything) about an Eddie Munster lookalike, and when she starts seeing him in class and at the discotheque, she gets all Mystery Incorporated and starts digging. Turns out Nazis experimented on her grandmother and Something Bad was passed on, meaning that when Yustman’s twin brother died in the womb he was cursed to return as a dybbuk (malicious possessing spirit) and haunt her for….oh nevermind.
