UHM - Review - Unborn But Forgotten

I heard this was a decent flick some time ago, so I figured I'd check it out. I wish the plot could have been more original, because it was basically a combination of other asian flicks that I've already seen before, mainly Kairo and Ringu. The story follows a detective trying to find the cause of the mysterious deaths of young healthy women. Apparently the women are normal until one point that their belly grows and they die instantly. The detective ends up tracking the source to a website called the "White Room." We later learn that apparently anyone who visits the site will die within' two weeks. Does the plot sound familiar?

The movie is obviously a rip-off, but it did succeed in keeping my interest for the most part. There are many similarities to Ringu, but it fails to give any good scares; for me anyway. I did like the atmosphere and feel for the flick though, and the performances were played out well. The movie is rather predictable, but that's to be expected when the plot isn't anything original. I would have given the movie a lower-rating, but I found myself interested while watching the movie despite the fact I knew what was going to happen before it did.

OVERALL

A decent flick, but nothing original. Worth a look if you're a big fan of Asian horror and you've got no other options.

I am so godamn SICK TO DEATH of ghost movies! Quit it! Bring back creature features! I mean seriously, since when was the last time we got a good "killer monster in outer space" movie or some sea monster attack?! Jesus, this crap barely qualifies as horror!

David S.Goyer was only the writer for Batman Begins. Christopher Nolan was the director
