Let’s not beat around the bush here. I’m interested in this is because Gary Oldman is a god – maybe not the god, but a god – and he doesn’t star in enough movies. So, when he does, I jump all over it.

The plot synopsis of The Unborn is pretty basic: “A young woman fights the spirit that is slowly taking possession of her.” Alright. Oldman plays a character named Rabbi Sendak, so it’s safe to assume he’s trying to help out the young woman and destroy the spirit. Maybe he is a Jewish exorcist, I don’t know. The young woman is played by Odette Yustman, who doesn’t really have a whole lot of leading lady experience under her belt, besides one of the roles in Cloverfield. And the ridiculously beautiful Carla Gugino co-stars as well. And this all comes from writer and director David S. Goyer, who hasn’t directed much (The Invisible, ZigZag, and Blade: Trinity), but has quite a collection of writing credits to his name including The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, the Blade trilogy, and Jumper.

Yeah, I know. The mash of what he has worked on is confusing my brain too. But I will follow Gary Oldman to the depths of hell and I’m hoping with this resurgence of his career he is making some smart choices (it’s hard to believe that just a few years ago he had fallen to the likes of mindless straight-to-DVD action movies – what a crime).
