Just perfect...

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Single mom Catherine Moore (Michele Greene) moves into a quiet community with her six month old son Joey. She befriends the neighbors including hunky John (Scott Valentine). But Joey is a "special" kid. Okay, he is a mutant freak with a face that makes Rondo Hatton stop and go, "Dammmmn!" Seems Joey is one of the genetic experiments Dr. Meyerling, the villain from the first film. To make matters worse, another test mother (Robin Curtis) is running around picking off these gifted little monsters. For a DTV sequel, this isn't half bad. The baby is laughable at parts (it kinda looks like a slimy Philip Seymour Hoffman crossed with Billy Joel) but director Rick Jacobson keeps things moving fast. Chances are he was getting into John Woo around this time given the shoot outs on display (including a HARDBOILED-inspired one in the maternity ward). I will give him that the opening where Curtis guns down a kid at a playground is pretty good.

i have seen better....and i have seen worse.this movie did not hold my attention long enough to prevent me from...washing dishes....mopping the kitchen....or rearranging furniture.the baby is unbelievable even if i do have to suspend belief. Michele Greene and Scott Valentine should be commended to even accepting pay checks for this low level C-grade scifi schlock. I have to admit...i did sit long enough to see the mom give the kid some good "bo's"(elbow blows) to the head. That scene was hilarious!!!Other than that, it was uneventful cinema.

The Unborn II tells the tale of a single Mother named Catherine Moore (Michele Greene) who move into a sunny Californian suburb with her 6 month old baby son Joey. Catherine seems like a normal, nice young lady who loves her son, but that impression doesn't last too long as one of her neighbours Sally Anne (Brittney Powell) babysits & notices the door to Joey's room is locked. Welfare workers (Michael McDonald & Sheila Travis) become involved & Catherine's life suddenly becomes very complicated, add that to the fact that a woman named Linda Holt (Robin Curtis) is on a mission to kill all the evil babies that came about as a result of Dr. Richard Meyerling's genetic experiments. Joey himself is controlling his Mother with psychic powers & is more than willing to spill blood in his attempts to survive...Directed by Rick Jacobson The Unborn II is the sequel to The Unborn (1991) which itself was a neat & entertaining horror film, oh & The Unborn II is most definitely a horror film & NOT a sci-fi as the IMDb would have you believe. The script by Daniella Purcell & Mark Evan Schwartz takes a different approach to the original & when you think about it it shouldn't be called The Unborn as, well the baby has been born hasn't it & therefore it's most definitely not unborn, is it? Anyway, while The Unborn II isn't as good as the original it makes for fair entertainment, it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, moves along at a fair pace & is decent enough fun. I watched this & the original both on the same night & you can tell that this sequel has been dumbed down to be more commercial & cater to a certain audience. Gone are the cautionary themes on genetics & the building up of psychological horror & instead we are given dead teenagers, a central evil character to root for that reeks of franchise material plus a more linear & predictable story overall. It's a decent enough way to pass 80 odd minutes but I can't help but feel someone was looking to create a teen slasher type film with which to mould a series a bit like Chucky & the Child's Play (1988 - 2005) films.Director Jacobson takes charge of this one, he keeps things moving along & there are a few nice scenes here & there but it's obvious he was working on a low budget. I have to mention Joey, when we finally get to see him he looks like the ugliest doll you've ever seen, he looks totally fake & rubbery thanks to yet more poor effects work from Gabriel Bartalos (remember his awful monsters for Basket Case 2 (1990)?) which actually gives it a really freaky & unsettling appearance, once you've stopped laughing at it that is. Not much in the way of blood or gore I'm afraid, a couple of bites, some gunshot wounds & some spraying blood is about as graphic as it gets.Technically the film is OK & apart from the blatantly fake baby effects it's generally well made. The acting was alright but the two comedy relief neighbours irritated me but thankfully they disappeared from the film completely after their daughter was murdered.The Unborn II isn't as good as the original as it's a different kind of film, it doesn't really refer to or carry on from the original that much either. Having said that I found it reasonably entertaining & a certain amount of fun can be had with it if your in the right mood. Just about worth a watch I'd say but only if you've already seen the original. Roger Corman acted as executive producer, is there nothing this man won't put his name to?!

I found this horror gem in a local store and bought it. I watched it yesterday's night and was a surprise for me. I love B movies and this was very satisfying.In order to enjoy this kind of movies, you have to switch off your brain. After that, you have to pretend that the primitive animatronic baby is real (at least in the movie).Finally, don't pretend to find Oscar's performances for the actors.After that, enjoy an excellent movie. The plot is good and believable, tha acting is OK, the music score is excellent.In my opinion, it deserves a 5.0My advice, look for it in your local video rental, and enjoy.
