I'm so glad 'The Unborn' is opening Friday, so I can stop seeing the trailer

Seriously, how is this movie only rated PG-13? The first time I saw the trailer (below) in the theater — and in front of something that was not a horror movie — I about wet myself.

    I agree. I went to Twilight with my book club (which is pretty much a group of little old ladies). That is not the preview I wanted to see!

  • A.Rae

    Me too, this is the current “cover the kids eyes!” commercial that keeps popping up…

  • wildecat

    Hear, hear! I saw this commercial once, and changed the channel every time it came on after that. The guy twisting his head sideways? The creepy undead kid? Eeeeeeek!! The commercial should be rated R!!

    My 12-year-old daughter literally ran into my room last night and yelled at me,” I just saw the scariest commercial EVER!! I’m never going to be able to go to sleep”. It was for The Unborn. Doesn’t the FCC have rules about what they can show before 10 pm? And honestly, I have to close my eyes whenever the commercial comes on, too. Ick!!!!!!

  • Lynny

    Totally! My crazy 14 yr old vampire loving niece who isn’t scared of anything screamed at this trailer.

  • Sean

    How come we can have terrifyingly creepy commercials like this on network TV during prime time, but it takes something as tame as a butt or a nipple to send the PTC over the edge in terms of what children should be watching?

  • jen

    Scariest thing since that Emily Rose movie trailer. HATE IT!

  • PeterBilt The Nature Boy

    This movie looks pretty dang weird and creepy. But what I want to know is, is who is this lovely looking lady thats in it? She looks a lot like Megan Fox. Perhaps sans the weirdness? Me likey

  • Ali

    ugh, i felt the same way about the “taken” trailer before benjamin button. one of the most frightening trailers i’ve ever seen – i remembered it more than the entire movie. i’m dreading when it’s close enough to the release date to be on television, because i may have to stop watching entirely.

  • Pinky

    PeterBilt – the young lady is Odette Yustman who was also in Cloverfield. Much better looking (and classier) than Ms. Fox.

  • Miss Sassy

    I HATE this trailer, and what I hate most about it is they insist on showing it during prime time when my kids could possibly see it and I’ll be up all night with them having hideous nightmares. Just another reason to keep the useless TV off. Good job, Networks!

  • Josie

    Whew! I’m so glad I’m not the only person who thought this trailer was scary. I hate scary movies anyway, but this trailer freaks me out. My daughter caught part of it during the holidays and asked me to change the channel.

  • ladyli1

    It looks like they showed all the good parts in the trailer. It doesn’t look scary at all.

  • Kari Perry

    Yes! This trailer freaks me OUT! And I see it at all hours so I know kids are seeing it!

  • Snarf

    It looks really good.
    And these “Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the children!?” posts are cracking me up.
