Cliff Doerksen
[An] exuberantly creepy mash-up of Jewish folklore, J-horror atmospherics, and demonic possession boilerplate.
Nigel Floyd
David S Goyer's non-kosher riff on 'The Exorcist' is stillborn,
Clark Collis
Goyer has penned many scripts superior to this one, but he does make sure you're never far away from a big 'Boo!'
Michael Phillips
Filmed in Chicago but universal in its lameness...The Unborn is the story of a dybbuk who makes trouble for the skinny North Shore college girl played by Odette Yustman, who's always out jogging when she should be considering a sandwich.
Claudia Puig
A laughably bad horror flick involving demonic possession, concentration camps and torturous genetic experiments.
James Berardinelli
This is where many a horror movie falls and never again rises: too much exposition.

The movie's not very good, but there are ideas, good and bad, in its execution that are worth mulling over.
User reviews
A little too creepy for my liking. This movie is pretty scary. The reason he was never born but is an 8 year old kid is because the spirit of "Jumbie," the unborn, inhabits the body of the 8 year old. It's a disturbing movie, with contortions as well as an exorcist. Personally I don't like exorcist type movies. They creep me out. But for those that do and at least try to follow the story (the plot is really simple), you will like it. It's one of the few scary movies that have creeped me out. Don't let the other reviews fool you.
It was crappy It was not that great it wasent even decent it kinda sucked it had no thrill and it was slow it was like oh he pops up a gives u glare from afar so scary not it was easy to guess what happened
Disappointing A hodge podge of plot full of holes. Decent actors in an awful movie.
Makes no sense If he was never born why is he like 8 years old And in adult clothing? Just a stupid movie not scary at all
Good scary movie! This was a pretty good scary movie. I recommend it.

Based on actual case studies, "The Fourth Kind" uses Dr. Tyler never-before-seen archival footage alongside dramatic reenactments to present the most disturbing evidence ever documented in this provocative thriller critics are calling "terrifyingly real"...The most shocking alien abduction movie to date." - Tim Anderson, BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM
