(This is about the movie The Unborn.)
A young woman finds out that she is a twin and her brother died in utero. The brother wants to be born and is slowly taking over the sister's body, like a demonic possession. There is even an exorcism scene (which sounds ridiculous to me).
Although I'm not keen on horror flicks, I think this is a positive step.The humanity of the unborn child is being acknowledged in our mainstream culture.
I have no intention of seeing it. But I do wonder if it'll change anyone's mind about having an abortion.
(The picture is priceless.)

Just ASTONISHING! The "twin" in the movie is a dybbuk, an ancient Jewish legend of an undead spirit similar to a spiritual vampire, not the girl's unborn twin brother whose "humanity" is being "acknowledged." It's supposed to be a demon.
And I've seen that picture in the blog before. It's a fake made of raw chicken.
ROFL
And furthermore:I have no intention of seeing it. But I do wonder if it'll change anyone's mind about having an abortion.
What does a fetus dying in utero have to do with abortion? Why didn't god save it? You can't justify miscarriages in the name of god why talking down people who've made the decision to have an abortion, ass. Those two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
Typical fundie behavior.
"No, I haven't seen it, and don't want to see it, but I still condemn it because it includes (various things that aren't actually part of the movie/TV show/video game in question) ."
I remember this sort of bullshit being slung around ten years ago, at such targets as Beavis & Butt-Head , and again at the game that put the FPS genre on the proverbial map, Doom .
Sad, but far from new. I rate it a 4.
Quoth the Raven, "All was still in the gloomy forest clearing. Audrey Patterson the moon let one or two of her meager beams dimly illuminate the scene. 'I can't get to sleep', chirped the sparow Marlow. 'I'll tell you a story', said Hugh Gilligan the newt. 'What sort of story do you want?' he asked. 'Horror', chirruped the sparrow Marlow. 'Whodunit?' said Jack Spratt who had been awakened by the sparrow Marlow's cheeps. 'No, not a whodunit?', said Hugh, 'The capering Christian always knows whodunit' 'What about a biblical tale', requested the capering Christian who hardly ever slept. 'Very well', intoned Hugh Gilligan the newt, 'Horror it is'. (cont. page 94)
"Although I'm not keen on horror humanity demonic hell spawn from beyond the grave that murders innocent people is so totally going to help people recognize the humanity of unborn children.
"I have no intention of seeing it. But I do wonder if it'll change anyone's mind about having an abortion. "nobody wanted to see it.
"(The picture is priceless.)"
@Rusty_Professor: "Link exposing the picture as a fake please..."
I couldn't find one, but I do wonder why that supposed human fetus seems to have an umbilical cord coming out of the top of its "head", and no evidence of one ever having been attached to its "belly."
Mm.movie , is not fit to be a mother in my book.
So the "demon " is exorcised from her body.
The "demon " is an unborn twin (fetus, actually).
Therefore, exorcism = abortion !
If we rename "abortion mills " as exorcism clinics, will you dildos finally shut the fuck up?
Well, horror movies aren't everyones favorite genre, so that she doesn't want to see it is fine (I like horror movies but not torture flics so I won't watch Saw or Passion of the Christ.)
And at least they're not not seeing it because some priest said it's ungodly. But yeah, don't explain it to others when you haven't seen it
That is the most disgusting picture I've ever seen.
"...But I do wonder if it'll change anyone's mind about having an abortion."
Yes, indeed! It surely changed mine. Because of that movie showing the evil nature of fetuses, now I will certainly get an abortion in the unlikely event I become pregnant.
@Rat of Steel: I remeber who last year with Mass Effect, an M-rated game that had a brief sex scene in it at one point if you wanted it, and all kinds of conservatives were up in arms about how this thing would corrupt our youth and must be pulled from the market, when there was like 1 second of bare ass and the game was intended for kids anyway.
She wasn't "posessed by her unborn brother", she was haunted by a dybbuk, which is kindof a Jewish ghoul/angry ghost thing, which was after *her* freshly conceived twins. (And yes, everyone pretty much dies in this film.)
There was no "acknowledgement of the unborn child", and quite frankly Suzanne here should NOT be talking about a movie she hasn't seen, nor intends to see, *especially* when she can't even get the plot overview correct.
/"The Unborn" was fucking FREAKY.
@Osiris: Tell me about it. All that fuss over a 1-minute sex scene in a 20-hour game that's actually not all that explicit and makes perfect sense in context. Which is more than can be said for a lot of sex scenes in films and TV. It seemed to escape the notice of the outrage brigade this side of the pond, and the ratings board declared it suitable for ages 12+.
That's not to say our moral guardians are any less stupid than yours, of course. Only the other day the Daily Express (one of the worse moralising rags, despite being owned by a porn baron) ran a front page story about how acceptance of swearing is causing the downfall of society. I only wish I was making this up.
It's a ripoff of Stephen Kings "The Dark Half" another movie about evil unborn twins.
So if one twin is always evil, shouldn't we kill the "evil twin" at birth?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
