Unborn wasn't terrible but wasn't really good either. Didn't realize it was only PG-13 until the girlfriend and I got there...which led to the theater being packed with obnoxious teenagers who spend most of the movie making retarded noises and mockingly screaming anytime something "scary" was happening. Embarrasing.

I'm really torn on the Unborn....it looks good from the previews, but that PG-13 tag just makes me uninterested. And nine out of ten times, these PG-13 horror flicks end up being a huge letdown.

"The Unborn" is bad, but it's at least amusingly bad. It had an interesting premise, and a few moments are creepy, but the whole thing just ends up feeling more goofy than scary. If anything, watch it someday in case nothing else is on TV.

R rated horror movies are usually garbage.

 

Yes, but they are usually filled with over the top gore and pointless nudity, so in my books Rated R horror > PG-13 Horror

Amen to that. As much as R rated horror movies get shit on by critics who claim that its a bunch of gore and nothing else, well, what else would they expect? PG-13 horror on the other hand is very lame, and nothing really happens, like no one gets killed in horrific ways, and sometimes it turns out the monster may not be real, or something stupid.
