What You Need To Know:
Even though Scripture is used to stop the demon, THE UNBORN contains lots of pagan superstition, occult elements and demonic imagery. It has a very mixed pagan worldview, with a rabbi and an Episcopal priest as somewhat positive characters. The rabbi, however, uses Kaballah to perform an exorcism ritual. Also, the demon possesses the priest at one point. There is strong, scary violence, foul language and implied sexual content.
