I'm not sure what I was expecting but I did think the 'plot' sounded good. Overall I was very disappointed with this movie. The acting was terrible, the scripting wasn't much better and the effects were even worse.I stayed till the end as I am not one to quit half way through. This movie felt like it had been on for four hours, and not enjoyable ones. I am not sure about the horror genre, I would place it in more comedy horror - even though I am not sure the parts which were funny were actually meant as comedy.Very disappointing and it is only getting such a high rating from me as the plot of the movie is a great idea, if done well.

Born combines a variety of ideas into one old-fashioned B-horror movie. There's a demon visiting a psychiatrist, a virgin pregnant by a demon, the same virgin fighting split personality- her innocent self and the demon taking over, a priest hit-man, an ultra-religious sister trying to keep the innocent girl on the straight path after their mother dies. And there's a surprising twist at the end.The performances are pretty good. Joan Severance is excellent. Denise Crosby is equally successful at portraying a nasty character. But Alison Brie impresses playing her role, two roles actually, with bravura. Kane Hodder was somewhat uneven, but it's good to see the legend play a significant role where he even gets to be funny at times.The CGI effects are pretty bad but fortunately not used a lot. Much better are the real prosthetic and other special effects. There's neat scene of a pentagram on the floor with talking decapitated heads at each point of the star.Overall an fun little movie that suffers at times from a slower pace. But at a time when horror movies are either lame PG-13 sequels or direct-to-video C-budget movie experiments, this is more akin to the 80s B-horror movies; not perfect but with everything a horror fan likes: violence, gore, nudity, humor.

Just to save you money and time I will go ahead and tell you that this movie is absolutely not worth the match and gas it would take to burn it. Don't waste your time. As a matter-of-fact you would be better off forgetting you ever thought about watching it. I have seriously seen better B movies in a language that I can't understand. Who ever gave permission for this to be made needs to be sewed. The only positive thing I can say for this movie is that with a new script and the right director and actors it could be a great story. Let me break it down; A virgin gets pregnant by a demon, the baby while inside her womb wants to feed on people. They try to make up for the fact that this is possibly the worst movie ever made with cursing and pointless nudity. All in all Totally not worth the dollar it took me to rent it.

Seriously, all these Satan comes to Earth movies always involve the Catholics. Why doesn't Lucifer ever mess with the other denominations.The plot is that Asmodeus (Played by former Jason Vorhees Kane Hodder) has a plot to become human (but wasn't he always a demon) by getting this young girl who is his sister pregnant with his child. Except maybe she isn't his sister. The plot isn't clear on this, and they inter-splice these scenes where he is seeing a shrink about his problem.The lead girl gets pregnant while still a virgin, with an incredibly creepy scene of her father giving her a gynecological exam to prove her hymen is still intact.... Eeeewwwwww. Her sister (played by a washed up and looking much worse for wear Denise Crosby) concludes that this is a sign from heaven. Praise be! Well, the demon baby takes mom's body for a joy ride and picks off, in order, a truck driver, her friend's boyfriend and her friend, all being watched by an ex-military priest whose mission is to kill the baby when it is born. We discover that Asmodeus is actually a Catholic Cardinal who is running the whole thing.The ending is pretty much incomprehensible, and if you could make it that far straight through, you have a stronger stomach than I did. (I paused the film a couple of times, it was so awful.)
