Unborn But Forgotten

Like the Ringu / Ring series and, especially, FearDotCom, the premise of
Unborn But Forgotten is that there is a form of media (here a website for a
Seoul abortion clinic) that visits death on those unlucky enough to view it.
That the women who visit the site are, in effect, impregnated with something
deadly is a paradox that is never explored or explained sufficiently. Is it an angry, jilted would-be mother, an aborted child, or some other animus behind the killing? We never learn. Indeed, there are many aspects of plot and character development that, to put it bluntly, seem aborted. The production is slick, the acting competent, and the device of a violent, miasmic, and discorporated entity is fundamentally effective. But the fact that the viewer never understands the killer's motivation or identity, or, by extension, its choice of victims, significantly dampens the film's power. [Ben Howe]
