The Unborn

The film opens with Casey Beldon jogging in a winter park where she stumbles upon a glove. This moment sets off a chain of eerie events when she spots a pale boy who suddenly transforms into a dog wearing a strange white mask.

After waking from a strange dream about the mask and the baby, Casey discusses its meaning with her best friend Romy. Romy references symbolism in the dream where the baby represents change and the dog signifies death, foreshadowing Casey's turmoil.

While babysitting, Casey hears a haunting voice through the baby monitor urging her to 'Look in the mirror, some people are doorways.' This unsettling message leads her to Matty, a child who mysteriously commands his brother to keep staring into the mirror.

After a restless night, Casey tries to move on but finds the same glove she had seen in her dream on the driveway. This odd connection revitalizes her fears, linking her waking life to her troubling visions.

Strange happenings escalate when Casey cracks an egg, only to be horrified as an enormous insect crawls out. This grotesque event significantly heightens her feelings of dread and confusion.

Casey's fears deepen as she learns about a dybbuk, a malevolent spirit linked to her family's past. The idea that this spirit may be haunting her compels Casey to take action and confront her fears head-on.

Determined to break free from the grip of the spirit, Casey approaches Rabbi Sendak for assistance. Although reluctant, he agrees to help her after witnessing the gravity of her situation.

With the help of Rabbi Sendak and a priest named Arthur Wyndham, Casey prepares for an intense exorcism. The chosen site for this ritual is an abandoned mental institution, laden with her family's unfortunate history.

As the exorcism unfolds, chaos erupts with spirits manifesting and Casey's grip on reality deteriorating. She confronts the demon, leading to a harrowing battle that forces her to confront familial trauma.

In the aftermath of the exorcism, Casey grapples with the legacy of her mother's struggles against the same spirit. She begins to understand the profound impact of her family's history on her own life and psyche.

In a somber yet hopeful conclusion, Casey discovers she is pregnant, hinting at the possibility of perpetuating her family's legacy. This pregnancy leaves the haunting echoes of her past open to interpretation as she considers what lies ahead.
