That "UNBORN" film

So this is how it goes: what might have been a great chance for wombtwin survivors to be understood, has been totally screwed up.  David S. Goyer has done a lousy job with UNBORN. The reviews coming out of  Hollywood may be justifiably scathing, because without doubt this film is dire in the extreme, but it is also evident that the reviewers have absolutely no idea whatever about the concept of the twin lost before birth.  see here   So if one of Goyer's ideas was to get the amazing concept of the vanished twin into the public eye, he has failed.

So here are four mistakes:

1. The producer has taken an idea he knows nothing about and has evidently done no background research whatever into the psychological  effects of prebirth twin loss.

2. He has made it a horror film and this is not a horrible story so much as a sad one. Furthermore if the concept of the vanished twin is regarded as " horrid" then parents  of wombtwin survivors will not be inclined to let their children know - and we know that it is best for them to be told - they know inwardly anyway, but it is reassuring to know you are not crazy.

3 Like all horror moviemakers he has muddled up all kinds of trigger ideas like ghosts, hauntings,  the experiments on Jews etc into a mishmash that doesnt work

4 Like all Hollywood film makers, he is trying to be too clever and make money out of a highly sensitive issue that is accompanied by a whole lot of personal pain. In his insensitivity he has managed to insult wombtwin survivors around the world, and there are at least 600,000,000 of them. I dont suppose any of them will watch this film.
