How do you go from Hannah Montana to giving birth do a demon child for Satan? That’s what Alison Brie has done. In “Born,” she is the pawn in an attempt by one of hell’s demons (Kane Hodder) to regain his soul. Essentially, if he can get his sister pregnant with a demon child, have her kill six people, and then present the child to Satan, he believes he will be freed from the thirteenth level of hell, where he enjoys employment as a torturer.

The first part of his deal works, and soon Mary Elizabeth (Brie) is pregnant, having gained 15 pounds during the first night. She is, it is verified, a virgin, and so the church sends a priest to spy on her. Gradually, her fetus grows (as we see repeatedly on ultrasound), and Mary Elizabeth begins to claim the victims her fetus requires. Meanwhile, two blond twins (Julie Costello and Shawnie Costello wander about silently, wearing silver gowns in the first half of the movie and nothing in the second half. No, their presence is never really explained.

“Born” is a lackluster addition to the long list of movies featuring demon children (and other things that shouldn’t come out of humans), a list that includes The Omen and sequels, It’s Alive and sequels, Begotten, First Born, Rosemary’s Baby, Masters of Horror - Pro-Life, and many others. I’d recommend going with one of the films in this list.
