Odette Yustman (Cloverfield, Transformers) is having visions of an evil looking child and the message “Jumby wants to be born now”. Our tortured heroine goes looking for answers and her grandmother tells her of a Jewish legend and of the nefarious Nazis and their experiments on twins. Odette then seeks the help of Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight, The Fifth Element) who is a rabbi with a horn for exorcism.
Jewish folklore and Nazi experimentation deserve better than this unimaginative, unexciting, illogical expedition in to the supernatural. The only positive is the hotness of Odette, and the filmmakers must realise this because they keep showing her in her underwear in an attempt to distract us from the banality of the film. It’s not enough.
