Development
[edit]The script for The Unborn 2 was written by Daniella Purcell, based on an earlier draft by Rob Kerchner. The role of director was initially offered to Rodman Flender and Brooke Adams, the director and star of the first film, respectively. The spot was eventually taken by Rick Jacobson due to his work with Mike Elliott and Roger Corman on Blackbelt, Full Contact, and Dragon Fire. Gabe Bartalos was brought on to create the mutated children.[1]
Release
[edit]The Unborn 2 was released on home video in July 1994.[2] Per The Schlock Pit, there are unsubstantiated rumors that Roger Corman screened the film in "a Florida fleapit a fortnight prior to its stateside cassette bow."[1]
Reception
[edit]In 2011, author John Kenneth Muir wrote that, "This action-packed sequel to The Unborn has some real momentum going for it, but not a whole lot more", concluding, "One thing's for sure: The Unborn 2 isn't boring. Silly and dopey at times, yes, but certainly not boring."[3] The Schlock Pit reviewed the film, noting that the film had diminishing returns but that "there’s a lot to like about this lively, Rick Jacobson-helmed sequel."[1]
