Paul Andrews Baby Blood is set in France & starts at a circus where a young woman named Yanka (Emmanuelle Escourrou) works as a performer, after taking delivery of a new animal earlier in the day the circus people find all the animals dead in their cages & set out to find what killed them. Meanwhile Yanka is in bed sleeping as an ancient creature slithers it's way into her caravan, onto her bed & crawls inside her taking the route between her legs to do so. It seems that this creature is millions of years old & just wants to be born, it also speaks perfect English. It is is able to communicate with mother to be Yanka & forces her to feed it, the only problem is that it needs fresh human blood so Yanka has to kill to satisfy it's appetite. As the creature grow's inside her the time for it to be born edges closer...Also released under the title The Evil Within this French production was co-written & directed by Alain Robak & I personally thought it was terrible, Baby Blood has a pretty good reputation as an extreme French horror gore film but I thought it was terrible & just can't understand why it has any sort of following at all. The script is just plain baffling & surreal, nothing that happens has any real logic or sense behind it & the character's are awful cardboard cutouts with zero personality. Maybe it just wasn't conventional enough for me, maybe some want a totally surreal & bizarre film but I don't. I want a film with a story that makes at least some sort of sense, some character's who actually resemble human beings & I want to be entertained. Baby Blood lacked any of those core requirements for me, thus I thought it was terrible & couldn't wait until it was over. I sit through all of it, I did give it a chance but ultimately I just didn't like it. At 85 minutes long Baby Blood feels longer & feels like they were making it up as they were going along, there's no logic or narrative that I could make out & not even the gory bits saved this one.Available in a cut & uncut version in both English dubbed & English subtitled version I watched the uncut version with the English dubbed soundtrack but I doubt it would have mattered which version I saw as I still wouldn't have liked it. I keep hearing about how gory this is but I didn't think it was particularly bloody, there's some blood splatter, a decapitated head & a few dead bodies but not too much else that I can remember. There's a bit of nudity as well if that's your thing. I can't say I thought the film was atmospheric or scary or suspenseful to be honest, I just thought it was rather plain & forgettable.The acting isn't great & Emmanuelle Escourrou is an unusual choice for the lead with her gaping teeth, I can't say I was impressed by her. Apparently Gary Oldman voices the baby in the English version but maybe that's just a rumour.Baby Blood is a film that I didn't like at all, maybe there is a market for such a pointless & surreal film as this but it's certainly not me, I couldn't in good heart recommend it at all to anyone.

ottard Yeah, I found this movie better than expected. It really has a bizarre twist to it. Its "gross out" science fiction premise: ugly worms crawling inside of people, is really a front for a slasher movie. I thought, perhaps, I might not even be able to watch it. And again, the "gross out" images were minimal. And perhaps a later anthologist will put it an offshoot "vampire" film category. With the films female protagonist, Escourrou, drinking so much blood. (By the way, to some other reviewers: Escourrou is incredibly beautiful and hot) So the movie is really overlapping several genres. It, of course, has its origins in "Alien", and "It's Alive", and other films as well. And watching the dubbed version, really harks back to the seventies horror films. Primarily, Italian.

trashgang Oh yes, this one made me think of Angel Above The Devil Below, were an vagina is possessed by the devil and starts talking to the girl. Here we gave a fetus talking to the girl. The storyline is a bit weak but the gore is really intact, the red stuff is almost at all times on screen. The movie surely is a low budget one, the clothes are terrible and the non gore effects are a big laugh like the carcrash and the bus exploding. Anyway, it's a french one and almost better than the overacted German gore. The acting is also terrible except for Emmanuelle Escourrou. She makes the movie. Alain Robak, the director gives his voice to the fetus. The monster himself is also well done, so it's sure that they didn't spend money except on the gore. And for the creeps out there, yes there is frontal nudity. It's an easy one to catch but be sure to buy the French version, that's the only uncut version, a bid bad is that the dubbing in English is not that clear. Anyway, enjoyable flick, second part is coming in 2009 called Lady Blood.

callanvass although sometimes dull this is a fairly watchable time with loads of gore but it is so stupd that its watchable it is truly bizzare it has an inane plot weak acting evreybody is ugly its worth a watch but mot much more then that
