Baby Blood

This wasn’t bad at all. The beginning in the circus is a bit bland, but things get going after some time and the climax, where we can see the monsters in all their glory, is actually very good. The story won’t surprise anyone, it’s another of the endless variations of a person infected by a parasite, which of course doesn’t matter, Baby Blood is about blood and diversity of murders. PS: The synopsis mentions the young, beautiful Yanka, something I can certainly not agree with, she’s very unattractive. (13.06.2010)

The French production Baby Blood is over thirty years old, even though it certainly has not lost any of its ability to impress the viewer. It took me quite a long time to get around to watching it, and I think this is one of those horror movies, at least European horror movies, that should be preserved for posterity. There is definitely something good about this pleasantly surprising movie based on a decent concept. (20.01.2020)

Baby Blood was a nicely surprising French film. It is a pure horror road movie that takes the audience on a journey through the unusual pregnancy of the main protagonist and hurtles along not pausing for breath. This stomach-churning body horror does not hold back, its gory scenes are quite impressive and its rather absurd black humor (especially in the last act of the movie) works as well. It slightly reminded me of Frank Henenlotter's work. This is a must for true fans of quality horror B-movies. In addition, I had not even considered beforehand how convenient it was to put this on Netflix as a double feature with Baxter since the bull terrier Baxter himself has a small cameo here.
