The Demon's Baby

[The Burgomaster]

THE DEMON'S BABY is the title of a trashy dvd that I picked up from Video Mayhem of Florida. It is a Chinese import, subtitled in English. (Widescreen, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround!)

Here's the story: a wealthy Chinese man finds out that all four of his concubines have become pregnant at the same time. The problem is, they are all carrying tiny demons in their wombs. The women's stomachs burst open like venus flytraps. Long tentacles come out, grab animals and humans, pull them into the women's open stomachs where sharp-toothed demon babies await to bite their heads off. An "exorcist" with a sword shows up to fight the little terrors. In addition to the demon fetuses, some vampires show up.

Interesting facts:

* You can neutralize a vampire by stuffing bean curd in its mouth.
* Women impregnated with demon fetuses grow vampire fangs.
* If a vampire is hit with a coffin lid, its arm will fall off.

Best scenes in the movie:

* Two guys kicking a fetus around like a soccer ball, as the try to get it back into its mothers stomach.
* The "exorcist," confronting the demons and their moms, spins around in the air like a cast member from CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, while fireworks explode around him.

What this movie reminds me of:
 
* The bloody little demons look a lot like the creature that pops out of the woman's stomach at the end of HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP.

yeah i managed to waste £10 of good hard cash on this piece of junk. and then an hour and a half of my precious time. not only does the whole film make very little sense or have any real flow or continuity, the effects are poor, the acting is laughable and the dialogue (ok it's translated, but f**k it...) is abysmal. i mean was this film storyboarded in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER? things seem to just happen for little or no reason, the whole morgue scene for instance... erm - what the hell was that supposed to be (funny yes, pointless and irrelevant... yeah that too). the whole 'characters appearing and disappearing with no real reason' happens here too - a common trait of cheapo eastern movies. by the time this movie was in its final reel i was about ready to slice my own belly in two with the remnants of the dvd after i had finished using it to massacre the guy who hyped the film on ebay.
