Just what I expected

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

Seeking a human host, a murderous parasite that is obsessed with humanity attaches itself to a leopard to enter the human world and be birthed by a human female. When the leopard is brought to Le Cirque de Lohman, the parasite kills the cougar and infests the curvaceous acrobat Yanka - or Bianca - (Emmanuelle Escourrou), who was impregnated earlier by her abusive ass of a husband. After finally reaching her limit of abuse, Yanka gathers her belongings and leaves the circus. A month after she flees her abused life, she begins to hear her 'foetus' talking to her, telling her to kill in its name and feed it the blood of the victims.Over a decade-and-a-half before 'À l'intérieur,' France brought us another pregnancy horror: 'Baby Blood'. This is a strange film to say the least. Not just the crazy subject matter, but the overall feel and style of the film, mostly due to the collapsing seriousness of the film. It starts out rather seriously and I thought I was being set up for a cool, violent, and intense horror flick. However, the mood progresses into a rather strange, almost 'Peter Jackson'-esquire, horror comedy. The direction is nothing all that new or original, but it's enough to get the job done. The story progresses smoothly and only lags a couple times. There's gore and violence galore, almost all performed by the lovably psychotic Yanka. And the gore is done very well. Not too ridiculously over-the-top, but still enough to keep our bloodlust satisfied. Also, on the other half of horror fan's needs. . . Yanka shows off her curves more than a few times. In the infamous words of Ulla Inga Hansen-Bensen-Yanson-Tallen-Hallen-Svaden-Swanson: "When you've got it, flaunt it. Show your assets, let them know you're proud." In its own odd way, 'Baby Blood' is rather charming. . . quirky and strange, in that 'psycho parasite posing as an unborn baby' kinda way.Final verdict: 7/10. It's very enjoyable, and I recommend it solely as a spectacle, if nothing else.Note: The sequel, entitled 'Lady Blood,' is due out this year.-AP3-

An ancient evil parasitic creature impregnates sexy circus performer Yanka (an incredibly wild and fearless performance by the strikingly gorgeous and voluptuous brunette knockout Emmanuelle Escourrou) and forces the poor tormented young lass to embark on a cross country killing spree in which the lovely lady drinks the blood of her victims in order to feed the foul and wicked fetus growing inside of her. Better still, the nasty little nipper even talks (an uncredited Gary Oldman does the baby's monstrous voice in the dubbed American version!). Director/co-screenwriter Alain Robak gleefully pours on the ghastly graphic gore by the gloriously disgusting and excessive bucketful: throats are slashed open, heads get bashed in, one dude messily explodes and the red stuff spurts all over the place with joyously appalling abandon. Moreover, Robak relates the exceptionally insane and tasteless premise with a hilariously sick sense of hysterically grotesque black-as-midnight humor (the single funniest moment occurs when the baby admonishes Yanka for trying to smoke while pregnant!). Since the guys in the film are a bunch of hateful and repulsive leering lecherous creeps, the movie takes on a singularly warped and surprising psycho feminist slant. Why, we even got a shockingly substantial amount of genuinely touching pathos to be relished in the peculiar love/hate relationship that develops between Yanka and the bestial bloodthirsty baby. Carlos Acciari's funky, throbbing, percussive score, Bernard Dechet's bright, slick, agile cinematography, and the comely Escourrou's occasional eye-popping nude scenes further enhance the delectably deranged and depraved fun. A splendidly strange and startling one-of-a-kind stunner.

French cinema isn't exactly known for its many horror masterpieces (the exceptions that prove this rule are "Les Yeux Sans Visage" and the more recent "Haute Tension") but, as much as in every other country, there are always some gore-loving genre fanatics that sooner or later direct their own independent cult gem. Alain Robak clearly is such an enthusiast filmmaker and his "Baby Blood" is a hugely entertaining and cheerful splatterfest, despite the poor and inept screenplay. The relatively unknown but impressively voluptuous Emmanuelle Escourrou (what's in a name) stars as the unhappy fiancée of a circus artist who gets impregnated by a parasite that burst out a newly imported cheetah. The fetus growing inside Yanka is pure evil and demands her to kill men so that it can feed on their blood. This results in some of the most over-the-top bloody and sadistic massacres ever shot on film, with cut off heads, slit throats and many outrageous knife-attacks. Of course, this exaggerated amount of bloodshed makes it all blackly comical and "Baby Blood" therefore shouldn't be taken too seriously. This isn't the fist horror film handling about ferocious fetuses/infants (there's also "It's Alive", "I don't want to be Born" and even the premise of "Rosemary's Baby" is remotely similar) but "Baby Blood" is much more creative and tongue-in-cheek than anything you've ever seen before. The camera-work is quite nifty and there are several cameos of eminent Frenchmen, like Jacques Audiard (director of "Read My Lips") and Alain Chabat (who played Caesar in "Asterix"). The script is very man-unfriendly, which is quite a new approach for exploitation! Nearly every male is presented as a weak and imbecile creature whereas Yanka gets stronger with every murder she commits. "Baby Blood" is ingenious, somewhat bizarre horror fun.
