Real estate agent John Dante has a problem. He's stuck with a house he can't sell. Despite his best efforts, he can't seem to overcome the house's past and the macabre tales that precede it in this haunting anthology. In the first story, THE MORNING AFTER, a group of friends wake up from the party of a lifetime to find a nightmare in the form of the worst bug invasion any homeowner has ever seen. Then there's Freddie Cooper and his band, FREDDIE AND THE GOBLINS; a tale of how Freddie's band mates try to kick him out and get caught up in the young singer's growing psychosis. With his hopes of selling the house fading, John is horrified to hear the story of Robbie, a young veteran of the war in Iraq, who returns home to live with his father Brad in FATHER LAND. Something isn't right, though, as Robbie's dark secret slowly bubbles to the surface. As the house's dark past comes to life, John becomes weary and is convinced the house is cursed and unsellable.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I was excited to see that not only was this was on Frightpix but Debbie Rochon was in it. unfortunately my excitement quickly dwindled. I did not like this at all. I expected much better. Needless to say I didn't bother finishing it, and quickly chucked it from my Instant Queue. The part where she gives birth and then is holding the baby was about where I ended it. The characters who played the cops were just horrific and not in a good way. Boo. I was hoping for so much. Watch at your own risk. one at all. The gore was weak.The acting was just awful. the dialog wasn't clever. The characters were interesting at first, but they, much like the storyline, quickly went downhill. It could've been so much more. I had so much hope but when I watched it on Frightpix I was very disappointed. Don't waste your time.

Think blonde preggie chick who speaks with a Chinese accent.Think think cops eating poop soup.Think the original Leatherface as a doctor. Think evil baby twin with an Afro and an umbilical cord that levitates.Think laff out loud funny.Be prepared to be grossed out but unable to take your eyes off the screen.You have been warned.

I can't see why this is voted so highly. I have seen far better films sitting at a 2 or 3 (or even lower) on here, but this has a 6!? Impossible. By anyone's standards this is a bad movie, and the worst part is it's not even funny bad.The movie starts with Madam Won Ton seducing an Elvis impersonator, and getting pregnant by him. We cut to "the present" to the Asian restaurant owned and ran by the Won Ton family. Lily, or Little Wing, appears to be pregnant and as such causes a lot of problems. Two detectives come in trying to bust Madam Won Ton for running a brothel, but one ends up liking the Madam and offers to go on a date. Madam Won Ton takes Little Wing to the hospital, where it is revealed that she is not pregnant but has a fully grown parasitic twin. And then the movie goes full retard. They remove the baby and it looks so laughable. It's like a mix between a Cabbage Patch Kid and Franklin from Arrested Development. The Won Ton Baby kills a rat and masturbates to scat porn all while the most obnoxious, desperately trying to be funny voice over goes on and on. There's maybe two times the voice over was funny and even then it was nothing more than a chuckle. The Won Ton's leave the baby at the restaurant for the night, and it proceeds to kill one of the workers. And then continues to rape one drunk chick, kill one of the chefs while he's having pathetic sex, all the while the Won Ton children are sitting around smoking nothing (they're meant to be smoking weed, but the bong clearly has nothing in it!) They sit around acting retarded, even beyond stoned, while Madam Won Ton is on a date with Detective Duke, and the Won Ton baby kills. The two stoned Won Tons hear the baby kill and try to stop it. Madam Won Ton breaks the news to Lily (Little Wing) that her father was not Chinese, but was in fact an Elvis impersonator. She then goes on to tell her that a law passed that stopped everything carrying the King's image became outlawed and drove her father into poverty. Madam Won Ton soon after kills the baby with a vacuum cleaner and the movie ends with another woman giving birth to a similar, if not the same, creature.This movie tried so hard to be funny, but just failed on all accounts. The humor is all super low brow, poop jokes, terrible racist jokes, etc. It's humor for children that think making funny (see: stupid) noises and voices and saying random, or inappropriate things equals funny. There's a giggle here or a chuckle there, but nothing that is really funny. The effects aren't good either, there's minimal gore and it looks stupid and fake. The umbilical cord that whips around was pretty decent, I'll give them that. It's too bad the baby looks so f-ing awful. The characters have no charisma or charm, even Debbie Rochon, who I normally love, is bland here. Would not recommend.

Vampires, zombies, aliens, Babylonian gods who enjoy possessing innocent American girls, you recognize them. They're all staples of the horror genre. However, at the New York Horror Film Festival, Suzi Lorraine and James Morgart brought the world a new monster to fear, babies in the horror/comedy, "Won Ton Baby." During the seventies, Madam Won Ton (Debbie Rochon) was the head of an exclusive brothel that spent a night with "the King." During their "fling" both ingested some pills with unusual side effects. Thirty years later, Madam Won Ton runs a successful Chinese restaurant with her two children, Ben (Abe Tran) and her older daughter Lily or "Little Wing" (Suzi Lorraine). Lily has an unusually large stomach. After collapsing during a dinner service, the Doctor (Gunnar Hansen of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" fame) reveals that Lily has had a parasitic twin living in her stomach her whole life. The Doctor was able to remove it, giving the Won Tons a bizarre looking baby with a living umbilical cord, sexual appetite, and a taste for blood. The baby, named Won Ton, is the star of the movie. The only way to truly describe Won Ton is Baby Sinclair raised by Freddy Krueger and the Alien Queen. Won Ton enjoys eating rats, taking advantage of passed out women, his brother's porn collection, and eating people. Forgoing expensive, texture less CGI director James Morgart uses a creepy silicon puppet designed by Paul Mafuz and Ingrid Okola, who recently won her second Emmy for her work on "All My Children." Considering the silicon baby was built from scratch, it's easy to see why Ms. Okola won the Emmy. The baby has a creepy stare and it' swirling umbilical cord is gooey and disgusting, as it should be. Yet he's kind of cute…in a monstrous way. Bringing a heart to the film is Suzi's portrayal of the baby's twin/older sister Lily. Lily has lived a bizarre life. In addition to her medical condition, she speaks like a stereotypical Asian because she's been raised to believe she's the daughter of an Asian businessman. Yet, Lily has an innocence that makes you care about her journey. In addition to playing Lily, "Won Ton Baby's" story was the brainchild (no pun intended) of Suzi, after seeing a story about the medical condition, "fetus in fetu", which literally means fetus within a fetus. Suzi also cites horror comedies like "Evil Dead" as inspiration for the tone of the film. Another strong performance came from Debbie Rochon as Madame Won Ton. Madame Won Ton is strong, independent, woman who is trying to run her business and raise her children right. Unfortunately, her past keeps catching up with her, not only with Lily, but also persecution from Detective Bob "Bubba" O'Reilly (Nick Raio) who wants to shut her down, even though she's come clean. Still, Madame Won Ton's still got it and is not afraid to use it, wooing Bubba's partner Detective Hardin (Lou Martini Jr.) to her cause and inspiring her workers to prepare for Bubba a very special soup. "Won Ton Baby" is a funny, bloody, sexy, over the top, horror comedy that is reminiscent of the days of "grindhouse" theater. Director James Morgart really inspired his cast and crew to make a movie that was above and beyond all expectations. If you're a fan of "Evil Dead" or horror movies in general you must see "Won Ton Baby." It is well directed, well acted and definitely more original than any of the horror movies you'll find in the mainstream.
