An ultimately pointless remake with no great and believable story and script, it was just too over the top to be taken seriously and to be pictured as chilling. Bijou Phillips did a pretty good job for having nothing to work with and I thought it had horrible cgi, it was almost cartoonish and it made me roll my eyes of the stupidity that was on display here, it was a weak effort to me. Nothing about this was novel and this should be the end of the killer babie movies, there is nothing else left to do and it is usually never effective so stop here and it also had a weak ending. Now I can see why this movie took soo long to be released it's because it's not that good and it's not alive, it's dead on arrival. I do give it one thing though and it's that they picked one creepy @ss house to film it at but it's wasted here. Overall don't waste your time on this worthless remake. NOT RECOMMENDED!
This movie is not very good. Like others have said, its everywhere, the story doesn't hold up and its not very scary. Pretend this movie is a harmful drug and "just say no".
Abysmal dreck which completely misses every opportunity to generate shocks or have fun with the notion of a killer baby. The acting is dreadful, with most of the actors appearing to speak their lines phonetically and with little comprehension of their meaning. Even Phillips fails to carry her weight here - a shame for those of us who dig her in most things. Among the film's other shortcomings are a ludicrous location (Why do the Davies live in a tourist trap recreation of the Alamo, apparently located somewhere in eastern Europe?), an utter absence of logic (How oblivious would a young father have to be to not notice his newborn son getting out of his crib to kill?), the inexplicable absence of the baby throughout (In the original, not showing the little bugger made sense, because they were building toward a reveal. In this one, Daniel is supposed to look normal, cherubic, even "beautiful". We only know this, though, because the actors keep saying so; he's only shown in "human form" once, early on.), and the unnecessary presence of a superfluous character in a wheelchair (Why would you trap a wheelchair-bound character in a house with a flesh-eating monster and NEVER have that character killed or even directly threatened?). I really wanted this remake to work, but the filmmakers clearly didn't know how to handle the material - odd, since Larry Cohen is listed as co-writer. Even the cautionary aspect (involving so-called "abortion pills") feels tacked on, and thus falls flat. A terrible disappointment.
It was enjoyable for a DTV horror remake. Bijou Phillips gave the best performance, easily. Some of the other acting wasn't so good. Decent screenplay, some decent violence and good production values. I enjoyed it for what it was.
There wasn't anything special about the film. Not sure if it was filmed in the U.S. but didn't seem so. Haven't seen the original so I can't compare but all I can say is, though they show some blood and hint that the baby is a monster, we barely get to see it, maybe for like 0.3 seconds. Not worth your time at all. Would like to rate it ZERO skulls but I can't, so you get the idea of how bad it is.
While the acting isn't terrible this movie just is not that great, and fails to entertain. Most of the kills were off screen and the gore was just "ok" but there wasn't enough. The fillm is watchable, just a bit dull.
Sooooo I just watched this remake and....Hummmmmm pretty odd to say the least.I have waited for this movie for what 2 years now? I a bit disappointed. Kinda skips around to much, no real story to it. The gore scenes were nice and the baby is kinda wicked. The acting wasnt very good. They didnt seem believable. I guess all and all it was alright. Not great, just ok. Watch it for the gore, dont expect a good story or concusion.
i actualy realy liked this movie . i found it realy entertaining and funny. a killer baby? it made no sence but also made lots of sence.this is a great addition to my dvd collection
