  weird but effective
  
  Baby Blood is a weird little French horror film but very effective.It starts out with a Creature from the Black Lagoon beginning explaining the origin of the monster from the beginning of the creation of earth.The creature enters the womb of a well built circus owners wife who is treated abusively by him. He is extremely possessive so when she disscovers she is mysterously pregnant she flees. The creature keeps talking to the host and you hear the conversations as she goes between thoughts of sucide and mothers love for the alien inside her body.The creature in the womb needs blood to survive so many bloody murders follow as the mother and creature head to the sea where the creature says he must live.There is nudity,much blood and a crazy story.everything modern horror fans will love.I highly recommend theis movie.

  Only watch the French language version on this dvd!
  
  It's sad how much the English version is edited. The only uncut version on this disk is the French version. You wouldn't know it by the English language version, but this is almost a horror comedy!

  Best killer baby movie ever!.
  
  I'll make this short. Baby Blood was this sleazy French exploitation flick that was also utterly bizarre and twisted and not to mention it was gory as hell! which I thought was pretty sweet. The story was about a circus performer named Yanka (Emmanuelle Escourrou) who works in the circus as part of the lion's tamer show, she is also the circus manager's girlfriend and he's not a very pleasant fellow. He abuses her both emotionally and physically and she wants nothing more than to leave her life. One day a leopard is delivered to the circus from Africa acting agitated and in turn agitating the other lions and tigers. That night the lion tamer finds the leopard completely eviscerated almost as if it burst from the inside out. Something in fact was nesting inside the leopard and the snake-looking thing decides to head towards Yanka's trailer. Asleep inside, Yanka doesn't realize that the creature is crawling its way under the bed sheets and up inside to her uterus. The next day Yanka realizes she is pregnant and decides to leave the circus, moving into a dilapidated building in the city. Whatever is growing inside of her can talk to her and tells her what to do. This baby needs blood and urges Yanka to kill to feed it, so basically the rest of the film shows us how Yanka kills all these people mostly men who she tries to seduce and then tries to head for the hospital for the gory and messy conclusion, she also develops a love/hate relationship with her 'child'. This was a very bloody and horrifying film with black comedy elements scattered throughout, Emmanuelle Escourrou was great as the conflicted Yanka who is determined to do whatever it takes for her baby to arrive and we do get to see this in the awesome and over the top bloody finale. This film definitely delivers the red stuff! Yanka violently dispatches men with throat slittings, stabbings, decapitations and oodles of blood splatter. There are some very memorable, very bloody scenes throughout the film including a paramedic guy who completely explodes in the back of an ambulance. Baby Blood was a little known gem of a horror film and I'm glad I got to see this cause it was worth it, highly recommended 4.5 out of 5 stars.

  How do you say "sleazy, splatter, cinema" in French? The answer is Baby Blood!
  
  Baby Blood (also known as The Evil Within) tells the story of a woman who is impregnated with an ancient entity... that craves blood for sustenance and eventual birth. This is a French horror film by director Alain Roback (unfortuantely never did anything else worth note) that Anchor Bay has deservingly exhumed and released featuring everything intact and completely uncut (kinda like what they did with the Deep Red DVD, some lost footage has subtitles). This is less a horror film than an exploitation picture but it provides more than enough uncomfortable (especially if you are female I would guess) and macabre scenes to keep you entertained. The scenes of gore and violence are extreme while remaining really well-done, almost like mixing the over the top stylings of Dead Alive with the surrealism of Cemetary Man (and who doesn't love both those movies?)in a really grimey pot. Yanka, our female lead spends a good portion of the first quarter of the film either scantilly clad or completely full-frontal nude and although not that attractive (Mike Strahan type gap in teeth, frizzy hair, black circles under eyes) I was in need of a cold shower by the time the credits rolled. All in all a very entertaining and original movie, that although may be nothing more than exploitative sleaze... remains really, really good exploitative sleaze!

  Amusingly gory.
  
  Baby Blood (Alain Robak, 1990)
  
  I started feeling a lot better about Baby Blood once I realized it was supposed to be a comedy. At least, I think it was supposed to be a comedy. They couldn't have intended some of those scenes seriously, could they?
  
  The film concerns Yanka (Emmanuelle Escourrou), a rather lovely young carny who becomes impregnated by, well, something. Dissatisfied with her carnival life, and under the command of the thing now growing inside her, she leaves the carnival and sets off on a killing spree to get blood to feed the creature.
  
  Yeah, that's pretty much the entire plot. Still, despite the thinness of the plot and the obvious fact that Robak treated this as pretty much a straight exploitation film (it's right up Joe Bob Briggs' alley), there's something under the hood here, whether it's the film's warped sense of humor (one of the best scenes involves Yanka hijacking a bloodmobile) or the fact that there's actually character development, or Robak's approach to stereotypes (Richard the womanizer could easily drive a film of his own), this didn't come off as just-another-blood-breasts-and-beasts flick. I grant you, it doesn't come off as a deathless piece of filmmaking, either, but it's not a mindless action-horror film, either. If you're a fan of the outer edges of the horror genre, this is definitely one you should consider hunting down. ***
