You won't be disappointed!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Jack (Rob Corddry) and Vanessa (Leslie Bibb) who is very pregnant with twins moves into a Louisiana haunted house. F'resnel (Keegan Michael Key) lives in their crawl space. Meanwhile there is an umbrella killing happening in the Vatican as two Guido Sarducci wannabes head to New Orleans.The film is a generic spoof of horror films, lacking the good satire we have come to expect from the "Scary Movie" series. Much of the humor is overly slapstick while other humor is just downright stupid. "Hell Baby" is classified as a comedy horror without horror and needing quality comedy. The film had some good lines and a few good scenes, but unfortunately they couldn't maintain it. The police officers in the movie were a lame attempt at humor. The baby doesn't enter the film until it is nearly over and is insignificant to the production.The film will work as a low brow rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb, brief sex, full frontal nudity (Riki Lindhome)
This is quite possibly the best movie ranked under 5.0 on IMDb. Never reviewed here or anything in my life and I've been using IMDb since it started. I felt compelled to communicate that this movie should be at minimum a 6.0. I'm giving it an honest 7 for being hilarious and an instant horror comedy classic.
As soon as I was done with this little gem, I stroke it off my list of movies I would want in my collection. It is over promise and under deliver. If you are looking for some good cracks, this is not for you. If you are looking for a few laughs, this movie is not for you. If you are a fan of the director / actors, you better be die hard not to be disappointed. The plot never really develops. There are basically no themes under the story and there are no good effects. It is like a bad drag queen show in a has-been club. I enjoy many genres and there are quite a few b-grade movies that I have reviewed as good entertainment in the past. This was really just a total waste of budged that could have been better spent. Nothing really to say about the cinematography, the sets or anything. It just drags on. It is not even particularly bad. It really is a void of nothing. A good student exercise maybe to teach the camera team how to operate their equipment - at best.
I grew up with parodies, stuff that was making fun of other movies through references rather than vulgarity or silliness. I tried to enjoy many of the parodies of today and I couldn't, because they were not meant to be real movies, they didn't have acting, but just an ugly caricature of the art.I am happy to report that Hell Baby is a really fun parody of possession movies! It references a lot of them, but not in a direct recreation of scenes or using toilet humor, instead by taking the parody and putting it into a well acted film. All actors involved played really well, but Rob Corddry was the highlight of the film. Also Keegan-Michael Key added a lot to the comedy of the situation.The plot is that a family awaiting twins move into a run down house in a bad neighborhood. The house is possessed and soon lovely Leslie Bibb, the pregnant mother, is as well. The demolition of horror clichés soon follows.Bottom line: I am not really into comedies and I don't easily laugh at them. Parodies have to be even better than a normal comedy, because I've seen the movies they are making fun of and they have to be at least funnier than those - which is a hard thing to do for some of the horror films around. And yet I really enjoyed Hell Baby and I recommend it to just about everyone. Well done!
