Baby Oopsie

Plot

A doll enthusiast restores a baby doll that springs to life and embarks on a murder spree.

Cast

Made by Full Moon veteran William Butler and starring a bunch of folks I'm unfamiliar with.

Verdict

Full Moon movies have a certain charm about them, however they tend to come under one of two headings, namely enjoyable for the novelty or just plain awful! Recently they've consistently been the latter so going into this Demonic Toys spinoff I assumed the worst especially as the Jack Attack spinoff was dreadful! Seeing that Baby Oopsie got a trilogy as well, I was surprised yet curious to see how this universe would be contributed to.

The plot, isn't actually terrible and that surprised me. The poor quality literally everything else however really didn't. If you're expecting comedy, expect it to be camp. If you're expecting great kills, just don't.

Baby Oopsie is a bit of mess and yet somehow someway it's still managed to be better than I expected it to be. It's dumb, it's goofy, it's very Full Moon and that's not entirely a bad thing. And on to the other 2 I suppose!

Rants

The review section here frustrates the life out of me, taste is subjective but come on! A host of 1/10's, admitting they turned the movie off after minutes but behaving like they still have a write to review the movie. The same people behaving as if such movies shouldn't exist, believing all movies should be 200 million blockbusters. And then on the flipside you have your offensively daft 10/10 reviews suggesting it's the best movie ever, positively legendary acting and brilliant visual effects.

The Good

Better than you'd expect overall

The Bad

Mostly annoying characters Senselessly crass in places As tacky and dumb as you'd expect.

When you talk about demonic toys, one does not expect the film to be something worthy at a plot level or something similar like puppet master, but even so the original was entertaining, however none of the derived continuations were up to its level, and this film with the rude doll is the same but is more creative than things like the sequel that has nothing of the charm of the original, here at least it is not a generic slayer, its special effects are quite passable for the limited budget they had, not to mention that it has a correct rhythm that does not become annoying at least, I recommend if you like it when the production company really tries hard to give a passable and decent delivery, that they would like to do it with a bigger budget in its golden age when the big producers did not abandon it, a delivery that is entertaining at several times.

Yes, this is really dumb and looks like it was made for $10 dollars with people who just lived around the area it was filmed. But more than likely you're not going into a modern Full Moon flick looking for high quality. That a side for a flick about a killer toy baby doll cussing and spiting one-liners its entertaining enough, as are the cheapo kills.

Full Moon movies are generally hit or miss -- mostly miss, so I wasn't expecting much. But this film isn't all that bad.

It's got a bit of Chucky in it, but the story line is different.

It's about a down trodden nut-bag named Sybil who collects and is obsessed with dolls. She has some sort of local show where she acts out scene with the dolls. For some unexplained reason, she gets mailed a messed up doll head which she refurbishes.

Somewhere along the line the doll gets possessed and all hell breaks loose.

Suddenly people who were mean to the morbidly obese doll collector are turning up dead at the hands of Baby Oopsie.

The movie works because the acting is pretty decent and it's infused with humor throughout. The characters are all kinda kookie in a John Waters sort of way.

A woman, who gets picked on by everyone in her life, escapes reality by expressing her passion for dolls in a popular doll-oriented youtube series.

She often fantasizes about reaping vengeance on those who wrong her...but never takes action on those fantasies.

However, she get's a guardian angel in the form of a hideous doll- Baby Oopsie- which she restores, and gives a new body.

Sent to her by one of her fans, she keeps incorporating new mechanics into the doll, upon the arrival of each new package, from her mysterious benefactor.

Thus bringing Baby Oopsie to life...though, perhaps, with a few behavioural problems...

This is the first in a series of short films, released by full moon features, and produced by doll-centric horror director Charles Band.

The whole thing is made purposefully cheesy.

But that's part of it's allure.

The special effects are legitimately horrible...aside from the doll itself.

Plastic weapons; strawberry jam used as blood; and CGI so bad it's pretty clear they didn't even try.

So don't go in expecting a masterpiece or anything.

But prepare to be entertained.

Gets (much needed) bonus points for playing Subspecies on the TV.

4 out of 10.
