Adult Babies

The Adult Babies that is, in case you were wondering. Now the movie itself had the title "Attack of the Adult Babies" when it played at Frightfest, but just calling it Adult Babies makes more sense. Well if you can put this movie and sense in one sentence. That's actually almost impossible and very untrue/false. And despite any "moral" message this supposedly is giving us, there is not many merits to get from it.

Unless you set the bar really low and like practical effects that is. Especially the latter are the one thing that made me give it an extra point and not go for the lowest score. Having said all that, the filmmaker clearly wanted to make something people have fun with and there is one punch line (delivered by a Human Centipede "alumni") that made me laugh. So even if you don't like the movie like me, don't be mean to the people who made this. They are nice people and they just do what they like most, no matter how we perceive it. I'm saying this because some people attacked (verbally/written comments) the filmmakers personally and that is not cool at all.

So to sum up, some will like this, because it's brainless "fun" plus gore and won't mind the low quality in general. For everyone else: You should know after the trailer or after a couple of minutes ... don't put yourself through it

Crude, rude and full of poop...this is not a film for the faint of heart or those with a tummy bug! Forget the plot about cabals and the Illuminati, just go with it, as a suburban housewife and her children infiltrate a facility housing adult babies who are turning into pigs...yeah, pigs! Loads of in-jokes ("I've come to get you, Barbara") and insane visuals give this film a reason to be watched. It is a straight to cult status movie, reminding me a lot of Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste". The gore is great and the screenplay twisted as hell. I loved this film and recommend it to anyone who enjoys their entertainment truly grotesque and hysterical.

This film by all accounts is ridiculously dumb but the writers & directors know this and they stay on course from beginning to the end. When it first starts the videography along with the music sets the tone and this is an independent film so I am always on guard for the first 15 mins. Not knowing if I'll make it through watching the whole film but this movie grabs you early on and keeps pace tremendously. It sort of reminded me of a 2017 film called 'US and Them' if you haven't seen that you should check it out, But the reason their similar is because of a good storyline disguising a message. The acting was also superb in a weird uncomfortable way.

My qualm with this movie is the ending after the retro cartoon Gumby looking scene which I have to say was a great touch to the film but after that a few things happen at the end that could of been explained a little better. But all in all I think this film is definitely underrated I give this a good movie rating at 7 and I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Sexy, Funny, Weird, Gory flicks this will become a hidden jewel to those who get a chance to see it.

Adult Babies tries way too hard to push the boundaries of shock and horror into the realms of farce. It does however succeed in moments, but as a whole the film is quite flawed. It seems desperate in its attempt to become a cult classic - and this its downfall - rather than be driven by a strong narrative that actually has some significant impact its just a series of badly-strung, cheap jokes that are mashed together.

Despite this, there are momentary glimpses of potential, and the plot, if nothing else, is fairly original.

If you look past the shock value you won't find much there - but if you take it with a grain of salt and look at it with a lighthearted glance you might get a few laughs over the sheer insanity it entails.

Whilst certainly *not* a film for the whole family to enjoy I'm sure some people out there will find it appealing. (To each their own).

3 Stars - *Just Plain Bad*

If I travel 40 years back and take this movie with me, there must be something fresh. Poor direction, acting, scripting, VFx etc. Makes it really boring to watch. A very non realistic gore scenes confuse you as if it was intend to be a comedy or real slasher. Avoidable movie.
