Baby Oopsie

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.

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.

So it turns out that after all these decades Full Moon are still turning out their micro-budget creature features and BABY OOPSIE is their latest franchise, linked to the DEMONIC TOYS series by the presence of a Satan-possessed doll that goes around murdering people. The best thing you can say about this awful film is that it makes Full Moon's earlier movies of the 1990s look like classics by comparison. The look of the doll is sufficiently creepy and the FX are okay too, but the script is the most monotonous ever and the characters completely stupid. Seriously, this makes earlier films like DOLLMAN look like masterpieces of nuance and creative design.

Baby Oopsie (2021) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline for this picture follows an obese doll collector who is verbally abused by her mom and coworkers and physically abused by kids in the neighborhood occasionally. One day she gets a unique doll that she takes apart, fixes and then it springs to life. The doll presses it's owner to stick up for herself and helps her in the process.

This movie is directed by William Butler (Demonic Toys 2) and stars Libbie Higgins (Weedjies: Halloweed Night), Marilyn Bass (Bernadette) and Lynne Acton McPherson (Mayberry Man).

The storyline for this is actually pretty creative and well throughout. Higgins was solid as the main character. The scenes with her visions to start the movie were great. Baby Oopsie was a bit annoying, especially the laugh, but definitely had some good kill and vomit scenes. These movies aren't great but are definitely entertaining and worth a viewing. I would score this a 6/10 and strongly recommend it.

'Baby Oopsie' does its best to be a tongue-in-cheek with its horror, making it clear from the outset that this isn't a film meant to be taken too seriously. Its lighthearted tone, while can be kind of funny sometimes, results in a lack of genuine scares or impactful gore.

It's about a lonely woman who repairs dolls for her internet podcast, but gets more than she bargained for when she receives a - pretty damn hideous - broken doll in the mail. Naturally, death and destruction follows.

If you're in the mood for low-brow horror fun, it's harmless enough, but don't expect too much. The film suffers from a script that doesn't deliver enough clever or sharp humor to make it genuinely funny, nor does it lean into horror elements enough to deliver any real horrific thrills. The effects are on the cheaper side and the titular killer doll doesn't even make its full appearance until about half an hour in, leaving the early portion feeling slow.

Despite these shortcomings, 'Baby Oopsie' has a few nice touches (plus I quite liked its ending!) and so does have a certain charm. It's not a standout in the genre, but it's serviceable if you stumble across it while browsing a streaming service. For those with tempered expectations, it's worth a casual watch.
