666: The Demon Child

The acting was horrible, the music was awful and the demon child was ridiculous. This movie should never have been released. I can't believe it ever made it to the video stores. We watched about 20-30 minutes and couldn't take it anymore. It is absolutely awful. They show the motor home moving on a road and then they show the same road with the same motor home, but, they are supposed to be farther away. Where they got these supposed actors at, I'll never know and don't want to. This movie must have cost about $500.00 to produce. The producer should be brought up on some kind of criminal charges. I can't believe I rented this terrible movie. Don't waste your time.

Before you read my comments, please try to understand that I try to see the good in all horror films. "Elves", for instance, was at least funny. I own a DVD of "The Stuff". I'm not one to write off a film just because it has a low budget or a silly premise. However, I have never, in all my years of rabid horror film consumption, seen a movie as bad as "666: The Demon Child". Not only do we have the typical low-budget issues (lousy acting, poorly constructed creature effects, et cetera), we have a host of technical issues of which the production crew really should be ashamed. Through much of the film, the dialogue is inaudible. What can be heard is disjointed, non-sensical, and downright awful. The editing, lighting and story are similarly piteous. I cannot make my point clear enough: I have _never_ seen a film as bad as this. Not "House of the Dead", not "Strangeland", not "Silent Night, Deadly Night 4"... not even "Werewolf". Please spare yourself the agony. You would be better served to sniff glue for an hour and a half.

Ah, the return of the Monster Baby Movie! Thank God somebody out there is thinking outside the box. In this camcorder retelling of "It's Alive", a bunch of people are terrorized on a sound stage by a really ferocious hand puppet. There are a lot of scenes that take place in the Winnebago, which is supposed to be moving I think. I've seen some bad Poor Man's Process shots, but this was ridiculous. Couldn't they have at least gotten someone to shake the camper back and forth? Oh, the humanity. Personally, I think they should have gone the extra distance and had a scene where someone changes the Devil Baby's diaper. Now that would be horrifying! Diabolical Devil Diapers!

Try being one of the actors in it. I played Daryl and thank god I died first. It was being shot all through the night in Arizona (100+ degrees at night) in August. I must agree, the acting was horrible for the most part. The characters that did well I thought were Karen and Steve. Other than that, the rest of us were horrible, including myself. I never did get paid for my role and it is a good thing, otherwise I would be compelled to give the money back.

Having said that and basically apologizing to those who spent money to rent it, it was great experience and I had the opportunity to work with great people. Cary the director had very little budget for this film. His concept was great, but he had no technology and very little time to complete. Just about every night we heard, "If I don't get this scene now, we are going to have to bag it!". A lot of scenes were 1 takes and it showed. I looked like George the Monkey driving an RV and some of the lines were so mechanical it wasn't close to being real.

To be honest, it was great fun to make but painful to watch. Cary is a really nice guy, but I hope he gets more support and better actors in the future. It is kinda fun to know that I was in probably the worst movie of all time, so I guess I will be famous for that. Watch just for the novelty of it, but don't watch to compare it to real horror films or to be "Spooked". Enjoy! Daryl

I started watching the opening credits, and could barely believe it was a real movie, that I had found at Blockbuster. How on Earth did it get on the shelves! It looks like something from a high school video production class, even then, put together at the last minute. There was nothing memorable about this movie except that it is one I will only recommend to people I loathe. The sound was turned up as high as it would go on my TV, but I was *still* straining to hear the script. Which was horrible, too, anyway. It was just so unbelievable and stupid. All the characters were idiots! And they were supposed to be archeology students, for crying out loud! The saddest part was the Demon Child itself: it looks like an old, used Cabbage Patch doll with a hole in it's forehead to shoot out "blood." It doesn't even move on it's own, and so it "attacks" people only when the "victim" holds it to their own neck and pretends to thrash around with it for a bit. Feel free to watch it only if you have NOTHING ELSE TO DO and money you could burn, but for some reason you would rather spend it renting this atrocity. You have been warned!
