Attack of the Adult Babies

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.

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.

A fine grotesque movie - for certain not for the mainstream audience. Lot's of dark and bad taste humor, some splatter and gore and on top a well done production and well working cast.

What else!? If you like the horror unusual, this one may be made for you - if sexy nurses, rich men in diapers and slashing people (including a heist gone wild) sound attractive to you. Remembers me somewhat a little of Eat the Rich from 1987.

The idea sounded very interesting and creative, so there was enough to make one want to see it. The cover looked quite eerie. So saw 'Adult Babies' with genuine interest and wanting to at least sort of like it even if it had many problems.

Seeing it, well 'Adult Babies' certainly did have many problems and it is pretty much exactly the same feelings had when watching a few other films recently. It has its moments and good points certainly, but just underwhelmed even having prepared myself to not expect an awful lot. Not a terrible film or without redeeming qualities, and there is far worse out there of the genre and overall. Liked the concept for 'Adult Babies' somewhat, the execution was generally lacking.

'Adult Babies' at least didn't insult my intelligence. It at least didn't make me angry watching it. Despite giving it a relatively low score and negative review, it even didn't make me regret watching it altogether, there are imminently worse films out there.

It starts off quite well and there are a few amusing and unsettling moments throughout.

Did think it didn't look too bad for a film not made on a high budget, the music set the tone reasonably well and some of the acting is above average.

However, not all the actors are entirely at ease and the characters are not easy to endear to with some irrational ways of thinking going on. The script is very stilted on the most part, while the ridiculousness goes well overboard a lot of the time that it becomes tiresomely dumb and the elements intended to be creepy were spoiled by random gratuity and predictability and bordered on being uncomfortably weird in an excessive sense.

Tension and suspense is next to none after a promising start, the latter stages become very vague and lack explanation and there are parts that come out of nowhere and add absolutely nothing.

Summing up, lacklustre but could have been worse. 4/10 Bethany Cox

....says it all really!!! A crude, fun, gruesome, vulgar rollercoaster of a movie that I would definitely recommend to fans of obscure British horror. Just when you think you couldn't be shocked anymore, then comes the claymation scene, which was my favourite part! Bit of a disappointing ending, but the build up more than made up for that. Who would've thought that Paddy from Emmerdald had such a twisted sense of humour?! Well done to all those involved, will love to see what Joanne and Dominic come up with in the future.
