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.

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.

Okokok hear me out. The story is meh, the characters could use some work, everything could use a little tlc but overall i surprisingly kinda liked it. I know full moon hasnt been really doing well with films as of late but this seems like a pretty good improvement. The cast is pretty decent, not great but not really that bad either. Although some of the scenes were cringy and very laughable, its weirdly cringy enough to be likeable. This seems like a cheap budget horror movie from around the 90s-00's but in a good way. It feels very vintage and like it would've came back around that time period.

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.

When I saw a new Demonic Toys film was coming out, I had very low expectations. Full Moon hasn't had a decent movie in years, with the dreadful Evil Bong series and even their bread maker series, Puppet Master has had several interminable entries as of late.

Baby Oopsie Chapter 1 seems then to be the start of a new chapter for the company. Immediately viewers will notice production value has improved, with the film having multiple locations and a decent sized cast - something sorely lacking from the single-set talk-fests of the previous batch of Full Moon movies (or the recycled footage assemblies he's been dumping out).

The next positive comes with the doll design. While still a far cry from the 90's mechanical designs, it looks wayyy better than the cheap designs they've been giving us.

While Baby Oopsie is a long way away from being an actually good film, it is a huge step forward for the company. Full Moon fans will find enough here to enjoy. But if your killer doll genre experience stops with Chucky or Annabelle, it's best to leave Baby Oopsie in the box.

PS when will that Puppet Master videogame ever be released??
