This was terribly boring...
Right, well the cover/poster for this 2025 horror movie titled "The Baby in the Basket" definitely was interesting enough to catch my attention.
Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to watching it, but it being a horror movie was sufficient to make me opt to spend 100 minutes on watching it.
But talk about a swing and a miss from directors Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka.
The storyline in the movie was insanely boring and uneventful, and that made for an abysmal viewing experience. I was expecting some horror here, and the only horror that transpired on the screen was how utterly boring and pointless the narrative was. So writers Tom Jolliffe and Nathan Shepka completely failed to conjure up something enjoyable for the directors to bring to the screen.
I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And while the script and narrative was utterly boring and gave the performers precious little to work with, then the acting performances were actually fair enough.
The best thing about "The Baby in the Basket" was the movie's cover/poster, sad but true.
If you enjoy horror movies, spare yourself the anguish and don't waste your time, money or effort on this dumpster fire of a movie. Some of us literally suffered through this, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.
My rating of this 2025 movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
