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.

Adult Babies tries way too hard to push the boundaries of shock and horror into the realms of farce. It does however succeed in moments, but as a whole the film is quite flawed. It seems desperate in its attempt to become a cult classic - and this its downfall - rather than be driven by a strong narrative that actually has some significant impact its just a series of badly-strung, cheap jokes that are mashed together.

Despite this, there are momentary glimpses of potential, and the plot, if nothing else, is fairly original.

If you look past the shock value you won't find much there - but if you take it with a grain of salt and look at it with a lighthearted glance you might get a few laughs over the sheer insanity it entails.

Whilst certainly *not* a film for the whole family to enjoy I'm sure some people out there will find it appealing. (To each their own).

3 Stars - *Just Plain Bad*

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.

This movie isn't for everyone, it's not for most people actually. It's absurd, silly, disgusting, bizarre, and...political? Kind of?

Basically this movie is about the wealthy elite who essentially rule the world and how it came to be. The ruling class makes a deal with politicians that involves regressing adults into the mental state of babies cared for by a team of sexy nurses and a pair of dictator like management. It's disgusting old men in diapers goo-goo-ing and ga-ga-ing, drinking milk from absurdly sized bottles, and pooping themselves. Along the way a family finds themselves involved and tasked with infiltrating the establishment where this is going on. There's some eye gouging, poison, chainsaws, some shootings, another stabbing, and pooping. A lot of it at the end. There's also a claymation sequence that comes out of nowhere.

Is it GOOD? Not really in a traditional sense. Is it good for a laugh and a bit of gross political commentary? Surprisingly yes. It's not even all that low budget, the effects are quite good, it's just freaking weird. But I was entertained and that's why it gets a 5.
