Bad Movie Night #9 - BABIES

1. The Baby

With all the babies being born into the Bad Movie Club these days, it only made sense to do a Baby themed bad movie night. And what better way to start off a baby themed night than with the movie 'The Baby'? It doesn't get much weirder than 'The Baby'. A social worker goes to visit a family and discovers a man in his 20's with the mental capacity and physical limitations of an infant. He is kept in diapers and a crib and regularly molested by his sisters. His mom throws a party for him and several adults show up and nobody seems perturbed by the fact that he is an overgrown man-baby in one of the most bizarre families ever. Oh well, I guess it was the 70's... The ending was pretty hilarious. Overall I couldn't really call 'The Baby' a bad movie, just... different. I was transfixed. It was impossible to take my eyes off the screen, and I think everyone else felt about the same. It was a good movie that left me feeling dirty afterwards.



2. Won Ton Baby

We've sunk to new lows with 'Won Ton Baby'. A guy who may or may not have been Elvis has sex with a prostitute and she gives birth to a baby girl. Several years later, her daughter (with the absolute worst fake Chinese accent ever) seems pregnant, but is really just carrying her parasitic twin brother. The twin hatches and begins killing and having sex with everything it can. That is pretty much the gist of it. It actually sounds better than it was. It had some funny parts but most of all it was just dumb. I think it went over pretty well with the Bad Movie Club though, and it was definitely worthy of a bad movie night!


3. The Suckling

The final baby-themed movie of the evening was 'The Suckling'. A coat-hanger abortion in a brothel gets flushed down the toilet and meets up with some radioactive waste and I'm pretty sure you can guess what happens next. The fetus becomes a monster and the placenta becomes a thick, gooey wall that envelops the brothel and holds everyone inside hostage while the monster-fetus goes on a killing spree. Well, it may have been a better movie if it was more of a killing spree. What actually happened was a whole lot of arguing while the creepy little creature just looked menacingly around and scared a few people. It wasn't what most people would call a good movie, but then that is why we have bad movie nights!
