AWWWWWWWW SHIIIIIIIT!! Zombie Zane here coming to ya live and direct from the Seven-Six-One-Oh-Seven. Hope all is well in your corner(s) of the world. And before I forget, I wanna wish everyone a very happy and safe Friday 13th. Make sure and watch something scary today, yes.
Anyway, speaking of something scary, this week my partner in crime (the talented Sasha Slaughter) and I decided to view the movie, "THE BABY’S ROOM." Ever seen it? No? Then kick back for a second and let me enlighten you.
"THE BABY’S ROOM" is a 2006 Spanish horror film directed by Alex de la Iglesia. It’s available on Netflix and runs just about 80mins. It’s also one of the "6 Films to Keep You Awake." Now I haven’t seen any of the other five, but if those films are like this one, then you can bet your ass that I won’t.
So this film starts out with a young couple and a baby moving into this huge house. And like all theses kinda movies, everything seems ok at first. But when the couple hear voices coming out of the baby monitor, that’s when the shit hits the fan. As the plot unfolds, the couple come to realize that their new home is a portal to a parallel world full of murder!! Sounds exciting huh? Not so much.
This film was more like a ‘thinking man’s’ horror movie. Now when I watch a horror movie, I don’t wanna think. I just wanna see gore, nudity, and scary shit. This movie delivered none of the above. I mean there were some eerie scenes, but nothing to write home about. To me, this film was a cross between ‘The Ring’ and ‘The Grudge.’ And I gotta tell ya, those type of movies are played out. At least for me anyway. Needless to say, I was really disappointed in this movie. Live and learn I guess. So, let me break it down a lil
further...
BODY COUNT - 0 - I’m putting a zero here even though there was a killing but it was within the parallel world so you’ll have to watch and draw your own conclusion.
SEVERINGS - 0 - Gracias por nada!!
SEX SCENES - 0 - Another nada
NUDITY NUMBER - 0.5 out of 5 - Nothing here but a bit of tit.
GORE SCORE - 0 out of 5 - No blood, no guts a big fat BOO!
MY SCORE - 1.75 out of 5 - Not even a 2. Honestly a waste of 80mins.
Well, there you go. My take on the film, "THE BABY’S ROOM." Until next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am out.
