Losing my movie review virginity...Ouch! by Sasha Slaughter

So this week, Zombie Zane and I are trying something new. We both watched "The baby's room" and we're both going to do a movie review on it. I've never done a movie review, and Zombie Zane, yeah, he's done a few. So here it goes.

The movie is foreign, Mexican I think. It starts with two little boys playing in and abandoned house. One of the boys finds what appears to be a radio and takes it upstairs where he finds a puddle on the floor. He leans down to look into the puddle, and he gets pulled into it by someone or something (not really sure of the significance of the puddle or the radio) Some time later a married couple (Sonia and Juan) and their baby move into the same house and start renovating it. They are given baby monitors by relatives and while they are in bed they begin to hear strange noises and voices coming from the monitors. Juan decides to buy newer monitors and shortly after, he begins seeing things, such as a man in a suit sitting beside his sons crib.

Juan freaks out one night after seeing the man in the suit again and his wife gets scared and takes their baby and leaves. And then comes the creepy white haired lady, who was one of the children in the beginnging of the movie. She carries around the radio that the little boy was playing with while he was in the house. Again, not too sure of the significance of her either. I don't get it! Anyway, the lady tells him to leave the house, that it would be for his own good. Later that night he turns on the baby monitor and catches a glimpse of what looks like someone naked (only a brief butt shot though) crawling on the floor, slightly bloody. He freaks out and goes to talk to Domingo, who works at the same paper that he does.

Juan asks him about the possibility of cameras being able to capture things that the eye can't see. Domingo then goes on and on about a cat in a box and a particle and parallel worlds...again, I didn't get it really. I think that by using the baby monitor with the camera he maybe opened some parallel world and he doesn't know how to stop it...I think. He buys more monitors and sets them up in every room to try and capture the man in the suit. He follows the man into the bathroom where he sees his wife in the bathtub, and what appears to be himself, standing over her with a screwdriver as he stabs her in neck with it.

His wife comes back home and he tries to explain it to her and she gets scared when he starts to act weird and wants to leave the house immediately. After a brief scuffle, Sonia stabs Juan in the hand to keep him from taking the baby and Juan knocks her out. Sonia wakes up and the police tell her that her baby is fine. Juan is standing by the ambulance with the baby when Sonia notices that there isn't a cut on his hand where she stabbed him with a knife. She then starts to panic and yells that that isn't Juan. The end!! Ughh!

I'm giving the movie an overall score of 1.5. You kind of had to think about what was going on while you were watching it, which was kind of distracting. It didn't start to get even kind of good until almost the end. There wasn't much nudity (1 brief boob and butt shot, but nakedness isn't everything now is it?) not really much blood (just when the wife got stabbed in the neck, and some blood smeared on the bathroom wall) there was one murder (in the parallel world, if it counts) and really not much gore. Gore, blood, and murder is what makes a horror movie great! But overall, I was pretty disappointed in this movie. It kind of gets a major BOOO!!! So thats that.
