Attack of the Adult Babies

A fine grotesque movie - for certain not for the mainstream audience. Lot's of dark and bad taste humor, some splatter and gore and on top a well done production and well working cast.

What else!? If you like the horror unusual, this one may be made for you - if sexy nurses, rich men in diapers and slashing people (including a heist gone wild) sound attractive to you. Remembers me somewhat a little of Eat the Rich from 1987.

Crude, rude and full of poop...this is not a film for the faint of heart or those with a tummy bug! Forget the plot about cabals and the Illuminati, just go with it, as a suburban housewife and her children infiltrate a facility housing adult babies who are turning into pigs...yeah, pigs! Loads of in-jokes ("I've come to get you, Barbara") and insane visuals give this film a reason to be watched. It is a straight to cult status movie, reminding me a lot of Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste". The gore is great and the screenplay twisted as hell. I loved this film and recommend it to anyone who enjoys their entertainment truly grotesque and hysterical.

Biggest load of trash to hit the screen..absolutely pointless and an insult to everything you could possibly think of in relation to talent...people should be arrested for wasting such time and money to quite obviously take the. P**S out of its viewers by creating crap...its even worse to think that an actual respecting company would appreciate thier advertising time destroyed by the amount of people who will turn over from whichever channell would be so foolish to air..as for the fact that respected actors have even allowed thier names to be printed in relation only makes me think that a serious mentally constraing bout of influenza must have compromised thier sanity enough to prevent them from seeing how disgustingly dusturbing the whole scenario was.. As for the creator ..id hate to see the skeletons in thier closet if this is an extension of thier imagination..this is truely an insult no only to british media but also the British viewing public..truely a career destroying creation !!!

The Adult Babies that is, in case you were wondering. Now the movie itself had the title "Attack of the Adult Babies" when it played at Frightfest, but just calling it Adult Babies makes more sense. Well if you can put this movie and sense in one sentence. That's actually almost impossible and very untrue/false. And despite any "moral" message this supposedly is giving us, there is not many merits to get from it.

Unless you set the bar really low and like practical effects that is. Especially the latter are the one thing that made me give it an extra point and not go for the lowest score. Having said all that, the filmmaker clearly wanted to make something people have fun with and there is one punch line (delivered by a Human Centipede "alumni") that made me laugh. So even if you don't like the movie like me, don't be mean to the people who made this. They are nice people and they just do what they like most, no matter how we perceive it. I'm saying this because some people attacked (verbally/written comments) the filmmakers personally and that is not cool at all.

So to sum up, some will like this, because it's brainless "fun" plus gore and won't mind the low quality in general. For everyone else: You should know after the trailer or after a couple of minutes ... don't put yourself through it

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
