Baby Oopsie

Okokok hear me out. The story is meh, the characters could use some work, everything could use a little tlc but overall i surprisingly kinda liked it. I know full moon hasnt been really doing well with films as of late but this seems like a pretty good improvement. The cast is pretty decent, not great but not really that bad either. Although some of the scenes were cringy and very laughable, its weirdly cringy enough to be likeable. This seems like a cheap budget horror movie from around the 90s-00's but in a good way. It feels very vintage and like it would've came back around that time period.

'Baby Oopsie' does its best to be a tongue-in-cheek with its horror, making it clear from the outset that this isn't a film meant to be taken too seriously. Its lighthearted tone, while can be kind of funny sometimes, results in a lack of genuine scares or impactful gore.

It's about a lonely woman who repairs dolls for her internet podcast, but gets more than she bargained for when she receives a - pretty damn hideous - broken doll in the mail. Naturally, death and destruction follows.

If you're in the mood for low-brow horror fun, it's harmless enough, but don't expect too much. The film suffers from a script that doesn't deliver enough clever or sharp humor to make it genuinely funny, nor does it lean into horror elements enough to deliver any real horrific thrills. The effects are on the cheaper side and the titular killer doll doesn't even make its full appearance until about half an hour in, leaving the early portion feeling slow.

Despite these shortcomings, 'Baby Oopsie' has a few nice touches (plus I quite liked its ending!) and so does have a certain charm. It's not a standout in the genre, but it's serviceable if you stumble across it while browsing a streaming service. For those with tempered expectations, it's worth a casual watch.

When I saw a new Demonic Toys film was coming out, I had very low expectations. Full Moon hasn't had a decent movie in years, with the dreadful Evil Bong series and even their bread maker series, Puppet Master has had several interminable entries as of late.

Baby Oopsie Chapter 1 seems then to be the start of a new chapter for the company. Immediately viewers will notice production value has improved, with the film having multiple locations and a decent sized cast - something sorely lacking from the single-set talk-fests of the previous batch of Full Moon movies (or the recycled footage assemblies he's been dumping out).

The next positive comes with the doll design. While still a far cry from the 90's mechanical designs, it looks wayyy better than the cheap designs they've been giving us.

While Baby Oopsie is a long way away from being an actually good film, it is a huge step forward for the company. Full Moon fans will find enough here to enjoy. But if your killer doll genre experience stops with Chucky or Annabelle, it's best to leave Baby Oopsie in the box.

PS when will that Puppet Master videogame ever be released??

Full Moon movies are generally hit or miss -- mostly miss, so I wasn't expecting much. But this film isn't all that bad.

It's got a bit of Chucky in it, but the story line is different.

It's about a down trodden nut-bag named Sybil who collects and is obsessed with dolls. She has some sort of local show where she acts out scene with the dolls. For some unexplained reason, she gets mailed a messed up doll head which she refurbishes.

Somewhere along the line the doll gets possessed and all hell breaks loose.

Suddenly people who were mean to the morbidly obese doll collector are turning up dead at the hands of Baby Oopsie.

The movie works because the acting is pretty decent and it's infused with humor throughout. The characters are all kinda kookie in a John Waters sort of way.

Baby Oopsie (2021) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline for this picture follows an obese doll collector who is verbally abused by her mom and coworkers and physically abused by kids in the neighborhood occasionally. One day she gets a unique doll that she takes apart, fixes and then it springs to life. The doll presses it's owner to stick up for herself and helps her in the process.

This movie is directed by William Butler (Demonic Toys 2) and stars Libbie Higgins (Weedjies: Halloweed Night), Marilyn Bass (Bernadette) and Lynne Acton McPherson (Mayberry Man).

The storyline for this is actually pretty creative and well throughout. Higgins was solid as the main character. The scenes with her visions to start the movie were great. Baby Oopsie was a bit annoying, especially the laugh, but definitely had some good kill and vomit scenes. These movies aren't great but are definitely entertaining and worth a viewing. I would score this a 6/10 and strongly recommend it.
