O Bebê do Mal

Theo (David Wayman) and his pregnant girlfriend Rose (Carina Birrell) travel to an isolated camping area by van to spend the weekend. During the night, they are waken by Officer Thwaites (Cameron Jack) that warns the couple that they are in a dangerous area and suggests them to move to a nearby camping. Rose is disturbed with the baby and is haunted by visions and dreadful nightmares. She wants to get rid of the baby but Theo wants to have his son. Along the weekend, Rose has a breakdown with tragic consequences.

"Wandering Rose" is a tedious B-movie with three characters only where nothing happens. The task of writing a summary is very difficult to be accomplished since there is nothing to tell about. Maybe the most frightening moment is when Officer Thwaites knocks on the van's door. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil: "O Bebê do Mal" (The Baby from Evil")

It's a good thing that the movie was so dull or I would not have had the chance to fully grow to hate Rose's character. Annoying, whiny, dismissive and selfish. I suppose that indicates good acting, that I had such a strong reaction to her?

The soundtrack was interesting and had some odd choices, but it fit with the moments. The acting was fair, but very poor on the part of Officer Thwaites. His odd behavior and strange, creepy way of speaking and looking at them had me thinking he would be a "bad guy". Nope - just weird, apparently.

The plot was weak and never reached an adequate conclusion in my view. The action scenes were completely random, without enough back story as to why she would act that way. Just crazy? Lame.

It passed a (very brief) amount of time while I was working, but not at all worth seeking out or re-watching.

This film really confuses me, not in the films content or anything like that. In the rating. To read the reviews the films makers have committed some sort of atrocity, but this is far from the case.

Little Devil (Demon Baby/Wandering Rose) is a competently made, great indie film, it's shot beautifully, has nice performances, and does not try EVER to be something it's not. Yes at times it's a little slow as the creators battle with trying to achieve suspense, but beyond that it's all very very good.

I understand the movies budget was about £10,000 and trust me, that's a great return on a small investment.

The film tells a story of a couple on retreat for a holiday, but things are not all as they seem, lots of sub-plots occur and the film is a true mystery. The pay off may not be as strong as the build up, but still its a much better movie than other reviewers here make out.

It was soo bad I fell asleep while watching it. I didn't understand a single thing about it. It was supposed to be a horror movie, but it's more of an failed wannabe. The story wasn't even getting somewhere, why would she act like she still had the baby if she had the abortion? Made 0 sense. It was messy, low budget. And don't even get me started on the acting, it's like they took the worst actors they could find. The facial expression were either too exaggerated or not even there when they had to. The plot was... nonexistent at this point. The discription made it sound cool, but it really was a disappoinment. I just wasted an hour of my life.

Okay, so we have a 70-80-minute movie. And the script and whole story would only do for a 15-minute one. What should we do? Let's see. Yes, let's have the characters drive, walk and canoe most of the time. And let us not forget to add some horror score even if what is on screen is only a tree or a flower - just so that our viewers would not forget this is a horror movie.

Well, the only horrific element in this crapastrophic movie is the acting. And, yes, it was that horrific. I watched halfway through this movie with my nephew, and we couldn't get past the 40-minute mark - since, by then, there was nothing but characters walking, driving and talking. There was not a single interesting aspect of this snooze fest. There is no story, let alone a backstory, no scares and no chemistry between the two leads.

To add insult to injury, whenever the female protagonist saw the 'ghost' - which was definitely nothing more than a 5-minute job done on Paintbrush - she acts like she hadn't seen a darn thing. Hogwash! We actually got to see that she saw the ghost in full view, once for more than a few seconds. Does the director really want to treat his viewers as if they were dumb? Does he think we are as shallow as the abomination that is the script - or lack thereof - he is working with? Does he not know what horror flicks are made of?

There are no words in the English language and not enough space in the universe to state just how terrible a movie this is. I am sure watching a vegetable rotting or paint drying would be much more fun, and a far better investment of your time, than seeing this.
