I dont know what to say about this one. The storyline was strange and all over the place. Bill Mosesly was a whacko nut in this, but the scenes with him in it didnt really fit in with the movie. However the wild film did have a creepy and unsettling vibe to it.

Very poorly acted, the couple was annoying me from the first 5 seconds. Carried on watching just to see what happens.

Do not recommend.

Don't believe the other reviews, it's a waste of time!

WTF did I just watch, one of the worst films I've ever seen. In fact I turned it off before the end as it was just terrible, honestly don't waste your time.

A tongue in cheek horror starring Scout Taylor Compton. When Sid Haig is in it you know it's going to be crazy. Some of the editing and directing is bad and the (actual) porn stars' moment is pointless but overall an ok film.

This was GREAT fun... expected nothing but got an entertaining 90 mins! Storyline is ridiculous, script was tongue in cheek... We were both rooting for Cynthia... totally funny, totally camp and utterly crap... highly recommend...

I loved this movie! As the saying goes, "For those who like this sort of thing, it's just the sort of thing they like." And I am that sort. The story was fresh and clever, and very timely. The twist in the relationship between husband and wife came from left field -- I had no idea is was coming and it hit like a funny bomb. The suspense of the baby (?!?!) rampaging had me laughing and at the edge of my seat. I totally recommend Cynthia as a great pizza night for frats, gals, as well as couples!!!!

With a killer cast of horror alums Scout Taylor-Compton, Sid Haig and Bill Moseley, Cynthia is both funny and chilling. The baby monster is a frightening combination of pathos and putrid. Directors Kenny Gage and Devon Downs really nailed the tension and pace. It is very professionally shot with great camera work and effects by Mario Torres, who did an amazing job. And contrary to those who want to trash the acting here, they are all veterans who are at the top of their craft. I mean come on!... Sid Haig and Bill Moseley from The Devils Rejects! And Robert LaSardo from like, everything, and Scout Taylor-Compton who is amazing and starred in Rob Zombie's Halloween. I think the low scores are from trolls who clearly did not watch the film or are just haters. One note, I wouldn't recommend this film or pregnant women, lol. Yikes!

The story is sweet and relatable, you love the main characters, the acting talent is top notch, you have amazing cameos from some true horror legends, gorgeous cinematography, powerful suspense throughout, quality special effects, and in the end it's a relatable story about a young mother's love. How could this be better?

I am going to give this a 9 out of 10. First of all I am a fan of Scout Taylor Compton, Sid Haig, & Bill Moseley. I'm not a fan of babies or children I admit so I didn't expect to care for this. However, I loved it. Right from the beginning to the very end I was hooked. It was much better than I was expecting. There's not too much gushy baby crap to bog it down. It really cuts to the punch of the comedy and horror value fairly nicely and well paced. Scout Taylor Compton was a great lead and this is one of her best new roles where she had a character who was a little more fleshed out than she has had in a little while now in horror and it was great to see her walk the tight rope of comedy satire and horror. It's a genre hybrid she is a natural in. I loved the satire of the script, it gave you those dry bitter snicker kind of giggles where you know the writer's sense of humor is vivid and wild yet somewhat restrained so that it's compelling right off the bat. The acting was much better than I was expecting, with not too many weak links. You could tell this was a passion project and not just bad actors reading lines. It was a blessing that they mostly used practical creature effects for the title character, Cynthia. They did a lot of things right here. It is in the family of horror comedy that you seldom see anymore. It is FOR fans of horror comedy. It is not confused with it's genre, and I'm glad the film was self aware enough to walk that tight line. It reminded me a bit of films in the vein of Basket Case (1982) It's Alive (1974), Bad Milo (2013). I wish there had been more gore. There was certainly gore to be had, but had there been more over the top, it would have bounced this film to a whole new level in the genre. All in all a treat for fans of horror comedy or fans of the acting/directing trio involved. The end was a bit shaky and loses a little bit of that control it has in the beginning but not enough to damper the experience. I just wish the music during the cynthia bedroom scene was more audible and over the top in either an overly jokey terrifying way or a silly quirky way. And the Cynthia sound effects needed a bit more character, screeches or growls to make it all more intense. In other words i was expecting the end to become over the top madness, gore etc like the first half of the film was headed and it was slightly underwhelming instead, though still enjoyable. It would be a shame if the horror community doesn't grab a hold of this and give it the recognition it deserves, so that is why I felt compelled to write a review. I actually hope there's a sequel lol! And if the director or writer is reading this, take it all over the top. Let Cynthia evolve in to the agile fierce killing machine she deserves to be. Let this be more over the top like Peter Jackson's Dead Alive baby scenes. Lol. You got this.

When I found out that Corpsy (Robert Rhine) was making a horror film, I was excited. Cynthia is pretty much everything I was expecting, and then some. It was funny, it was gory, it was disgusting, it was awesome. And then there's Cynthia. What a sweet baby. Lol. As another reviewer said, pregnant women should not watch this movie. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is Bill Moseley's. OMG. When you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about. It was great to see him, Sid Haig and James Karen.

Cynthia was a pleasant surprise in a current trend of horror movies wanting to recreate Stranger Things era scenes,Along comes Cynthia who is a breath of fresh air! Based in modern day Cynthia creates suspense and comedy all rolled into one fantastic film.The film keeps you guessing for a bit about what Cynthia will look like but when you finally meet her you are hard pressed not to look at her as a villian character but instead fall for her and feel emotion for her misunderstood life she was given.I wish we had a few more scenes with Cynthia I can always hope for part 2 for more involvement with horrors new poster girl !

Great, fun movie combining humor and gore. It's rare in this age of PC culture to find new movies like this with an amusing yet raunchy tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. Very well done and brilliantly directed by Devon and Kenny.

Cynthia is an awesome creature feature horror comedy with amazing special effects written and produced by Girls and Corpses founder and president, Robert Rhine... It's funny, violent and very entertaining... I really loved watching our Horror Hero Captain Spaulding himself, the late, great Sid Haig playing a detective... Also really cool to see Robert Lasardo and a sweet cameo from Horror Icon Bill Moseley... It also features Scout Taylor-Compton, Lynn Lowry and Robert Rhine... If you're looking for some really entertaining horror with great horror stars and legends in it, this one is it... This is also from the directors who brought you Anarchy Parlor back in 2015 with Robert Lasardo...

Well done Great actors Great writer Excellent DP Smart story Pop corn movie It's bloody but what u expect it's horror i enjoyed it 👍

When real-life horrors are in the news every day, how do you make horror entertaining? You make it funny. With a great cast and excellent cinematography, the story is full of suspense and, unexpected twists. It's actually poignant when it shows the depth of its crazed mom's compulsion to have children and her devotion to her offspring. Great job on the effects and baby creature, too.

Great cast, tech aspects, script. All around fun film, freaky and funny. Love the Devils Rejects cast duo of Sid Haig and Bill Moseley. Any time those guys are in a film I want to watch. And this is Sid Haig's last film. It's deeper than most horror movies in that it has do with something and that is the obsession of women to get pregnant at all costs. Should we all procreate? I'm not sure the answer buy Cynthia shows what can go wrong... In the most horrific way!

A friend told me that I had to watch this movie. I was really pleasantly surprised and I watched the film with a group of friends who really dug it, too. A fun popcorn movie with both laughs and scares. I am a big Devil's Rejects FAn and it was great to see Bill Moseley and Sid Haig together again in these roles. Sid plays a detective amazingly. I don't want to spoil Moseley's crazy part, but it's worth renting this for that scene alone. And James Karen (Return of the Living Dead) has a small cameo. I found out this was his last role. Scout Taylor Compton shows her acting chops. Highly recommended!!

I loved all of the elements of this film. There was no point in time that I wasn't entertained by the new details that emerged in the storyline. I was definitely eager to see how the plot developed and what the end of the movie could be.

Cynthia is an over the top, gory movie that is funny as well. It's not particularly scary, but if you like blood, guts and gross this movie is for you. Plus it has horror legends Bill Moseley and Sig Haig...what more could you want? Seriously, if you are a fan of all things horror you won't be disappointed.

Very entertaining movie. Highly recommended for fans of horror and comedy.

Funny, a little sad and some gore mixed in. Enjoyed this film as it was an entertaining watch. Big Sid Haig fan and Bill Moseley makes an appearance as well. Sid Haig does fantastic in this movie as a detective (his first time playing as one); his performance is great in anything he does. This is certainly not a movie to be taken too seriously and should considered just a fun watch. Rebecca Marshall is entertaining as the sister and the scenes she has with Sid Haig are hilarious. I recommend this to anyone in the mood for a funny horror film.
