Try being one of the actors in it. I played Daryl and thank god I died first. It was being shot all through the night in Arizona (100+ degrees at night) in August. I must agree, the acting was horrible for the most part. The characters that did well I thought were Karen and Steve. Other than that, the rest of us were horrible, including myself. I never did get paid for my role and it is a good thing, otherwise I would be compelled to give the money back.

Having said that and basically apologizing to those who spent money to rent it, it was great experience and I had the opportunity to work with great people. Cary the director had very little budget for this film. His concept was great, but he had no technology and very little time to complete. Just about every night we heard, "If I don't get this scene now, we are going to have to bag it!". A lot of scenes were 1 takes and it showed. I looked like George the Monkey driving an RV and some of the lines were so mechanical it wasn't close to being real.

To be honest, it was great fun to make but painful to watch. Cary is a really nice guy, but I hope he gets more support and better actors in the future. It is kinda fun to know that I was in probably the worst movie of all time, so I guess I will be famous for that. Watch just for the novelty of it, but don't watch to compare it to real horror films or to be "Spooked". Enjoy! Daryl

I started watching the opening credits, and could barely believe it was a real movie, that I had found at Blockbuster. How on Earth did it get on the shelves! It looks like something from a high school video production class, even then, put together at the last minute. There was nothing memorable about this movie except that it is one I will only recommend to people I loathe. The sound was turned up as high as it would go on my TV, but I was *still* straining to hear the script. Which was horrible, too, anyway. It was just so unbelievable and stupid. All the characters were idiots! And they were supposed to be archeology students, for crying out loud! The saddest part was the Demon Child itself: it looks like an old, used Cabbage Patch doll with a hole in it's forehead to shoot out "blood." It doesn't even move on it's own, and so it "attacks" people only when the "victim" holds it to their own neck and pretends to thrash around with it for a bit. Feel free to watch it only if you have NOTHING ELSE TO DO and money you could burn, but for some reason you would rather spend it renting this atrocity. You have been warned!

The acting was horrible, the music was awful and the demon child was ridiculous. This movie should never have been released. I can't believe it ever made it to the video stores. We watched about 20-30 minutes and couldn't take it anymore. It is absolutely awful. They show the motor home moving on a road and then they show the same road with the same motor home, but, they are supposed to be farther away. Where they got these supposed actors at, I'll never know and don't want to. This movie must have cost about $500.00 to produce. The producer should be brought up on some kind of criminal charges. I can't believe I rented this terrible movie. Don't waste your time.

This movie was so awful I couldn't even finish it. I only got past the first 30 minutes, if even that. What was the plot? Some rubber looking baby eating people. Wow can we say, dumb as I can't even think of something because it was so stupid. I have no words to express how dumb this movie was and I recommend you just keep it on the shelf if you ever see it in stores or in movie rentals. It looked like a really bad mini movie that bored college kids make. The effects were so stupid, there were a lot of bloopers, the baby's eyes looked huge when they did close ups, and most of all, the characters had to hold the baby to them and act like they were having a seizure or something along those lines. For those of who voted this movie as an 8 out of 10 you either had to be drunk or high to watch it.

Ah, the return of the Monster Baby Movie! Thank God somebody out there is thinking outside the box. In this camcorder retelling of "It's Alive", a bunch of people are terrorized on a sound stage by a really ferocious hand puppet. There are a lot of scenes that take place in the Winnebago, which is supposed to be moving I think. I've seen some bad Poor Man's Process shots, but this was ridiculous. Couldn't they have at least gotten someone to shake the camper back and forth? Oh, the humanity. Personally, I think they should have gone the extra distance and had a scene where someone changes the Devil Baby's diaper. Now that would be horrifying! Diabolical Devil Diapers!

This movie is so bad I wish the demon child would have killed me and put me out of my misery of sitting through one of the worst movies I have seen in years. The Demon Child looks like one of those plastic baby dolls my sister had as a child and glued horns to it. Although those look fake to. Some movies are bad enough to be funny. This movies was just plain awful. The most redeeming quality of the film was win my DVD screen went blank. The sound of the Demon child was annoying and not at all scary. I think the only scary part of the movie was the bad acting. I found the movie in blockbuster under new movies so I thought it had to reach a certain quality. I was wrong. I thought the picture was a little grainy and the sound was low. They should have spent a little money and got a decent microphone.

When I started this movie, I was greeted with a long opening, & terrible acting. This movie was basically a low budget terrible film with many bloopers, a fake baby, & kitty-cat sound effects. This definitely makes my bottom ten horror movies ever. I rate my movies with Plot, acting, fitting its genre, and graphics. graphics and acting both get ones & plot gets a 2. Fitting it's genre gets a 7. That would round to a 3 but minus one point for it being bad, and the reason it doesn't get a one is because it had 1 small scare. The deaths were also incapable of actually being in the movie. Definitely leave this one on the shelf unless you're just watching it for the history, like me. But Im starting to regret picking up a movie with fake seizures all over it. Definitely avoid it.

Before you read my comments, please try to understand that I try to see the good in all horror films. "Elves", for instance, was at least funny. I own a DVD of "The Stuff". I'm not one to write off a film just because it has a low budget or a silly premise. However, I have never, in all my years of rabid horror film consumption, seen a movie as bad as "666: The Demon Child". Not only do we have the typical low-budget issues (lousy acting, poorly constructed creature effects, et cetera), we have a host of technical issues of which the production crew really should be ashamed. Through much of the film, the dialogue is inaudible. What can be heard is disjointed, non-sensical, and downright awful. The editing, lighting and story are similarly piteous. I cannot make my point clear enough: I have _never_ seen a film as bad as this. Not "House of the Dead", not "Strangeland", not "Silent Night, Deadly Night 4"... not even "Werewolf". Please spare yourself the agony. You would be better served to sniff glue for an hour and a half.

A little known fact: this movie was originally written as a sequel to Citizen Kane. The result is a movie so good that it deserves 11 stars. Haha! Just kidding! Oh boy, I'm funny.

This may be the most poorly produced film I've ever seen, and as a Troma fan, I like to think I'm very tolerant of low-budget films. There are some exciting action sequences, and the very end is kind of fun, but there is absolutely nothing original in the film, and what is borrowed is borrowed poorly. Imagine "The Hills Have Eyes" with an angry baby instead of a bunch of angry mutants, the DV treatment, and awful acting, ridiculous special effects...I'm tired of writing this comment. It's a really bad movie, I want my hour and a half back, etc etc etc.

The acting was not that bad. True, it was campy...but it was trying to be. The director could have done a better job of laying out the scenes and the background sound effects left much to be desired, but the lighting and the camera work enhanced the eeriness and suspense to the point that this film will be an ageless classic at Halloween. I thought the actors did an excellent job considering that the script was so shallow. The crew members obviously did their best with what they had to work with. It was obvious that conditions on the set were grueling, as this apparently was all shot on location. All in all, I'd say the actors and crew did the best job they could do and definitely made this movie worth buying.

I heard this was the worst movie ever, so naturally I HAD to see it. I love bad movies. Well, every bad movie except The Item. Okay, okay. This movie is really bad. The scenes on top of the camper with "smoke" or something blowing is hilarious, it looks like the camper is moving! Scenes are shown twice, and the baby...the baby MAKES the film. It is this rubber (!) baby with horns coming out of it's head, and as said before, the actors hold the baby to their neck and pretend to be getting eaten. The sounds the baby makes is classic...this really loud chewing noise and this...I don't even know what sound. The best scene is the shower scene by all means. Just...sooo funny. THe acting is purely awful. But really funny. Not sure which girl, the one who is second last to die, she cracked me up, very bad acting. It is sad though, when given a lot of thought this really could of been an interesting and good film. If you really think about the ending, what if something like that was happening, and how do we know what creatures were before us? Sadly, this movie still sucks. WORTH A LOOK!!!!

DEMON CHILD is a desert-based rehash of IT'S ALIVE, and all that's lacking is the presence of the legendary John P. Ryan to liven things up. Unfortunately, what we get are a half-dozen nonactors stumbling over their lines, and one of them is an aging mad scientist who mutters his lines in a whispery, unintelligible accent. These zany folks are traveling across a desert landscape when they encounter an old Indian and his giant egg. Guess what's in the egg. "It's a killer infink!" as Popeye might exclaim. This 2004 STV is badly photographed, lighted, directed, written and edited, but it is good for a couple of laughs. The demon child is actually an unclothed rubber doll with horns glued on. The actors have to hold the doll to them to simulate its attacks, and we never once see the doll do anything on its own. At one point, it races through the night, but what we get is the doll's blurry POV as it supposedly rapidly waddles across the terrain. And wait until you hear its growl. Another hilarious bit has to do with the camper the actors are traveling in. The driver drives in a very casual way, mostly looking away from the road as he yaks, and we never actually see the landscape moving around him. Plus every time we see the actors gathered in the camper, bright sunlight is pouring through the windows. But whenever they step outside, it is night time and they need flashlights. I got this beauty at Wal-Mart for $3.88 as part of an updated Halloween video collection. There were a dozen other titles all looking about as scary and professional as this one. Clearly, DEMON CHILD was someone's home movie, pure and simple. If only John Ryan had been available!

I played the part of Bryce. The production people were no better than amateurs. Except the make up lady, she was totally professional and above excellent in skill. Like others I did not get paid, until I brought a civil action against them. I don't think the actors were as bad as the movie showed them. The director was terrible (turrible - if you like Charles Berkley) the associate producer didn't have a clue to even keep quiet on the set while shooting. One quite cheap camcorder. One take shooting. Not because it was good, they never took a look at the video they shot. The worst editing ever. No run through before shooting. I'll take my bad review lumps as an actor.

OK, OK, now before I get bumrushed for saying this, hear me out. I have seen soooooooooo many ,just plain bad horror movies that I actually dug this one. You can tell where they made their little mistakes. I just can't help but wonder, what if those little mistakes were corrected? What kind of movie would we be talking about then? Now I know we can say that for a lot of horror movies, movies period, but I liked 666. It isn't predictable. It's just the stuff that's bad, is just plain bad. Everything else works as good as any other low budget horror film. I can name nine other horror films that would make 666 number one in entertainment value, and horror.

This is not your average demon child movie, oh no. This child is different. Special even. See, unlink most demon children we see today who are all born of man this one is from an ancient race that lived 500,000 years ago. That race was defeated by another ancient race of giants that was related (distantly) to man. It is up to a Winnebago of co-eds to kill the newly hatched demon child and save humanity.

The plot is pretty original. The acting while not great isn't terrible either. The sound track I thought was overdone and intrusive. The special effects were absolutely out of this world, but in a horrible way. They were really, really lame. The devil child never moves on it's own. It's not at all animated. Same is true for the other monster scenes. Whenever someone is attacked it's basically a case of putting the muppet on the actor and watching them scream and squirm while trying not to knock the poor kid off.

But except for the special effects it's not that terrible. Just don't expect a whole lot but with this title and direct to video why would you.
