    If you liked Bone Sickness you will like Fetus

    Lots of people hated both Fetus and Bone Sicknes, two movies from director Brian Paulin. Well, i like them both. Paulin delivers the goods in this two movies. Fetus is a non-stop bloody perverted low budget movie. Paulin is like an American version of ultra gore directors, his movies only objective are to show blood and gore and gross stuff. Thats what he promises and thats what he gave the people with Fetus (and Bone Sickness). Don't expect Oscar material performing or dialogs, this is low budget exploitation. One great highlight of the movie is the sound, its very well worked, the editing (image and sound) is really good and generates some good scares. Recommended for the gore fans.

    A Bloody Good Mix of Scares and Dark Humor

    The Fetus completely surprised me. What I thought would just be another "possessed baby" horror flick actually turned into a smart mix of scares, dark comedy, and emotional weight. The story follows a young couple who discover their pregnancy isn't as normal as it seems - and the way the film balances genuine dread with over-the-top humor makes it stand out from other horror films this year.

    The performances sell it - the leads feel believable and grounded, which makes the outrageous, demonic moments even more fun. The practical effects are creepy, the atmosphere keeps you on edge, and the pacing never drags. I also loved the little satirical touches about family, parenthood, and how far people will go to protect (or fear) what's theirs.

    If you're into horror-comedy with some real bite, this one's worth checking out. It's original, unsettling, and unexpectedly funny - a must-watch for fans of films like Ready or Not or The Babysitter.

    Brought to you by Brian "insert hair joke" Paulin.

    You're wife and child die during child-birth. What do you do? Of course you visit your nearby Goth store and buy a witchcraft book so you can resurrect them. Dur!

    Brian "I don't want to shave my head" Paulin is back again with another gore flick. After the ultra gory and ultra turdy Bone Sickness, I had a slight curiosity to see how his new horror flick would end up turning out. My main issues with Bone Sickness was that it was repetitive and boring. Unfortunately the same problems occur in Fetus. Scenes go on for far too long. This film should definitely have been a short instead of a feature. That's a f@ckin fact.

    Honestly, there isn't anything very memorable in this one. In the other review on here the reviewer mentions some pretty cool stuff like a penis giving birth, some chick shooting her snatch away....honestly, even though these things sound cool, they really aren't. There's zero scares and anything remotely gory is so amateurish and sloppy the feeling towards anything extreme is more neutral than eye-opening.

    For this guy, there isn't anything to really write home about. There's some okay nudity, some very average looking graphic gore, and.....yep, that's it. I really do hope that Paulin's next venture doesn't have him as the lead, and that he strictly focuses on the fx, since anyone who studied under Dick Smith should be pretty good. Unfortunately, this one is another lame duck, and it's strike two for Brian "My Mom says I'm handsome" Paulin. In the meantime, I'll go re-watch some classic Ittenbach.

    One for the Gorehounds!

    This is a real bloody treat for you. And by bloody I mean bloody! This movie is damn near soaking in the stuff. But that's not all. There's some truly demented and depraved stuff going on in this beauty. If you are easily offended or squeamish, this is not the movie for you.

    The plot is pretty simple, a man loses his loving wife during childbirth, along with his newborn baby. He falls into a deep depression and comes to the conclusion that he must bring her back from the dead, by any means necessary.

    That's the general scope of it. The story is pretty plain, with relatively plain acting and sound effects to go with it. Also with this being shot on video, it looks so cheap most would probably dismiss it as rubbish before even giving it a chance. They would miss out though. Where this movie succeeds is in the special effects. Those were some astounding effects! Things were so bloody I was getting nauseous. Usually I find blood splatter fun and hilarious, but I was getting grossed out in this one. You gotta admire that reaction. So seldom do people get grossed out anymore with movies. But this is just disgusting. Never mind the gore, you got so many taboos broken it's insane. I don't want to spoil anything, but given the title, you know there's going to be some mistreating of a fetus. But that's not all. There is a truly demented scene towards the end that I will not spoil here, but if it doesn't leave you applauding, I don't know what will.

    I'm going go out on a limb and guess many horror fans would not approve of this. But being the gore hound that I am, I found this little gem delightful.

    At least i finally watched it.

    I wanted to watch FETUS for a while now since i heard that it's one of these most disturbing movies. Well no. Sure the gore effects are unique and clearly are inspired by Guinea Pig films, August Underground and Women's Flesh My Red Guts, but the story itself makes zero logic.

    We got a guy that has his wife and two children die. This drives him insane so he gets into rituals, and try his best to get in touch with his wife, by killing four men, and then Satan comes in the play. Yeah. I just told you the whole plot.

    I was expecting something along the lines of INSIDE, but i got a movie that i barely can describe. I can praise it only for the gore effects some of which look unique, i can give it that. Everything else isn't really good at all.

    If you are into films like August Underground, and Nekromanik, like very low-budget low plot films go for it. I did not get disturbed during this movie at all. Since it had zero plot, to begin with. It felt like a Slaughter Vomit Dolls movie, just random scene after random scene, because why not.

    When i was watching this movie, a big Daddy Long Legs spider got on my wall, and that triggered me more than this movie ever did lmao.
