From David V.G. Davies, attendee of GoreZone Weekend of Horror Film Festival:
"Sitting down to watch this at its UK premiere at the Gorezone Weekend of Horror I wasn't exactly sure what I was about to see.
This homage to 80's shock horrors like Basket Case and Child's Play was everything i could have wished for and then a swift kick in the nuts to follow.
From the start I felt I was watching something that I perhaps shouldn't be. The low production costs and sometimes shaky camera and off framing made this feel like a very underground independent film, luring me in with the expectation of something gross to come in the final reel
Once the arrival of the title character hit the screens I found myself in pain form laughing so hard. having seen promo photos of Baby, what you see on the screen is a fantastic well executed puppet that is far better than I imagined and what he does on screen is both insane and hilarious and im sure everyone who watches this will try to impersonate baby's crazy noises, I know I did
this is a fantastic horror comedy that gives you everything you could want from the genre. gore, shocks, sex, drugs, a freaky perverted baby, an Elvis impersonator and hell of a lot more.
This is definitely worth watching!"

"Immediately after [Samurai Princess] we dive into the first real shocker of the day, Won Ton Baby!, a gleeful echo back to 70s and 80s splatterfests like Basket Case and Ghoulies. Presented by Suzi Lorraine, no-budget scream queen and, here, writer and producer, the movie concerns a monstrous Elvis-inspired evil child which has been hitching a ride in fetus in fitu for thirty years, subsumed by the ghastly tumour of his unknowing sister, Lily. When he is finally ‘born’, the creature is a violent, sexually voracious little tyke, with a ridiculous quiff and a taste for women! Not a million miles from Garth Marenghi’s Skipper the Eye Child, or a horny cabbage patch doll, there’s a lot of laughs and a lot of barf involved, not least during the scene where a rather controversial porn video is found. Oh boy. Crazy and funny, and played for gross-out giggles, Won Ton Baby! won’t be winning too many mainstream awards, but the festival crowds will love it." |
