Perfectly adorable
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
View MoreThis 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.
View MoreLots 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.
View MoreYou'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.
View MoreFirst of all, I clicked "Contains spoiler" because I describe a couple of scenes. The scenes described doesn't ruin anything for you.After the gory party that is Bone Sickness, I just knew I had to watch Fetus. I can also start by saying that this one is right up there with Bone Sickness, but with more sickness (which I guess you can expect from a gore film called Fetus). There are a lot of decapitated fetuses, a bunch of intestines, dead and raped chicks, demons, and even a child being born from a penis.The plot is simple, and I'm glad that it is, because it's hard to follow at times like it is. Sometimes we don't have any idea what's happening and why. In flashbacks we get some of the information that we feel are lost at times, but sadly not all of it. However, this is a sick and gory film, and you don't need a perfect plot for that.The effects are pretty much as good as they were in Bone Sickness, but you can easily tell that Brian has been experimenting a lot more with stuff here. The gore itself looks beautiful, and it's all really gruesome. There are a few scenes I didn't care much more, like the axe at the neck, because there is no way anyone would think that axe was even close to the neck. It really had me going "what the f***?", 'cause it just looks so bad. But scenes like that are forgotten when we see the really good ones. My two personal favorites: The totally messed up face of the store clerk. It's just so extreme and bizarre looking. The second one is the screaming fetus head. It looked really great and the sound was so vile.The acting of Brian Paulin (who, just like in Bone Sickness, plays the lead) is a little better this time around. He really seems to take the role a lot more serious, and he should because the entire movie is focused on him.Overall, it's a f***ed up movie. Bone Sickness might have more gore, but this one is really testing the audience. The movie isn't perfect, some things feel and look a little goofy, but they still work well enough to make us wonder what the hell Brian will make next.For more bizarre film reviews: FilmBizarro.com
