This week’s installment comes from France circa 1990. This title is not excessively hard to track down, but yet is another that many horror fans may have missed or overlooked. I present to you... Baby Blood.

I must confess even I missed this title. I did not discover it until last year when I was pregnant. Though many women may, rightfully so, chose not to watch pregnancy-themed horror films while they have a bun in the oven, my sick brain was drawn to them. After viewing Rosemary’s Baby, The Devil Within, and It’s Alive, I found myself searching for something rare, something I had never seen before. Thus, I found Baby Blood. Written and directed by Alan Robak, Baby Blood focuses on a circus performer named Yanka. After being abused by her lover she flees the circus and sets out on her own. Yanka thinks she is pregnant...

In 1990, a small movie carved itself a name in the horror-comedy genre. The plot was about motherly love and sacrifice. In a small town north of France a circus and its surroundings are caught in a whirlwind of horror and gore after the death of a newly imported leopard. Some strange parasite inside the cat burrows itself inside Yanka, the downtrodden pregnant wife of the circus-owner, and takes control or her fetus. It soon starts demanding blood, and the woman goes searching for victims for her new baby, leaving a trail of bodies behind her until the monster finally crawls out of her and disappear in the ocean.

More than a decade after Babyblood left its mark on the audience, a sequel is finally there. The trailer is a promising,...

This thing was finished quite a while ago but has been languishing for a year. Why? Well, from what I heard the film was terrible and I'm betting they did some reshoots and recuts. Here is the first trailer for the film, and here is the teaser. Sequel to the 1990 film Baby Blood, it's directed by feature length first timer Jean-Marc Vincent and it's finally going to get a release in France on August 19th.

Several years after a terrifying and traumatic experience, Yanka has to face her old demons again. She has become a mom, a wife and a police inspector. Meanwhile some mobsters have arrived in town, many ravaged bodies are found. Is there a link? But the serial killer seems to be a cannibal and the bodies have evil marks. Yanka has a strange feeling… Definitely, something has come back, something is approaching, something is looking for her…...
