Reviews from Letterboxd

1. brad_henderson – ★★★★
   “THE DEMON’S BABY takes a bit to set up but once it hits the 45 minute mark it becomes crazy. 5 demons impregnate 5 women and a priest tries to kill them all. This might be the first and only Kung Fu Abortion film ever and I’m here for it.”

2. daisukekawazu – ★★★★
   “This one’s for all the sickos out there. Evil demons inseminating five women to bring about the apocalypse, and a Taoist priest has to abort them by kung fu force. Wild stuff, with lots of practical creature effects.”

3. durabun – ★★★½
   “Incredibly creative creature design and some shockingly gnarly scenes. There’s a lull in the middle, but when it goes off, it really goes off.”

4. jameswhite – ★★★
   “A messy but memorable HK horror flick. Not for the squeamish. A little slow at first, but the final act delivers cult gold.”

5. monstrousfemale – ★★★★
   “Completely unhinged. Feels like a fever dream with fanged babies and black magic. A true gem of grotesque fantasy horror.”

Meta Description:
