Monster of the Day #2011

Updated on October 15, 2019 By Ken Begg 19 Comments

I’m back! Sorry, my trip to Kentucky got extended for reasons that, well, weren’t great. Back now, though. We finish up out look at T-Fest 2019 with a look at a film we watched post-Fest. It was about the laff riot of the weekend, however. Behold the terror that is…Sharon’s Baby. (Despite the fact the character wasn’t named Sharon.) Ever want to see a baby kill someone with an axe? Well, you won’t see it here. Because, you know, it’s impossible. It happens, though. The film is a glorious mess and I laughed every time they mentioned the “usual” amount of sedatives for a two-day old baby. Stars Joan Collins, with Donald Pleasance and Caroline Munro along for the ride. Check it out on Amazon Prime.

    Ah-hah! When I first saw the baby I thought you were going to tell us you were a new uncle or something like that!

    Love that cast, will have to check it out, thanks!

    Joan Collins and Donald Pleasance? That sounds amazing. I’ll have to check it out.

    I heard you were going to watch this; I’m sad I couldn’t see it with you. I have to say, it is well worth checking out, as it is pretty hilarious. I think it’d be a good future Fest candidate, myself.

  • I hate it when that happens…

  • Wade Harrell

    On Prime find it under the title “The Devil Within Her”. The poster features a knife wielding hand with baby legs!

    Hope all is well, despite unhappily extended family visit.

    Very sorry to hear that bad things happened on the trip. May it all have been resolved.

    I just read a description of that movie on Wikipedia. The baby is possessed and runs around knifing and decapitating people? And I thought they were a pain when you needed to change them. Worse still, that movie seems to have been intended to be taken 100% seriously. What drugs were they on when they made it?

    Oh, while discussing bad movies, has anyone here ever read the immense article on Wikipedia about ‘cult’ movies? I wondered if anyone else found it as pretentious as I did, especially the ‘audiences are just too stupid to appreciate our artistic genius’ attitude.

    Yes, we might wait a year or two, but it’s definitely worth a wider watch.

    Watched it last night and thanks Wade and Ken, I haven’t laughed so hard in a good while.

    (SLIGHT SPOILERS) Well, after baby Nick destroys the nursery like a rock star trashing a motel room including a mobile hanging from the ceiling that there is no way on earth he could reach I assumed he had some sort of supernatural telekinetic powers. But they never show any, as the movie went on I was forced to admit that apparently the baby could handle weapons as well as swing around like Tarzan. I think at that point my brain broke.

    Things I learned from this movie (with all due respect to Andrew Borntreger)

    * Do not honk off a dwarf/little person whatever the PC term is today or they will curse you.
    * If cursed you might be better off getting a goldfish than having a baby.
    * Do not have your baby delivered by Donald Pleasence even if he is a doctor in the movie.
    * Do not handle a possessed baby without proper eye and face protection.
    * A possessed baby is very strong. Even more so than an adult man or woman.
    * If your baby is possessed having a sister-in-law who is a nun is very useful.
    * Do not get into a beauty contest with Caroline Munro. Gee friggin’ whiz I thought young Joan Collins was a stunning woman but in every scene with Munro she’s totally eclipsed!

  • My God, yes. Only Pamela Franklin comes close to competing in my book.

    Also known as I DON’T WANT TO BE BORN it seems. I had never heard of the film before yesterday, and on that day I somehow ended up hearing about it from TWO sources! The other title was given to me by a friend while discussing my recent acquisition of a new box of beta tapes, which included a Caroline Munro title. What are the odds?

  • Eric Hinkle

    Just imagine if they do a modern remake with CGI out the wazoo. You’ll actually see the killer baby running up walls like Jackie Chan and leaping to slice people’s heads off with an axe.

  • Gamera977

    It’s the only thing that would make the movie even funnier!

    Personally I’d just have the baby make a mean face and then have a knife etc fly though the air with telekinetic force into the victim. Crazy that I don’t even believe in psychic powers but to me it’d make more sense than having a baby swinging a shovel to behead people!

  • Wade Harrell

    Three different titles, always a mark of quality!
