Devil Fetus (1983)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Such a frustrating disappointment

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

On the IMDb Horror board (RIP) I would see the regs on the board talk about seeing CAT III films from Hong Kong. Whilst very interested in seeing these movies, I could not decide where to start. Taking part in a poll on ICM for best films of 1983,I found a title which allowed me to finally grab the CAT III tail.View on the film:Rolling this devil fetus in any Horror sub-genre they could get their hands on, the screenplay by Wen-Hua Cheng & Ging-Jiu Lo goes for a wonderfully bonkers slap-dash approach which leaps from gross-out body horror to husky monster movie action in a blink of an eye. Withholding the chance for the flick to settle by keeping the demon/monster always on the move with the family,the writers use the lone thread of the demon jumping from victim to victim,to string together weird set-pieces from a cake packed with worms, to a woman getting intimate with the devil.Playing Keepie uppie with the head of CAT III, director Hung-Chuen Lau goes all-out to embrace the freedom it offers, via rising above the low budget with tracking shots and whip-pans springing out from each demonic possession. Whilst the dark synch score (sadly uncredited) casts a brooding mood, Lau shoves it aside to go for delicious gore that has the set-pieces bursting with rubbery monster effects and lashings of slime spread across the devil fetus.

Hong Kong horror from the eighties but as cheesy as it can get. And due being cheesy and having laughable conversations it became a cult classic and it shows because it's becoming really hard to get this flick. It was available in Cantonese language with English subs on DVD but it vanished the earth and it rather goes for a lot of money when it pops up on the internet. But it's worth the hunt if you can dig cheesy horror. The effects were indeed laughable and were done in stop motion or the use of green and purple lighting or with editing but you will keep watching it and it never becomes boring. I can't even say that it is a supernatural flick or a ghost story because it has elements of all kind of genres from the world of horror. Of course it's famous for a few scene's, the eating of the intestines of a dog aren't for the squeamish and there's also some bit of animal cruelty with an eagle. It starts rather good with the vase giving one's man a curse that makes his face immediately change into a face full of maggots and puss. From there on it takes a while before things go wrong but once the possession is in the house you will have some fun while watching it. And you must be prepared for some effects. Seeing is believing. I also liked the wizard or priest having his fight against the possessed body. It starts so nice and turns into the cheesiest moments of Mo Tai or Devil Fetus.There's no nudity to spot maybe some will say the raping at the beginning contains nudity but nothing is shown. There's not that much of blood but the animal cruelty and the scene with the walls will deliver for the gorehounds. A must see and I admit that I never heard of this flick until a week or two ago, shame on me.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Hey pygmies it is I back again with another titillating....tit.....hehe.....review for you. Well up to this point you have seen a lot of positive reviews from me and are probably thinking "this guy thinks everything is good" well your in luck because we are about to buck the trend with this film Devil Fetus.Title sounds cool right and the story to a point, is about a women impregnated by a demon complete with demon hump scene. Now your thinking monsters and sex GREAT...WRONG BIG TIME. Here is the skinny in a nutshell. Women buys a Jade Statue which carries a demon inside of it, women uses Statue as a sexual gratification devise, demon pops out, gives her a pounding,impregnates her then kills her and her husband. At the womens funeral the priests see that the womens stomach is swelling like a turkey on Thanksgiving, the beast comes out of her stomach and the priests seal it in the womens coffin.Time passes and the womens two nephews who were very young at the death of their aunt have become strapping young men who always say "mom" or "mommy" every other word. The oldest gets the hots for a family friend and takes her to see the grandmother who has been trying to help keep the evil forces surrounding the deaths at bay. They go into the room were his aunt who was freaking the demon and his uncle died. Inside the room is a monument to their deaths that is not to be messed with, guess what ...they mess with it.From there all sorts of weird shiznit happens, a dog gets possessed and tries to get some up skirt action on a women who is already making out with a guy, the younger brother gets possessed starts eating on the family dog and starts a brief cross dressing masturbation spree complete with cut away coke can opening sequence to imply that his load has been blown and a crazy Japanesse early 80's synthesized disco party where everyone dances like they are having grandma seizures (and they are not possessed). This all leads to a laser light show so trippy it would make Kiss meets the Phantom of the Park look like a ground breaking tour de force and a really goofy fight scene with the demon and the older brother at the end for good measure.You may say at this point it sounds like cheesy fun....its not. In fact this was nearly unwatchable. I've seen tons of "so bad there goods" but this is "so bad it makes me want to gouge out my eyes with a rusty nail". The sad thing is even if this movie tried to ham it up it still would blow harder than Pam Anderson on Tommy Lee. How about gore you ask, well there is a few scenes (guys head gets crushed was the best) but nothing that I haven't seen down 20 times better in other movies and really there is not a whole lot to write home about anyway. Even if there was mounds of blood the way this movie played out it still would not have helped.As you can see this movie has scarred me from its horrible effects to its crappy story which really could have been wrote by a 10th generation inbred with no arms of legs (think about it), it serves as a poster child that not all J-Horror is good, in fact some is down right horrible. Decent start, horrible and boring middle with a painfully bad ending make this a film that every copy in the world should be gathered together for a mass burning with free clinics for people to help get through the traumatic experience of watching it.2/10 Painfully bad in a bad way. Someone should have aborted this Fetus before it popped out in the theaters.At this time there is no DVD release (THANK GOD) of this film. I was warned by my friend who let me borrow this but I thought it will be a cheesy fun monster fest like a lot of you are thinking right now. Please avoid like the plague you will thank me for it.

This movie would have been better without the actual dead German Shepherd. Did they kill the dog for the movie, or did they just happen to have one? It's not a fake prop, it's just sad.There is a great scene with the monk trying to exorcize the demon.
