- TriviaGary Oldman provides the voice of the fetus monster in the English dub.
- GoofsWhen Yanka is driving and talking to the monster about her preferred type of men, her car with camera equipment attached to it is reflected in the windows of the buildings.
- Quotes
Voix du monstre: What do you like about men?
Yanka: [sighs] Sad eyes. I like it when a man looks unhappy.
Voix du monstre: Unhappy?... I just thought of something. Is a man intelligent because he knows he's unhappy? After all, an animal doesn't know it's unhappy. So is unhappiness a sign of inteligence?
Yanka: [laughs]
- Alternate versionsThe "R" rated U.S. release is missing much of the gore, and has many scenes in a different order.

Featured review
Baby Blood: 80s Francophone Maternal Horror
This overlooked, nearly forgotten 1989 film that took an idea (could be influences from Alien/Aliens films and Cronenberg's Body Horror films) of gore and violence in childbearing, directed by Alain Robak, produced in France.
Its main character, Yanka played merciless by Emmanuelle Escourrou featuring a disembodied voice, being that of an unborn baby.
It's opening with stock footage of volcanic eruptions/ocean waves with an oral narrative on prehistoric/evolutionary thematic dialogue.
Then after opening credits it sets upon a present day circus community where Yanka works as a performer with the lion act and in an abusive relationship. A new feline creature arrives and imprints on her, later it mysteriously dies.
She soon discovered that there's a pregnancy, unborn and escapes the circus environment and becomes a nomad (with the unborn voice) speaking to her on what she needs to do.
Throughout a series of misadventures leading her to Paris, discovering that the unborn has an appetite for blood.
Yanka, becomes the unborn's slave by feeding on unsuspecting people, mostly men. She tries to see if she could find love, but nothing happens except murder.
The more unborn needs to feeds, more violent are Yanka's crimes. Advancing to the unnatural birthing, as the blood trail lengthens.
This film uses a tongue in cheek approach, making some scenes comedic, almost as innocent fun. 80s cultural antics are bright patterned fashions, etc.
"Baby Blood" is before contemporary Francophone horror, precedes 90s with it's psychological explanations with motherhood. It's way before French films like "Inside" (2007) and in 2008, a long awaited sequel, "Lady Blood" that didn't have the first film's originality.
This is worth a look, if your taste is obscure, but smart Euro-Horror styled cinema with practical special effects.
