The title of this film sometimes appears as "Attack of the Adult Babies". It's a British film directed by Dominic Brunt, made in 2017. It's a horror comedy, splatter, low-budget film which is crude, rude and full of lewd.
To summarise it as best as I can; a family are forced to break into a country estate as they are threatened at gunpoint by two Russian hitmen, who, are under instructions by the father of the family who has his own motives. Upon breaking into the country estate it becomes clear that it is a retreat for a wealthy upper-class cult, comprised of politicians, judges and heads of commerce - it's like an old Etonian reunion on crack. While at the retreat, the cult members all dress up as babies and imbibe a strange drug which makes them believe they are babies - but its ok, hired sexy nurses are there to rub their bellies and change their nappies. As the family dig deeper a sinister plot is uncovered, the cult is a front for an alien entity/pooh God which has been ruling the world for some time. Only the family that started the adventure can end the horrors occurring within the cult.
This film isn't for the mainstream masses, or even conventional horror fans - but if you like gross out gore and tongue in cheek humour - then you might enjoy this film. I have to admit, this actually divided my household, I thought it was a decent, albeit random film, my missus out-right hated it and said it's the worst bad film we've seen together - and FTR, I have introduced her to a real library of bad films. The acting wasn't awful, although it's obvious who has acted before and who was just drafted in for this film. Maybe there was a lack of depth and character development, but you wouldn't typically get a massive amount of that in a film of this type anyway so I could overlook that. The pace of the film was ok and flowed nicely - it didn't take too long to get things going. The action was decent with a nice amount of fake blood and fake pooh. The CGI was tastefully done for a low budget film and, random as it was, the Claymation addition towards the end of the film was of a decent standard. The message, or themes explored on the film could have been better - while tip-toeing around a political or philosophical message it didn't really seem to hammer a meaningful message home, it didn't leave me thinking after the end of the film - which was a pity.
Now to rating, I rate all films against each other and the standard of films from history and how I feel about them. My reviews and ratings are my opinions only. I didn't hate this film, I didn't think I'd wasted time watching this film - but I didn't come away from the film wanting to tell family and friends that it's a must-watch cult classic either. I'm going to give "Adult Babies" a 5 out of 10.
