Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Leofwine_draca DEVIL FETUS is a Hong Kong horror yarn very much in the mould of the films made by Shaw Brothers such as BLACK MAGIC, MO, and the like. It was produced by Lo Wei, the guy who once directed Bruce Lee in the likes of THE BIG BOSS and its ilk a decade beforehand. The film is lower budgeted than Shaw additions to the genre, but still manages to pack a great deal of ickiness into the running time, even if the titular spirit doesn't appear much.The story is about the purchase of an antique vase that releases an evil demonic spirit that impregnates a young woman before killing her. The spirit emerges from her stomach before being captured and subdued by a Taoist priest for a decade or so until an unfortunate accident sees it released to attack the woman's family members. Initially a dog is possessed before the spirit enters the body of a young man and all hell breaks loose from there.Films like DEVIL FETUS are quite predictable and tend to borrow the majority of their scares from Hollywood hits like POLTERGEIST and THE ENTITY while adding a distinctly Asian vibe all of their own and this is no exception. The cast give nondescript performances and the direction is nothing special, but there's a high level of cheesy special effects mixed with the odd bit of unpalatable animal cruelty (a German Shepherd and an eagle being ill served by this film's plot). Expect flying beds, apparitions, nudity, the vomiting of worms, and an outlandish climax packed full of supernatural mayhem. It's lowbrow stuff, but sure to delight horror fans regardless.

BA_Harrison With a terrific title and its Cat III rating, I was hoping that Devil Fetus would be the ideal antidote to some of the dreadful US horror output that I have seen recently. Unfortunately, with an incomprehensible story and risible effects, this low-budget Hong Kong effort is hard-going, even for a fan of bad movies like me.A woman buys a strange jade vase, which the seller says will bring her good luck. However, in reality, a nasty randy demon resides within the ornament and emerges from time to time to get it on with its new owner. When the woman's husband comes home to find the slimy creature banging his missus, he smashes the vase, releasing the monster in a cloud of smoke. The husband's face rots away and both he and his wife wind up dead.At their funeral, a priest witnesses the dead woman giving birth to the demon's offspring and attempts to trap it using magic. This works for a while, but inevitably, the 'devil fetus' is eventually freed and sets out to cause all sorts of trouble...From hereon in, things get kind of confusing (thanks to dreadful direction and lousy editing), with the creature possessing various people (and animals) and 'jumping' from host to host when necessary, and I found it a struggle to remain interested. When the viewing of a film takes me three consecutive nights to complete, I know it's a stinker! For those who manage to stay the distance, there is some half decent gore (my favourite moment being a head which is squished against a pane of glass), a couple of iffy moments involving real animals suffering for their art, and a whole shed-load of shonky visual effects (which include laser-beam eyes, flying furniture and what I can only describe as a multiple tentacled-head attack!).But for those looking for truly a satisfying outrageous and gory piece of Cat III fun, I would definitely recommend trying elsewhere.

Dan Devil's Fetus is certainly one of the weirdest films that I have had the pleasure to watch.The story is very strange, I still cannot figure it out out fully. The film starts with a public sell in which a young lady obtains a desired product which is some sort of a lamp. Later, she arrives at her home, and starts enjoying herself with that lamp, then a very strange demon f**ks her before her boyfriend comes and later discovers that his girlfriend's dark side, then the demon disappears and the boyfriend breaks the lamp and gets hurt, and then they both die heh. This description is just the first five minutes from this obscure little film. It becomes much nastier, crazier and odder later on.At certain moments this flick can be similar to a supernatural kung fu flick, however , this film combines no fights, just wacky supernatural incidents like those of the Evil Dead.Devil's Fetus contains gore, nudity, supernatural content and ghosts, demons that rape young girls, crazy religious people and so on.I can recommend it to fans of supernatural horror movies and fans of Asian cinema. Recommended 7/10

David Austin Wow! This movie was so inappropriate. Incredibly funny stuff, albeit unintentionally. An ugly lamp humps, possesses, and slaughters it's way through an entire family. The (non-gore) highlight for me would have to be the wild and tacky 80's dance party that stuck in the middle of the film. None of these people should ever be allowed to dance or act in a movie again. Was that dog doing what I think he was doing during the party? The sorcerous fight scene using Atari-era special effects and teleportation via the simple expedient of turning the camera off and on was also classic. The only disappointment is that the titular fetus only really appears onscreen in its "fetus" incarnation for a few seconds, in a scene stolen straight from Alien. Don't miss this one, it'll mess you up and loosen your bladder.
