Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

thirteenprime I saw this ... thing ... last night on TCM under the title The Devil Within Her and am still wondering why they scheduled it. It's a slapdash mess, a Rosemary's Baby ripoff by way of The Exorcist. The only good thing about it is Joan Collins, who's still in her '70s career decline and taking whatever work she could get. Joan's a pro who gives this film her best, and as a result the best thing about the film -- the only good thing, really -- is her name on the poster. That's it. It's a daft story about a dwarf and strippers and bizarre murders. Donald Pleasance shows up to lend a bit of weight to the proceedings but, really, just skip this one. It's not bad enough to be any fun at all. It's just bad.

Michael_Elliott The Devil Within Her (1975)* (out of 4)Lucy (Joan Collins) and her husband Gino (Ralph Bates) welcome a new baby boy but right from the start they can tell there's something not quite right with him. Their doctor (Donald Pleasence) isn't sure what's the cause of his super strength and violent outbursts but before long Lucy fears it might have something to do with the dwarf that put a curse on her.THE DEVIL WITHIN HER was the AIP title given to this film, which was originally made as I DON'T WANT TO BE BORN. As you can tell from the plot, this here is basically another child possession movie, which was all the craze after the success of THE EXORCIST. No matter what you call this turkey, there's no question that it's downright awful on many levels. When you make a horror movie the main thing you're trying to do is scare people but that certainly doesn't happen here as there's not a single moment of suspense.So, what went wrong with this film? That's a good question because there's really nothing good here. What's so amazing is the fact that the horror elements are so awful as well. There's no suspense to be found and there's not even the slightest amount of tension. Another problem is that it's very poorly made and especially the various scenes where the baby attacks people. These scenes are poorly shot and poorly edited. In fact, they are at times embarrassing and especially since the baby's arms wouldn't reach some of the people that it is attacking.It also doesn't help that we're given some really bad performances. Collins and Caroline Munro share a really embarrassing scene where they're drinking and it really does seem as if they're going after each other trying to prove which one could overact the worst. Bates isn't any better in his role as the husband. Eileen Atkins is pretty good as Sister Albana and I'd argue that Pleasence was also quite good and especially since you almost made you believe the dialogue that he was saying.THE DEVIL WITHIN HER is a really, really awful movie on many levels. Thankfully it's bad enough to the point where there are a few scenes that you can laugh at. Still, the film really drags at times and there's just nothing to recommend.

moonspinner55 Combination "Rosemary's Baby"/"The Exorcist"/"It's Alive" rubbish from the UK, released there as "I Don't Want To Be Born", is an absolutely ridiculous occult thriller without one single redeeming attribute (apart from the camp factor, as well as a devilish dwarf who pops up dressed like a court jester). Low-rent showgirl Joan Collins is cursed by the little guy after spurning his advances, which leads to the malevolent possession of her newborn infant--who packs a mean right hook!--eventually becoming homicidal. Collins, flashing some skin, looks like she'd rather be elsewhere, perhaps in another naughty adaptation of one of her sister's tawdry books. The incredulous will either scoff or stick around for the unintended amusement, though it feels rather shameful to laugh while all these actors are being humiliated. NO STARS from ****

agentkitty4894 I gave this a 7, not because it's actually good, but because it's just so freaking hilarious. Good horror movies are pretty rare, but as far as bad horror movies go, they can either be outright terrible, or completely hilarious. This one ranks pretty high in my "completely hilarious" category. (Baby is born possessed by evil midget that molests former stripper, baby goes on killing spree. Parents freak out, but chalk it up to postpartum depression. The mom's sister-in-law that happens to be a nun comes to visit, further upsets baby. Baby kills more people. Mom keeps freaking out but no one can conceive that a baby kills people despite this kid's freakishly large size for having been just born and its crazed reactions to nuns and holy water. Random scenes involving crazy evil midget, etc.) If you should, for some reason, feel like laughing manically at death scenes and evil babies, this one's a winner. Given, you will have to suffer through some terrible lighting and awful acting, but the sheer hilarity is almost worth it.
