What critics compared Baby Blood to
One wishes Serkis and scribe Kelly Marcel had the agency to really lean into this weirdness, of a man’s body serving as host for a demanding entity, with similar voice work to something more outrageously strange like the 1990 French cult classic Baby Blood .
In many ways, this essence of a familiar acting out the rage its host cannot has been revisited countless times, whether in glorious B-movie cult classics like Baby Blood (1990) or Basket Case (1982) or higher brow freak shows like The Brood (1979), a femme centered psychosomatic extravaganza Bergholm seems to be on the same wavelength as.
