    When Donald Pleasence is your doctor, you know you're in a horror movie. The Devil Within Her AKA I Don't Want to Be Born AKA Shirley's Baby AKA Son of Satan doesn't waste any time taking the visceral aspect of Rosemary's Baby up a notch with Joan Collins giving birth immediately and the baby tasting her blood in the opening minutes. So Rosemary? Or The Exorcist? It actually came out before The Omen, but it's like that too. Whichever film it seems like, it's really more like Child's Play, with a frankly ridiculous killer baby offing the people it doesn't like (and it doesn't like anyone). And that ridiculousness is what makes the movie fun despite the unconvincing metaphysical plot mechanics (I think they missed a trick being unambiguous about Hercules' threat - it could have been a warning) and obvious padding (a sex scene here, walking around town there, go on too long). A bright, colorful British horror flick that taps directly into the tropes of its era, with some recognizable stars and crazy violence. It's not gonna win any awards, but it's a fair 90 minutes' entertainment. Also, a score by Ron Grainer, composer of the Doctor Who theme tune. 3 years 9 months ago
