Nice effects though.

Lack of good storyline.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I just came across this flick because it's second title was The Toolbox Murders 2. Do I need to say more? Linking this flick onto the 1978 classic...Sure, he do uses a toolbox but that's the only link so you can guess what I'l going to to write about this little stinker.The flick never got my attention for the story itself because it's full of plot holes but why I never pushed the eject button was the gore added. If you do like extreme gore then this is a must see because it's rather explicit and gorehounds will love it. If someone can explain why the story involved the Black Dahlia murders then I will be happy to listen. The "coffin baby" itself is a bit weird too. Towards the story they are trying to give the victim the Stockholm Syndrome but somehow it didn't work because she do wants to escape naturally. She do gets used by all the horror done in the cellar but still...her face never got dirty...And then there's of course Bruce Dern. It takes over an hour before he comes in doing what he does best, looking scary. Gorehounds, don't hesitate and go for it but if you like strong stories forget it.Gore 5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

A well done Horror movie. Very GORY and visually creepy. The TBM 'Coffin Baby' should be up there with the other supernatural maniacs. I see some reviews talk about 'where is the story'?. If you know the history of the other movies, you wouldn't have to wonder, those are NOT true Horror fans. To enjoy the story more, trade places with the kidnapped female. Also a 'Gore Fiends' pleasure. Associated with the Great Toby Hooper. Oh by the way, I do not live in the basement of my parents house (like some of you Jack-Ass's). I own my own home and am married. I rate this movie the Horror/Kung-Fu Theatre way, from 0 to 13 Skulls. I give it a 10 Skull rating. The Nightshadow.

Where to start with this one? The story. Well there really doesn't seem to be one, it is just a hotch potch of gore, (The gore is pretty nasty - I'll give it that.The acting, well 1 out 10 for that too, pretty bad really, none of the actors had any character, probably didn't help that the plot, script etc. was terrible.The more I watched, the worse it got, it is just a mess really, I cannot imagine why anyone would think that this was worth making into a movie in the first place.Give it a wide berth, not worth wasting 90 minutes of your life on.

I think am the second person for a review on this film well lets go. First of all the plot its there but you have to figure it out be open minded bit slow and boring at the beginning does not make much sense considering the direction the film takes after about 20 Min's then the gloves are off it turns in to a blood bath of torture and gore this where the film stands alone for the budget the make up effects are incredible all the body parts are well thought out the anatomy to me seems dead on (no doctor)all the money for budget seems to be spent on make up and it works you can make a bad movie look good with a great effects and this has got it in buckets i also found the end credits very very well done lots of different shots of the film and some stop motion very clever indeed this why five stars i wish i could give it more but the beginning and some stupid bits in the middle let it down for a higher score (spoiler)the other reviewer said he did not know why it was called coffin baby the killer was called coffin baby he was born in a coffin when his mother died (when you see his face you can guess the rest) bye for now if you watch enjoy
