Its modest (if occasionally gross-out) stabs at genre parody rarely insult our intelligence and even allow for the kind of retro deadpan silliness Mel Brooks used to underline his louder punch lines. Read full review

It’s modest, scrappy, and resourceful, a low-budget comedy that makes the most of a central setting and a cast packed with gifted improvisers. Read full review

The movie is delightfully crude in places (including an instance of relay puking) and just plain silly-clever in others. Read full review

Given Garant and Lennon’s background on “The State” and “Reno 911,” their scattershot approach as filmmakers isn’t especially surprising; for every oddly specific Shakespeare reference or detour to the local po-boy joint, there’s an ongoing parade of puke and an awful rubber suit with which to contend.

Like bad houseguests, the creators of Hell Baby overstay their welcome. Read full review

Hell Baby is what happens when you try to parody a parody. The result is a film that's less than half as funny as its predecessor, and a sliver as clever as the original. Read full review

Tedious and tasteless in equal measure, the lazy horror parody Hell Baby gives grossout comedy a bad name. Read full review

Being an avid horror movie fan and not having seen a decent horror comedy in a very very long time. I couldn't stop laughing at the poke they made at cheap scare tactics employed in 'ordinary' horrors these days, I feel exactly the same way. A serious thanks to the folks for making this movie, it made my day.

It shoots from the hip from beginning to end and those easily offended will rate this as a negative, there's no hiding from that. Its about time someone got it right and these guys are awesome. Much much enjoyed!… Expand

This isn't a very good horror comedy at all. The humour was botched, the acting is pretty much what you would expect from a movie like that and it was boring. While I didn't hate myself while watching the movie and there were a couple of bloody scenes, this movie was still a miss and IThis isn't a very good horror comedy at all.

This film is a step better than Scary Movie V. There is just not enough laughs in Hell Baby to make it a good comedy. I like some of the actors involved in this, but unfortunately this is not a good film. D
