Moving into a supposedly haunted house, an expectant couple finds the house has a strange affect on her and her unborn twins and eventually forces them to call upon help from the Vatican to combat the evil within the house.While this one maybe quite enjoyable in terms of being a horror/comedy, there's still some big flaws here with this one. The main issue here is the fact that the film feels way too loose and chaotic, as if there's nothing on-hand but a group of friends riffing around and ad-libbing the entire time without making anything make sense. This doesn't feel like a true, cohesive effort here as not only is behavior completely different from scene-to-scene with no real cause for what's happening at all, but the way the whole thing is treated like a joke tends to make light of the situation as horror elements are all dropped in favor of the all- mighty joke when it's really not all that funny, itself another problem here. It comes off like a series of in-jokes and references between friends goofing off on-set rather than anything to do with an actual story, and that causes a ton of the jokes to fall flat when they're not beating them into the ground wearing out its welcome either. These tend to cause a rather overlong series of gags that aren't funny to begin with and become increasingly agonizing as they go along, though in spite of these problems there's some good here as well. Sometimes, the fact is that the gags and jokes work, especially when spoofing the traditional confines of the haunted house effort of him continually bumping into everything in the house after it was moved there unexpectedly, his battles with the lamp that continually shock him or the numerous hilarious gags with the exorcists that come in through the last half here which give this one quite a fun ride as the battle with the demon baby in the bedroom is quite fun and exciting, while packed with some nice action and some nice gory kills to make for a nice time here. Likewise, once this kicks into the third act preparing for the actual birth there's some fun to be had here with the way these signal her upcoming change and aren't nearly as boringly moronic as the rest of the film is. These, along with the rather up-beat pace that regardless of the quality of the jokes running throughout never causes this one to lose its pace allows it to come off rather well and makes for its good parts to overcome its few flaws.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Full Graphic Nudity, Graphic Violence, sexual acts and drug use.

This movie is a very good example of the horror/comedy or dark comedy genre. It has a very talented and recognizable cast (even if they are not A list actors). It is basically meant to be a celebration and parody of the majority of modern horror films, much like "Scary Movie". However, this seems more fresh and original than the "Scary Movie" series has been lately. It hits on ever modern stereotype of horror, so do expect a few jump scares. This movie is not meant to be taken seriously so i would not suggest it to a person wanting a real horror film... That being said, this is a very funny movie and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh.

While I'm only forking over a six for HELL BABY, I have to admit that there were a couple of times that I laughed aloud: the sheer Absurdity of it makes it hard not to like- and Rob Corddry, an actor whose face I recognized, was the perfect choice to play the husband. In fact, it's because of Corddry that I coughed up (puked up? vomited up? regurgitated...?) six points. The RENO 911-Father Guido Sarducci team I could've lived without, although they had the potential to have been the funniest thing(s) about the movie. Poor writing and uninspired performances worked against them. The real star of the movie is The Baby, who comes out swinging. Not since IT'S ALIVE have we seen a tot as terrible.

I was hoping the movie would have some decent comedy, but it does not, only very dry or lame humor, and the acting was not much better. To be honest, it reminded me of something a five year old would have written, but then again, I know some five year olds who are more comedic than the writer and director of this movie; it is really this bad. I have watched many comedies in my time, and this does not come close to any of their caliber. I consider the Evil Dead movies bad humor and acting, but it would rate a ten next to this movie. Maybe, if they had a screen writer and director, who knew what true comedy really was, the movie may have been better, well, it would have been, but evidently, the writer did not know how to write anything funny, and the director is to blame for the bad acting, its as simple as that.
