Hell Baby

Plot

An expectant couple move into a haunted fixer-upper in New Orleans. There, they encounter a neighbour named F'resnel who tells them about the bloody history of their house.

Vanessa (Leslie Bibb) and her husband, Jack (Rob Corddry), exhibiting a certain carelessness in their house hunting, buy a foreboding wreck of a place in New Orleans that the local residents have given demonic nicknames like "House of Blood". Vanessa is already extremely pregnant when they move in, and soon she is talking like the kid in The Exorcist. The Vatican sends some ghost hunters (Mr. Lennon and Mr. Garant).

Reception

The film received mixed to negative reviews, with score of 32% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 34 critic reviews and 41% on Metacritic, as of May 2016. Rotten Tomatoes's consensus says," Though its brand of immature comedy may appeal to some, Hell Baby misses the mark with much of its humor, rendering it a largely ineffective -- and often crass -- genre sendup."

Badass Digest called the movie "silly, lowbrow, and funny." CraveOnline called it a "triumph of independence" and a "genuinely hilarious farce." TheDissolve said, "Hell Baby falls unmistakably on the “comedy” side of the horror-comedy divide. It isn’t overly concerned with being scary, just with delivering a steady stream of laughs."

Deadline.com wrote that the movie was acquired by Millennium Films for U.S. Distribution and is slated to be released in the Fall of 2013.
