Cheap English horror with very little to recommend about
it.
The title makes little sense, since the film begins with a
"demon child" being born, then the film becomes a monotonous series of relentless dream sequences with Joan Collins and a murderous dwarf who may or may not be possessing the newborn child (the
bizarre direction makes this quite unclear).
Complete and utter garbage, serving as a ripoff to Rosemary's
Baby, Don't Look Now and The Exorcist, but really poorly done.
2/10
