I had heard a few good things about "Devil Fetus", but unfortunately it didn't live up to any of the hype for me. Pretty much Dullsville without all the gore people had mentioned in the reviews I had read a while back.There's something to do with a vase that is bought at some Chinese auction. The chick who buys it starts getting all horned up and when her businessman hubby comes home to find her getting boned by a demon, he smashes the vase and his face gets all rotted and maggot-covered. Then he jumps out the window. Cut to years later, there's some spells, a couple of brothers who were around when the sh|t at the beginning went down and a love interest. One of the brothers becomes possessed by the malevolent demon from before and some random sh|t happens...The plot of this thing was SO f*cking arbitrary and disjointed. Definitely a weak example of CATIII cinema that did nothing for me. You got a worm-filled birthday cake, a dude munching on the guts of his dead German Shepherd and some ridiculous 'showdown' between the possessed guy and a samurai wizard - complete with laser-beams shot from eyeballs. It's all just so stupid and boring. Avoid.More Gorepump reviews at http://swinesewage.blogspot.com/

The story of a demon spirit (or devil) possessing and terrorizing a very unfortunate family. There's a little backstory to this but basically this is the main theme. And even though it's a simple story, the flick delivers more than enough fun for any fan of HK craziness.With a certifiably evil spirit, some sorcery battles, and even some genuine chills, Devil Fetus delivered a whole lot more than I was anticipating. Just a couple parts where the movie dragged and a possible, stupid Eagle slaying (if real), had me bored and kinda upset. But with a horny, disgusting, slimy devil trying to get some missionary action with any chick on the menu, it easily makes you forget about any boring parts.If you're a fan of weirdo hybrid genre flicks, this is almost a must-see. Give it a look-see if you're hunkering for a Devil, a Fetus, and some Hong Kong sorcery magic. Also, the ending ain't too shabby either. Oh, one other thing, if you have the ability to watch it with surround sound, don't hesistate. This flick has some awesome sound effects and music that will shake the hell outta you and the room you're watching it in. 7.5 outta 10

With a terrific title and its Cat III rating, I was hoping that Devil Fetus would be the ideal antidote to some of the dreadful US horror output that I have seen recently. Unfortunately, with an incomprehensible story and risible effects, this low-budget Hong Kong effort is hard-going, even for a fan of bad movies like me.A woman buys a strange jade vase, which the seller says will bring her good luck. However, in reality, a nasty randy demon resides within the ornament and emerges from time to time to get it on with its new owner. When the woman's husband comes home to find the slimy creature banging his missus, he smashes the vase, releasing the monster in a cloud of smoke. The husband's face rots away and both he and his wife wind up dead.At their funeral, a priest witnesses the dead woman giving birth to the demon's offspring and attempts to trap it using magic. This works for a while, but inevitably, the 'devil fetus' is eventually freed and sets out to cause all sorts of trouble...From hereon in, things get kind of confusing (thanks to dreadful direction and lousy editing), with the creature possessing various people (and animals) and 'jumping' from host to host when necessary, and I found it a struggle to remain interested. When the viewing of a film takes me three consecutive nights to complete, I know it's a stinker! For those who manage to stay the distance, there is some half decent gore (my favourite moment being a head which is squished against a pane of glass), a couple of iffy moments involving real animals suffering for their art, and a whole shed-load of shonky visual effects (which include laser-beam eyes, flying furniture and what I can only describe as a multiple tentacled-head attack!).But for those looking for truly a satisfying outrageous and gory piece of Cat III fun, I would definitely recommend trying elsewhere.

A birthday cake full of worms; a possessed maniac eating the entrails of an (real) exhumed German Shepard; a slimy green demon forcing himself on helpless women; a man squished to death by the walls of a sauna. Few other movies… OK, no other movies can boast the awful but inventive gross-outs in Hong Kong filmmaker Hung Chuen Lau's Devil Fetus.The madness begins when a woman is compelled to buy a rather phallic-looking jade statue at an auction. When she brings it home its demonic sexual power takes hold, and her husband catches her fondling it in bed. After making quick work of him, it turns on her. An old mystic finally imprisons a baby ant-eater in a shrine, but years later one of the couple's sons' girlfriends accidentally breaks the seal, reawakening the curse. The demon possesses the family dog before literally beaming into the younger son, who sets about killing, molesting and eating whoever he can get his mitts on. There's something kind of admirable about the way it just charges ahead with its nastiness, leaving plot details behind, like "we could explain this, but isn't the unknown scarier, anyway, and, besides, it would waste valuable time that could be spent revolting you."Influenced by UNCLE SAM (1997) and shaped by early-'80s special effects, Devil Fetus also features a have-to-see-it-to-believe-it exorcism full of fiery swords, animated eye laser beams, and flying puppets. It's a must-see for fans of good old-fashioned low-budget special effects and fearless Asian cinema.
