Brilliant and touching

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a pretty dumb movie....but my best friend and I laughed so hard it hurt the entire time and it was worth the watch. It is kind of like Birdemic:shock and terror in that sense. It is super cheesy. When I saw the thumbnail on Netflix, the movie looked pretty creepy. I was hoping for an eerie doll killer movie, but the doll is just too funny for words. Give it a watch yourself.The plot is also a confusing mess. They replay this CGI animation over and over through the film. This is one of the worst horror movies I have seen since Alter Ego and fear house. The best part of the movie is the sage like homeless guy that knows all.

Sure, this film is nothing spectacular, but come on. It's a film about a haunted doll. If you started this film expecting something grandiose, then of course you'll be disappointed.I went into this expecting a nice little horror flick with a doll. And I got what I wanted. The pacing was nice, the acting was good and the overall execution was pretty spot-on for the genre.A woman is expecting twins, one dies during childbirth and the mother suffers with the delusion that the doll is her other son because no one told her that one of her sons died. Is it the doll causing it? Is it all in the mother's mind? This movie does what Chinese horror does: gives you a nice little spook with some realism tossed in to make it more - I dunno - believable? If I had to give one gripe, it would be the very end - and I mean the last few seconds. Those who have seen it know what I'm referring to. Everything in this movie was what I like with East Asian horror, then that tidbit happens, which is so American. But, like I said, I still enjoyed this flick.Don't go in expecting something like Child's Play because it's nothing like that. Don't go in expecting a slasher. Go in expecting a movie about a haunted doll with some psychological elements thrown into the mix.

Movies like "Baby Blues" seriously make me angry. Who makes this kind of garbage and why, and – most importantly – what were the good people of the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Films thinking to schedule this piece of crap on a Saturday evening at 11 pm?!? This film is absolutely nothing at all! A horror flick without frights, a thriller without thrills and a family drama without emotion. The festival wrongfully advertises "Baby Blues" as a taut thriller in which Chucky's Chinese cousin wreaks havoc in Hong Kong. Yeah, right. This is a nonsensical and totally boring story about a horrible young couple (he composes pop music, she writes a blog for girls) that moves into a new house and finds an ugly left behind doll. Obviously the doll homes some sort of malignant spirit, but it must be the most boring one ever. The doll inspires the husband to write twisted songs (oh, so scary!) and occasionally points out its finger in the audience's direction. When the wife loses one of her twin babies during the delivery, she sinks into a postnatal depression and sees the doll as her stillborn baby. The plot is dumb, the characters are irritating and nothing makes any sense. Also, this is yet another lousy 3D flick where the 3D effects haven't got any added value whatsoever! The 3D was just a stupid excuse to make us purchase special glasses and spend extra money, bah! Don't waste any time or money on this rubbish, just as I won't waste anymore words on it.
