You are illiterate and silly, and I'm guessing that you're not qualified to speculate on psychotherapy or psychiatry.

In fact I believe he is a pcychotherapist who takes hundreds $ for an hour and now tries to find new victims... I mean clients... by persuading people how badly have they been damaged during their childhood by terrible experiences like driving in a bus, listening to Bach or Lionel Richie, playing with a dog, or appearing in a movie...

HELL, there are so many little kids who do EXCELLENT in horror movies.


I agree with you wholeheartedly (even though I'm not into horror movies).

How about Daveigh Chase, who was twelve when The Ring came out? Not everyone knew her name, but I don't know how many times I heard, "that girl from The Ring was creepy!" around the time the movie came out.

Some keep doing thrillers even after that. Prettyface is about two girls who run crosscountry on horseback...and straight into the arms of the Manson family. Daveigh is one of the female leads, alongside Jack Nicholson's daughter, Lorraine.

I don't think She'll remember. Though I'm not even sure if that was even a real baby either.

Me either. But then again it might not've been a real baby.

Babies featuring in movies are bound by strict laws and one of those laws is that a baby can only be under the lights for a few minutes.

Secondly, newborners would not be used in movies, they are a few months old - hence why they always look on the large size.

Thirdly, from what I can gather, some newborn babies that are featured in movies are fake babies, robots, created for just such a job as a newborn in a film.

Babies (and children) will often be twins or triplets so that they can be switched about at the movie is being shot.

I would only be concerned over health risks, such as whether a premature baby was around that many crew members and could potentially get a virus they're not strong enough to fight yet. But with all of the laws surrounding how they use babies in movies, I doubt that would ever happen on the set of a Hollywood film. Babies are used all the time in commercials and other movies, so I see no problem with them using a baby for this one. Plus wouldn't it be awesome to grow up and learn you were once in an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?

Grow up please! That's what I have to say about it.

everyone should pay more attention to edits. it is called movie magic.
most of the shots of the REAL baby were close ups: carried, begin held, a scene in the delivery room... all very safe and protected... the scenes with the fake snake - cut in with close ups of a REAL snake - the baby on the dark table was doll like, or maybe moved once with a mechanical inside it.
No snake blood or real snake or dank, dark drippy cellar ever got near the real baby.
It is all in tight editing LEADING you to think it is all at the same place.
All movies do this all the time.

don't pay any atention to any of this shallow answers.i completely agree with u it's wrong to put kinds through this kinda stuff

there r no shortcuts in life.every shortcut leads to consequences that make us stray from our path

reply

Babies are protected by laws, so it's very safe. But would I let my baby play this role, nope.
