Japanese Cheezefest (SPOILERS)


It starts out promising. Yoko, An fifteen year old girl who was believed to have been an orphan is finally found by her father. She is taken home by someone from the orphanage. When they get there, it's a creepy old scary mansion. And the inhabitants are just as creepy.

Right away, Yoko is stalked and terrorized by something and she keeps hearing a baby crying. The weird housekeeper denies there's a baby. And Yoko's mother, is completely insane and walks around with a teddybear wrapped up like a baby. She calls the teddybear Tamami.

Tamami, however, is very real. The mother hides Tamami in a strange crawlspace of the house. Tamami is the super baby from hell.

Yoko's father thought Tamami was dead. But when he discovers she has been hidden in the house, Tamami kills him.

And now, Tamami is free to go after Yoko.

This movie gets so incredibly cheezy. Tamami has these vampire/ghoul teeth and one clawed adult hand. Tamami can jump like a frog and kind of fly through the air like a muppet. And Tamami likes to bite necks. These scenes are just hysterical. It's like fighting a flying babydoll from hell.

It's not all that worth a watch, but if you're bored and like Asian horror, give it a try.

I saw it last night, and yes it gets cheesy, but I really enjoyed it. It's a fun movie with some nice gore. Some parts of it made me think of Evil Dead mixed with a bit of Basket Case.
