Why be alone this Valentine’s Day Weekend when you can snuggle up with your very own codependent parasite that telepathically commands you to K*ll?Heralding twelve years of explosive film programming at the historic Hollywood Theatre, Wyrd War invites YOU to taste the blood of Alain Robak’s unsung French body horror masterpiece BABY BLOOD (1990) for one night only on Friday February 13th.
In the unnerving tradition of David Cronenberg’s SHIVERS (1975) and Larry Cohen’s IT’S ALIVE (1974), BABY BLOOD stars the magnetic Emmanuelle Escourrou as Yanka, a young circus performer who becomes host to a primordial parasite intelligence that demands human blood to survive. Pregnant and on the run through the decrepit streets and squats of northern France, Yanka encounters threats at every turn and seduces men to their grisly deaths as she is compelled to deliver an increasingly domineering parasite to the sea where it can hide, grow and eventually conquer the planet. Astoundingly violent, hilariously subversive and immensely satisfying, BABY BLOOD is an underseen exploitation gem with deceptive intelligence and sweeping cinematic style. French language with English subtitles.
