“A deep and unnerving supernatural horror that lives up to its name with gallons of blood and brutal murder scenes.” - Morbidly Beautiful

Channelling the splatter gore of David Cronenberg, Frank Henenlotter and Peter Jackson’s early work, this French body horror has to be seen to be believed! 

When Yanka (Emmanuelle Escourrou), the put-upon wife of a cruel circus owner, is infected with a parasitic creature from the dawn of creation, she soon develops unnatural cravings.

Not only that, but the parasite is able to talk to Yanka and demands that she brings it blood, so that it can feed and grow…Now this reluctantly expectant mommy and her chatty mutant fetus are off on a cross-country killing spree, where pre-natal care means violent carnage.

Rarely screened in the UK, Baby Blood is a rare grisly treat for horror fans with incredible special effects and boundary-pushing gore that feels like it’s one part Basket Case and one part Titane.

Content warning: Contains scenes of attempted sexual assault 

The film will be introduced by Isabelle Cocozza, Editor of Culture Film Publication.

This film will be screened in its original French language and will be subtitled.
