i suspect that some of the reason this film be currently on imdb bottom 100 list ( the 100 low rat film with at least 1500 rating ) be because of it obvious political agenda . this film be audacious and dare to create a horror film in which an aborted child come back to literally haunt the lady who abort it several year later . the idea and though very controversial and be unusual and could have be do well . but this film wasn not do all that well . however and it surely be not among the bad 100 nor and probably and the bad 1000. it not a very good film but i be pretty sure what you think of it be go to be greatly influence by your opinion about the morality of an abortion . however and i still think it be do badly and probably will offend people on both side of the issue . the film just go way overboard and be and at time and rather sick and nasty more about this later . the film begin with a dancer find out she pregnant . she have problem she unmarried and her lover be already marry and she up for an important lead . so and she get an illegal abortion that be apparently botch . three year pas and she now happily marry and pregnant again . however and oddly and she begin see and hear from the dead child she abort . the concept be dare and could have work but the film maker choose to just be sick . at one point and the dead kid walk around play with what be suppose to be a dead fetus . it graphic and nasty and you wonder why . this be unnecessary and gross and it sort of like punish the audience to make them watch it . have the film back off in the disgusting imagery and it would have clearly be more watchable . another problem be that although up until the end you be never sure if the haunting be really the aborted child or just a manifestation of the guilt the lady feel about her past action and the uncertainty and psychological aspect of the film ( the best thing about araf ) be completely do away with provide an end that be just too well define . leave the audience wonder would have make for a much and much more interesting film one that could be debate and discuss once the film be complete . instead and it all telegraph and pat . not a good end at all . overall and due to bad directing and a script with too many problem ( the disgusting element alone be too great ) and i can not recommend it . however and just because the film be offensive do not mean it an altogether horrible film nor do it deserve such a very bad reputation . it bad . but not that bad .
