joan collins play a stripper name lucy . at the club and a dwarf worker try to sexually molest her . she spurn him and he curse her to have a baby possess by the devil . a few year later she out of the business and happily marry to gino ( ralph bates . ) and pregnant . the baby be bear ( after an extremely harsh delivery ) and immediately start act violently . it scratch and spit and bite and start kill people . what to do . it a good thing gino sister be a nun and sister albana ( eileen atkins ) and and have a few idea . this be reasonably well direct and look great and have some good acting . but that it . collins be just fantastic in her role while donald pleasance equally good a the baby doctor and atkins ( wisely ) doesn not take her role too seriously . but who think have ralph bates play an italian be a good idea . he look miserable and his accent be hilarious . atkins ( who be also british ) do a good job of it but every time she say devil it sound like davel and be ( unintentionally . ) hysterical . and caroline munro be on hand in a nothing part but she look just great . the script be dull dull dull . there not enough material here for 90 minute . it fill with people endlessly repeat the same line ( i hear the baby be so big so many time i be ready to scream . ) and have ton of filler with people walk around . i get so bore after an hour i basically start to fast forward through this . the baby attack aren not really show ( until the end ) we always see the aftermath and we never see the baby do it . also and the film be relatively bloodless until the last 15 minute which throw in a couple of nice gory murder but it too little too late . all that leave about this movie be some very good acting and a very cute look baby . that aside forget it . rent rosemary baby instead you will be much good off .
