This week’s installment comes from France circa 1990. This title is not excessively hard to track down, but yet is another that many horror fans may have missed or overlooked. I present to you... Baby Blood.
I must confess even I missed this title. I did not discover it until last year when I was pregnant. Though many women may, rightfully so, chose not to watch pregnancy-themed horror films while they have a bun in the oven, my sick brain was drawn to them. After viewing Rosemary’s Baby, The Devil Within, and It’s Alive, I found myself searching for something rare, something I had never seen before. Thus, I found Baby Blood. Written and directed by Alan Robak, Baby Blood focuses on a circus performer named Yanka. After being abused by her lover she flees the circus and sets out on her own. Yanka thinks she is pregnant...

Yanka is a deeply depressed circus performer who suffers at the hands of her abusive boyfriend. To make matters worse, she discovers that she is pregnant.
One day, a new leopard is delivered to the circus, but during the night, a creature bursts out of the animal and makes its way to Yanka's room where it enters her body and takes over her baby. Yanka knows she has to get away from the abuse, but once on the run, the creature begins talking to her, and demanding that she kill and drink the blood of her victims so that it can grow. At first, Yanka is reluctant, but she soon finds out that this creature has the power to cause her tremendous pain, so she eventually complies. This leads to a love/hate relationship between Yanka and the unborn monster inside as she goes on...

The Final Girl: A Few Thoughts on Feminism and Horror By Donato Totaro
One of the more important, if not groundbreaking, accounts/recuperations of the horror film from a feminist perspective is the 1993 Carol Clover's "Men, Women, and Chainsaws". One of the book's major points concerns the structural positioning of what she calls the Final Girl in relation to spectatorship. While most theorists label the horror film as a male-driven/male-centered genre, Clover points out that in most horror films, especially the slasher film, the audience, male and female, is structurally 'forced' to identify with the resourceful young female (the Final Girl) who survives the serial attacker and usually ends the threat (until the sequel anyway.) So while the narratively dominant killer's subjective point of view may be male within the narrative,the male viewer is still rooting for the Final Girl to overcome the killer. We can see this...

I’ve been following this one for a long time. The sequel to Alain Robak’s Baby Blood has been announced a few months ago and it looks like it’s finally coming around. Lady Blood is scheduled to play at the American Film Market before starting a French theatrical release in January. The good people at Alterego Films just sent us a teaser you can find below the break in the Twitch Player. By the way, is it me or the posters on the official site really awesome ?
Seventeen years later, Yanka is a mother and a chief of police. She’s a fulfilled woman, in love with her husband and happy with her daughter and mother-in-law. Everything is going great until a strange occurrence disturbs her new life. With the help of her psychiatrist husband, she tries to convince herself that it’s just a nightmare. But it gets worse every day…...

Fango heard from the producers at Alterego Films, who passed on the international poster seen below for their soon-to-premiere shocker Lady Blood. They also let us know that an official website has opened for the movie here, where a teaser trailer can be seen.
Set to premiere at next month’s American Film Market and represented for worldwide distribution by DC Medias, Lady is the sequel to Alain Robak’s Baby Blood (a.k.a. The Evil Within), following the further adventures of Yanka (returning Emmanuelle Escourrou), who once harbored an unborn child that compelled her to kill. Now happily married to a psychiatrist and working as a chief of police, she finds her life becoming a nightmare again when she investigates crimes that bear a gruesome resemblance to those she committed while under the evil baby’s influence. Jean-Marc Vincent directed the film, and scripted with Escourrou and Hubert Chardot...
