A wonderful independent film with an original plot, humor and decent acting. I had a great evening, thanks to the creators!

A clumsy film with a classic E.T. or Harry and the Hendersons type plot where adults supposed to be playing kids get into misadventures trying to hide a runaway science experiment from corporate slimeballs and other losers. Baby Frankenstein just manages to clear unwatchable status, mostly thanks to the charming titular character and the unintentional entertainment that comes with trash-tier filmmaking. Speaking of trashy, there are too many pointless lowbrow attempts at comedy and other adult themes to make this a family movie. The bizarre attempt of the producer to make a film using a screenplay which clearly had roles intended for child actors and replacing them with adults does not really appeal to any target audience. Perhaps it was made as an intentionally bad film, but it fails to capture the magic of something like The Room or Con Games. Try it if you like things that are stupid.

The film takes place in Wilkes-Barre as a family moves into a duplex and immediately doesn't get along with the neighbor. By nine minutes into the film, we discover that during the age of Clemente the Lundquist company lost a "prototype." This was discovered and "activated" in the attic of the new home which was locked. (Who buys a house without looking in all the rooms first?) Lundquist gets a signal the prototype is activated using 1960's technology? The "baby" is actually more like a toddler. Rance Nix must be really hungry to degrade himself to this level. A teen couple tries to help the creature avoid capture during the Halloween season, shades of ET. The film is akin to a PG-13 comedy for preteens. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Seriously, one of the most painful movies I've ever seen. It's like watching the worst parts of David DeCoteau and Fred Olen Ray in one single piece. Awful, just awful: after you've seen this one, any other movie you'll lay your eyes on in the future (and I mean ANY other movie) will look at least 20% better than it actually is.
