Yoda the demon baby wreaks havoc on its family members
Links: AFFF / imdb
Searching for your biological family only leads to suffering and pain, that much becomes clear while watching this film. Quite an achievement since the film tries to tell a serious emotional story about a daughter trying to reconnect with her father and mother she never knew, but goes overboard with the mutilated baby Tamami. This baby is a hybrid between the fighting Yoda from episode II and one of the Gremlins - and incidentally has a hand the size of her own head.
What annoyed me most about this film were the signs that the film makers were genuinely trying to convey more than a monster story. Cue overly emotional scenes and music, shots of angelic statues, the nursery rhyme that keeps on coming back, etcetera. This clearly did not work for me, there was hardly any character development or otherwise interesting moments.

description: Teenage mutant ninja baby, sweet 15 year old girl, mom, dad, grandma, guy from orphanage, dolls, museum, tower
(Geoffrey): (rating 5)
Here we have a sweet girl of 15 years from an orphanage who finally is found by her father and is brought home. At home she finds a mother who refuses to remember her, since she only has one child, Tamami. Then we have a grandmother (or whatever she is), telling the sweet girl continuously that she is not welcome. We have a father how loves her and we have her twin sister, the evil mutant demon baby from hell.
The movie has some of a ghost horror vibe, ending like a bad Chucky spin-off. For instance, Tamami tries to catch her sister. The problem is that she has no legs and one big arm/hand. She uses that to jump after her. I felt like singing "Jump around" from House of Pain. When nearing the end of the movie, I knew that Tamami had to be a ninja, the way she moved through the trees. Tamami is the ninja baby, her sister is a do-good food soldier. One of the best scene is where Tamami takes a leap and you see here in the center of the big moon. It was like ET vs Chucky acting like Tarzan.
Actually the movie is quite bad, but since it had some rediculous comedy here and there I give it a 5 anyway. The best acting is the sweet child, she really is a sweet child....:-)

How serious does this film take itself? Everything I have to say about it depends on this answer. Am afraid though, that it'd be "very".
Many "There's a light, over at the Frankenstein place" moments. Cheesy effects. The gruesome baby - really, kids _are_ ugly y'know - is shown in full detail relatively early in the film. "Wonderful! Scary!" the makers must've thought, and decided to repeat it again and again.
The innocent, big-eyed beautiful sister could have been cruelly mutilated and killed for all I cared. All she did was screaming. Why suddenly return after 15 years and burden your family with your presence? What's wrong with a nice orphanage? Just let her die. We could've been sipping espresso lungos in the sun.

This movie begins slow, with strange noises in a big house in the woods. A girl is orphaned due to the war 15 years ago (the story is set in 1960) Her father finds her again in an ophanage and the girl is taken home again. There the strange noises start. After the first, spooky, half the film shifts in a higher gear and blood starts to flow. Fun to watch.
