5/10
One of Fulci's Later and Certainly Lesser Films
10 February 2024
Manhattan Baby is what happens when Indiana Jones meets The Exorcist. I cannot say if I would enjoy this film more had I seen it at a younger and more impressionable time in my life (like watching House by the Cemetery in my early teens) but this one's a great big bore.

Also, hellishly, Bob's back from the previously mentioned cemetery house and he's even more annoying this go round.

I can't say enough about this 80s horror flick because there's so very little to say. A small girl with a big necklace becomes a menace to society after her privileged family does a plundering tour of Egypt. I find Roman Polanski's usage of Egyptology much more effective in the 1976 apartment horror The Tenant.

The Beyond, House by the Cemetery, Seven Notes in Black and Don't Torture a Duckling are all much better Fulci fims.
