4/10
Split over this.

Warning: Spoilers
You don't get the demon babies until 49 min in and the more you see of them, the more it's obvious why since they look pretty bad when completely revealed. Just their teeth and tentacles, their wombs opening, etc. Look fine but the full shots are quite silly. I think the melodrama with the wives is a bit boring too and I was hoping the opening might have the babies attack or something but it takes forever to get to that. I did actually like the budding romance between Six and Yu. Surprisingly I also really enjoyed Anthony Wong in this. He's very funny here whereas in a lot of other CATIII films, his over-the-top performances tend to annoy me but here I actually think he was hilarious. The few hopping zombies are fun too. I'll be honest I was hoping for a little nudity but it's extremely dry in that department and it does take too long to get to the good stuff. But hey, maybe you'll get more of it like the other reviewer. I think in hindsight it is rather unique (almost like Raise the Red Lantern meets a monster baby movie) and I do like the ballsy dark ending. I just wish it was more entertaining and delivered more on the monster front. The horror isn't really horrifying at all. It's very cheesy but if you know that going in, you might enjoy it a lot more.
