12/12/12 (2012)

So much average

Excellent but underrated film

A Masterpiece!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the worse films made by Asylum. I am a lover of their bad films and this one tickled my funny bone.The DVD cover similar to "Rosemary's Baby" leaves no mystery as to the identity of the baby. The film opens with a Mayan calendar, some Bible verses, and words spoken about pharaohs just to cover all the bases. Our "Damien" or Sebastian in this case is born C-section, the kind of C-section where they use no anesthetic and the mother (Sara Malakul Lane) cries in pain.Our infant, which looks like an ugly prop from a David Lynch film, was apparently inspired by the bunny in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" as he can fly around and grab people by the jugular with his long razor sharp teeth. In spite of the kid having teeth and clearing out the birthing room in a deadly fashion, mom ignores it all and opts to breast feed...ouch!12/12/12 is something that is used by a doomsday cult, most likely because my nephew born on 6/6/66 is boring and sells insurance.The detective (Steve Hanks) has a fondness for lollipops...Oh where did the writers come up with that?!This is a low budget film that goes absolutely no where. The plot doesn't flow well and is haphazard. The dialouge and acting was bad, but if you are going to use bad actors, rule of thumb is to use pretty D-cup women so us guys won't care...thanks Asylum.This is a great film for bad Asylum film lovers as the budget and special effects are worse than usual.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, rape, nudity (Sara Malakul Lane, Bonnie Grinberg) 7-9 stars for Asylum fans, 1 star for non-fans.

I watched this via Netflix so fortunately, didn't pay specifically for this movie. I had never heard of it but the summary seemed good.Anyways, it all went down hill during the birth of the baby. You may as well turn it off the TV right there and then. The baby is born and latches on to the doctor and bites his neck, killing him and then jumps to the nurse, latches on to the nurse and kills her.That's just the beginning of this terrible film. It just gets worse and more boring. The film is low budget and it shows with terrible special effects. Terrible directing, terrible filming. The storyline is also garbage and the acting is amateur.Should have never been made into a film.

When baby Sebastian is born on 12/12/12 everyone around him starts to die. Soon, his mother realizes that her son is the spawn of Hell.Please, keep the camera steady! Or at least level! If I am going to watch a bad movie (bad acting, bad effects, bad everything else) at least keep the camera in such a way that I can actually view it without getting seasick.The only redeeming part of this film was the postal carrier who calls the demon baby a "half hemorrhoid, half herpe" and says he would "kick it down a trash chute" if it was his baby. Wow. Such harsh words for a child (not as bad for a demon, but he does not know the kid is evil)!

After watching the entire movie I decided to give it a 3 because it was boring and defiantly had no plot or good climax. The ending made no sense and I disagree with Paul about it being fun to watch. In my eyes, I would have preferred the story line to make more sense, and Sebastian needed to look more realistic. Overall, if your bored, and want to watch a baby eat peoples necks, then buy it, other than that, I really wouldn't recommend watching this film. Even if the makers had short budgeting, they should not have made this film. I hope that this is the only film Asylum made that was terrible, their other movies looked interesting, but this one just wasted my time.
