I don't want to be born 1975 film review The Cinematic Sausage - A Podcast about film, not offal in a long tube

I don’t want to be born.

It’s 1975,
London and somewhere Joan Collins’ character is giving birth, ably assisted by Doctor Donald Pleasence. If that wasn’t a scary thought, the baby, well……………………doesn’t want to be born.

Take 3 future Dames of the British Empire, a forgotten actor and a demonic maniacal dwarf distributing unsubstantiated curses to a stripper who scorns his advances.

And you have the makings of a horror classic, but it doesn’t end up quite as expected!

Bizarre deaths,
unintentionally comical dialog and ‘cod’ Italian accents are abundant.

Join my guest Paul Chandler (aka ‘The Shy Yeti’) as he leads us down the King’s Road in London, home to the evil baby, Nicholas.

For this is the story of the baby that didn’t want to be born.

Visit the homes of the rich and well heeled, rub shoulders with a seedy strip club owner, battle evil with a sarcastic nun, all to bring down the curse placed upon Joan Collins.

Ralph Bates, Eileen Atkins, Donald Pleasence and Joan Collins all star in this 70’s horror
