Like a con artist with many aliases, this movie played under so many different titles. I happen to catch it on Screenpix, under the title: It Lives Within Her, obviously produced, to cash in on the successes of The Omen, Rosemary's Baby, and The Exorcist, but in this case lets throw in some burlesque stripers, (for that all tantalizing, gratuitous tities shot), and the cherry on top… A demonic midget? an absurd, silly movie that doubles down in its sheer stupidity. With the help of the straight face, A list actors, this campy, care-free film does manage to be watchable, was this kookiness intentional? will never know…Was it fun to watch? Absolutely

Awful, cheesy movie, "I Don't Want To Be Born", or whatever name it goes under, is only marginally saved by Joan Collins' bad acting and the various shots of 1970's London. The story - a woman repulses a dwarf's advances who then curses her to have a 'giant' baby - makes no sense. The film just spirals from one bad scene to the next with the preposterous murders not really piling up until the very end. The film has some gratuitous T&A which can not distract from the wooden performance across the board, including Donald Plesance. If you're going to watch this abomination, be ready to fast forward.

Joan Collins has baby that's been cursed by a dwarf; as silly as it sounds.

Joan Collins and Ralph Bates (playing Italian ... with a thick accent) have a monstrously big baby that misbehaves violently ... biting Collins in the face when they are still in the hospital, throwing stuff around his nursery, etc. Collins, a former stripper, tells her stripper friend Caroline Munro (who sadly does not strip in this film), how a midget whose sexual advances she spurned cursed her to have a monster baby. The devil may also be involved somehow ... I don't know. With this crazy plot, a cast that also includes Donald Pleasence as Collins' doctor and John Steiner as a strip club owner, and a director who made a couple of smashing Hammer films, I really wanted to like this film. For a while I did, as I let the sleazy craziness wash over me and studiously ignored the shoddy awfulness of the whole thing. Sadly, I could not continue turning a blind eye to just how bloody awful this is. When the baby apparently jumps into a tree, ties a rope into a noose and hangs Bates to death ... no, just ... no. Hilary Mason, the blind sister from "Don't Look Now" is also present ... so much potential wasted.

What a total bore. I only watched because the synopsis was "a stripper thwarts the advances of a dwarf and winds up with a baby possessed by the devil." What I should have realized is that in 1975 if it isn't the Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, or The Omen, and it is about devil births that it probably blows.
