Cradle of Fear Trailers

A gruesome homage to the cult Amicus anthology Asylum, Cradle of Fear unfolds four screamplays all linked by the unspeakable need of an incarcerated child killer to wreak vengeance on those responsible for his imprisonment. Helped by deranged angel Dani Filth, who leaves a trail of charnel house death in his crimson wake, the cannibal convict forces two Goth vamps to endure a one night stand from hell, two tough female robbers to see through each other, an obscenely rich coke-head to chop up more than a few lines and an internet surfer to descend into madness when he uncovers the ultimate web depravity.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's got all it needs to be called a movie- a script, a soundtrack, actors, special effects. All of them terrible. I rated this a '1' because less than that is not possible. Seriously, this is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.

To the short: The effects are lazy and even funny, the acting are awful (reminded me of those Mexican soup-operas), the script is the worse... not even Dani Filth saved the screen.The only and one thing that COULD have been interesting was the fourth part, the one about the snuff website. I think the whole movie could have been about it, of course with decent acting and effect and WITHOUT Dani Flth (is not even a good singer, and it is worse as a actor).The plot of the snuff-site is good and the conclusion of it is very obvious but still interesting. With some treatment like the movies "Hostel" it would kick-ass.

The creators of this film should be stoned. And I don't mean in the weed way. They had so much going for them: creativity, style, talent - and they had to ruin it all with one scene. The number one rule of film-making, leave alone humanity, is that you do not depict violence against those who cannot defend themselves (ie. children & animals). This movie broke that rule on the later. Did the creators actually think they were cool for depicting the disembowelment of a stray cat and the demon protagonist eating it's entrails? It wasn't necessary, and it wasn't entertaining. Those responsible for this movie shouldn't be shocked when they are ostracized by common movie buffs, to horror fans alike.

In London, Detective Pete Neilson (Edmund Dehn) is investigating several bloody and gruesome murders with all the victims connected to the trial of the serial killer Kemper (David McEwen) that is interned in the Fenham Asylum.Melissa (Emily Bouffante) has one night stand with a sick man she met in a Gothic club and while going to the house her friend Natalie (Eileen Daly) on the next morning, she has the sensation that she is surrounded by demons. Sooner she finds that she carries an offspring of the man.Emma (Emma Rice) and Sophie (Rebecca Eden) go to the house of an old man to steal his money, but their robbery becomes violent when the dweller wakes up.Nick (Louie Brownsell) has a great complex with his beloved girlfriend Nikki (Melissa Forti) because his leg was amputated in an accident. He becomes deranged, gets a leg and forces his doctor to implant it, with tragic results.Richard Neilson (Stuart Laing), the son of Detective Neilson, works in an Internet company and becomes obsessed with snuff movies in a website, where the user can select the means of killing the victim, losing his job. When the site vanishes, Richard seeks information finding the truth about the movies."Cradle of Fear" is a collection of four original, erotic and gory horror tales. Using great special effects, performances and music score, sexy actresses and lots of blood, I liked very much this surprisingly good B-movie, but the Satanism used to entwine the four tales with the investigation of Detective Neilson does not work very well and is the weak part of the tales. The first story is certainly the best one, but I was really impressed with the excellent special effects that in many cases gives the sensation that the violence of the scene is for real. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Nascido do Inferno" ("Born From Hell")
