Interesting facts

Baby Blood is a 1990 French horror film directed and co-written by Alain Robak, and starring Emmanuelle Escourrou and Jean-François Galotte. Its plot follows a former circus performer who is driven to commit murders and consume blood by an ancient parasite that has invaded her womb.

Production

Baby Blood was directed by Alain Robak who found that interest in films of the fantastique genre had increased in France and so desired to make a film in this style as he was a fan of b-movies. Despite proposing a low budget, Robak initially had trouble finding producers to back the film, but he received help when he became associated with producer Ariel Zeitoun.

Baby Blood began shooting on 16 May 1989 in Paris, France. The film was shot in five weeks. To save money, the circus in the film was a real circus located in Nanterre. The film's special effects were coordinated by Benoît Lestang and Jean-Marc Toussaint. The film features cameos from Jean-Yves Lafesse, Alain Chabat and Jacques Audiard. Robak got them to be in the film by simply asking them. Chabat had not been in films previously.
