Wissenswertes
The name of the character Adrian Marcato is borrowed from Rosemaries Baby (1968). The title "Manhattan Baby" was also derived from the title of the Polanski film, despite Director Lucio Fulci hating the title, and Screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti preferring his title "The Evil Eye". That version of the title was reworked in the US to " Eye of the Evil Dead", deriving from Sam Raimi's classic "The Evil Dead". Raimi was at first irritated, but learned Fulci's background with having no leverage over distribution decisions, and more or less felt bad for him and took no legal action.

Patzer
Reflected in the archaeologist's big sunglasses when we see him in his office in New York near the beginning of the film.

Alternative Versionen
The Anchor Bay release under the original title "Manhattan Baby" is the complete, uncut version, containing all the gore and violence.

7/10

Fulci makes another GOOD horror movie.

"Manhattan Baby" sure is one controversial Fulci flick. I have friends who love the man and hate this movie. I also have friends who don't know the man at all and love this movie.

The plot is a bit silly. A girl is given a trinket on vacation in Egypt and it turns out to contain horrific powers of destruction. I told you it was silly.

The special effects are very 1982. But wait; this movie was made in 1982. I'd recommend this to someone who has never seen a Fulci film and is not expecting to see "Zombie" or "The Beyond" again. This movie offers something different and something that I, a true Fulci admirer, appreciate and can watch over and over.

Yes, I like "Manhattan Baby." While it's not like the aforementioned Fulci greats, it remains entertaining and it does deliver some good scares. And decent gore.

7 out of 10, kids.
