Viewing Notes

Here’s the IMDB plot summary: “A woman gives birth to a baby, but this is no ordinary little tyke. The child is seemingly possessed by the spirit of a freak dwarf who the mother once spurned.”

That pretty nicely sums up The Devil Within Her, also known as Sharon’s Baby and I Don’t Want To Be Born.

Featuring Joan Collins, who gets her breasts fondled by a dwarf while working as a stripper in a nightclub, and Donald Pleasance who plays her doctor, this isn’t exactly classic cinema. You do get to see Joan run around in exotic lingerie though, if that’s your thing.

The best character in the flick is the baby, followed closely by the dwarf. It also has some great ’70s era porn music going on.

Directed by Peter Sasdy, who, to no one’s surprise, did mostly TV work before and after a run of movies in the 1970s that included Taste The Blood of Dracula, Countess Dracula and Doomwatch, among others. I think most of these are also on Netflix Instant.
