Product Description
WISHBABY is a savage fairytale set in a contemporary urban landscape.
A troubled young black teenager MAXINE (Tiana Benjamin) rescues an eccentric old lady EVE (Fenella Fielding) from an unhappy slap by a mixed-race gang of teens and is rewarded for her act of kindness with the gift of a terrible secret: how to make and operate a WISHBABY.
With Eve's help Maxine gives life to a magic doll and sets out to solve her current problems, inadvertently releasing Eve's dead GOVERNESS from her astral prison and unleashing a storm of supernatural activity. Her older brother COLIN (rapper Doc Brown) is gradually drawn into the dangerous situation created by the 'Little King' and must finally face his own mother in a brutal fight to the death.

Fantastic gem of film, well worth a look if chucky freaks you out then this will too!
When you read "The creepiest movie since Chucky" on the front cover (not that I ever found any Chucky movie creepy....I watched Wishbaby because Fenella Fielding was in it and wanted to see what she was looking like now after not seeing her for years. Originally given a 15 cert by the board of censors (I would have given it a PG) for some obscure reason the makers demanded an 18 cert beacuse the felt the film disturbing...god they must lead some sheltered lives because Wishbaby is a squalled little film that neithers frightens or excites. I was bored out of my head just waiting for something to happen that would get me interested. A complete waste of time and as for Fennella Fielding she must have been desperate to appeared in this one.....

This film originally got a 15 from the BBFC and the director had to request that it be given an 18 due to the content of the film, and he was right - cracking film.
