Synopsis
Manhattan Baby (1982) is an Italian horror film by Lucio Fulci you can watch online on iFILM. On a dig in Egypt, an archaeologist breaks open an ancient tomb and unknowingly frees a malevolent force that slips inside his little daughter.
The family heads home to New York with no idea they've brought back something very old and very hungry. The girl changes before their eyes, a cold dread creeps through the apartment, and bodies start piling up — Fulci delivers his trademark cruel set-pieces, this time wrapped around an occult riddle of a cursed amulet and a stare from another world. Christopher Connelly and Laura Lenzi play parents who grasp far too late what their child has been dragged into.
This is lesser-known Fulci, yet hypnotic in its own way: less open gore, more dreamlike menace and uneasy scoring. It's a treat for anyone digging through eighties Italian horror who'll forgive the ragged logic for the sake of mood. Stream Manhattan Baby (1982) online on iFILM.
