Director Adam Mason said that this film is “a love letter to the kind of books and movies I grew up loving, particularly the Stephen King novels that I loved so much as a teenager. It felt like no one was making those kinds of films for the YA market, and the teenage me would be really missing out today. That’s why I wanted to make Baby Blue.”

A group of teens has discovered the story of Baby Blue, a serial killer who killed himself rather than be caught. But now, years later, his murders have never stopped. Is he killing from beyond? And wouldn’t that be a great story for their true crime show?

Nothing bad is going to happen, right?

Mason also wrote Play Dead, which just started. on Tubi last week, as well as the films Pig and Songbird. He co-wrote this script with Simon Boyes, who has teamed with Mason on several other projects.

Baby Blue (Dylan Sprayberry) looks a lot like Bill Paxton in Near Dark and he acts a lot like a direct-to-video Freddy rip-off, so think 976-Evil. Except he doesn’t have to torture anyone while they’re asleep. He can do it while they’re awake, so many of his victims — after his death — have been seen on video, Cecil Hotel-style, murdering themselves while his spirit is conveniently unseen.

I’m going to give the true crime podcasters of the world some advice. If you are invited into the home of the mother of a serial killer — Mama (Ellen Karsten) — and things start getting weird, like say she starts describing how she has to break down her fecal matter by hand because their plumbing is bad, you should just leave the house while you still can. Or you can always end up there tied to a bed and having her spray rancid milk out of her three breasts all over your face.

Oh yeah, if that isn’t enough, this also has a cursed found footage video that keeps the killing going, in case anyone was hoping that this could unite Elm Street with The Ring and both of them had an intimate threeway with Barbarian.

The baby will be the inevitable sequel.

There are a lot of people complaining about the acting in this movie, so I ask you, fellow movie watchers, tell me you didn’t rent tons of direct-to-video horror in the 90s without telling me. Keep on bringing me goofy stuff, Tubi.
