SUNDANCE REVIEW: Hell Baby

Garant and Lennon, co-creators of Reno 911!, wrote, directed, produced and star in the film, which also features Rob Corddry, Leslie Bibb, and Michael Ian Black among others.

According to Millennium, the story centers on “an expectant couple who moves into the most haunted fixer-upper in New Orleans -- a house with a demonic curse. Things soon spiral out of control and only the Vatican's elite exorcism team can save them -- or can they?”
