Curse of the Baby-Eater Unleashed on Blu-ray & DVD via Future Video

Joe Bizarro’s Austin-shot horror-comedy Curse of the Baby-Eater arrives on Blu-ray and DVD with new key art and trailer.

Joe Bizarro has never been interested in playing things straight, and Curse of the Baby-Eater feels like the latest reminder that the best cult horror comedies come from filmmakers willing to fully embrace the absurd — and then push right past it.

The Austin-shot, genre-bending horror comedy has officially been unleashed on Blu-ray and DVD, with Phantom Pain Films releasing the film through its Future Video label exclusively via Future-Video.tv. Alongside the home video debut, the film has also rolled out a new poster and trailer, giving genre fans a clear sense of the chaotic energy they’re signing up for.

Curse of the Baby-Eater marks the third collaboration between Bizarro and Noel Maitland, following Brides of Satan and The World Is a Beautiful Place and I Am Not Afraid to Die. If you’re familiar with their previous work, you already know the vibe: outsider characters, aggressively strange humor, and an undercurrent of sincerity hiding beneath layers of madness.

The film centers on Gibby Arbuckle, whose already-unusual life takes a hard left turn when his dog begins channeling messages from God. That strange revelation sets off a mission to destroy a cave-dwelling, baby-eating monster — a sentence that pretty much sums up the film’s commitment to weirdness. Along the way, Gibby teams up with fellow misfits Gordy and Cowboy Ben, forming an unlikely trio bound together by alienation, bad decisions, and a shared brush with the supernatural.

While the premise leans hard into grindhouse absurdity, Bizarro has been clear about the film’s emotional core. In his own words, Curse of the Baby-Eater is an “unexpectedly heartfelt tale of monsters, madness, and bologna sandwiches (hold the mustard).” That balance — grotesque horror colliding with oddly sincere character moments — is exactly where cult films tend to find their staying power.

The cast blends first-time actors with cult favorites, including MH Dempsey, Jeff Brennecke, and Cowboy Ben, alongside Christopher Kahler, Peelander Yellow of Peelander-Z, Scary Gary, Lexi Graves, and Lisa Mason Lee. The mix gives the film a scrappy, DIY texture that feels right at home with its Austin roots and Trash Cult Pictures pedigree.

This isn’t a movie aiming for broad appeal or polished prestige. Curse of the Baby-Eater lives in that midnight-movie sweet spot where gross-out humor, lo-fi horror, and genuine affection for misfits coexist. For fans of trash cinema, outsider art, and horror comedies that don’t apologize for being strange, this one looks primed to earn its place on the cult shelf.

The film is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, exclusively through Future-Video.tv.
