Reviews:
“Angel Baby is a film that, though delivering plenty of jump scares and terrifying musical cues, balances cinema horror with the deeper themes of grief and ultimately, acceptance.” Latin Heat
“Given the film’s glossy look and sanitized treatment of its subject matter, it actually feels like a slightly bigger budgeted Lifetime movie […] if you’re watching Angel Baby expecting a horror movie or an effective thriller, you’re going to be very disappointed. The ghostly activity is minor and never really amounts to much until the end, maybe. The thriller elements aren’t any better, being fairly predictable most of the way through…” ★ Voices from the Balcony
