It's hilarious when it's riding around in the stroller randomly screaming and flipping off the cop car. And yet the video did not generate any desire at all in me to see the movie.

I first saw the video via a link on one of those daily news aggregate sites (the headline was something like: "DEVIL BABY TERRORIZES NYC!"; how could I NOT click it???).
It's hilarious and, in my opinion, long live the low budget B movie with zero advertising budget.
I don't plan on seeing the film, but hopefully, for those who do, it will be as fun and creative as the publicity stunt promoting it.

The advertising isn't effective though. In fact, I believe it to be a huge failure in advertising. They tried it with Carrie and The Last Exorcism 2 before (both prank videos), and while both videos generated millions of views, they failed to generate any money in the box office.

This is the best movie marketing campaign since the time when Samuel L. Jackson would personally call you (using your name) to tell you to skip whatever job you had (and was specific about your occupation) and go see Snakes on a Plane.

I'll probably end up seeing it, so mission accomplished, but I'm sure the movie will pail in comparison.
