Oh no, oh no. Do not talk smack about Dianne Thorne. That's when Grin Willard goes off!
From a guy whose seen em all, from She-Wolf to The Wicked Warden, I think I can safely consider myself a Thorne fan. Those flicks are hard to take, even for me.
Overall, I did like it. I was a little disappointed in the twist, but that's just me.
I was really into the supernatural possibility, and when it turned so abruptly into non-supernatural, it lost me just a little. But it was still suspenseful and exciting, so I'll forgive that, I suppose.

Newborn baby turns out to be a bloodthirsty mutant--think Rosemary's Baby gets revenge on the world. Another shlocky entry from Larry Cohen (The Stuff, Maniac Cop, Q, etc.), this movie plays it perfectly straight while being patently absurd--the moment the baby is born it goes on a killing spree and escapes under its own power through a skylight. While it was not intended to be funny, the bald matter-of-fact way that people state things with zero sensitivity towards the parents of the baby ("Surely you agree we must kill it immediately!") is pretty funny. The father disowns the child several times, it almost becomes a running joke. There isn't much dwelling on the reasons for the mutation aside from some mild social commentary about pollutants and pesticides, and about a half hour into the story it really just turns into a manhunt (or should I say, a mutant babyhunt). I wish they had added some twists or other plot developments to keep things more interesting, I think there were some abandoned story lines. Still, I kinda liked this bleak unintentionally funny 70's shlock-shocker, and effects giant Rick Baker designed the mutant baby!
3 out of 5 stars.

Neesy's List
1. Son of Dracula

4. House of the Witch - teenagers trapped in abandoned house on Hallowe'en are terrorized by a witch
5. Carrie (at the motel last night) - the one from a couple of years ago
6. My Soul to Take (on SyFy right now).
7. It (second viewing at the theatre tonight).
8. Nightmare on Elm Street 3 at the hotel in Deer River MN.
9. Messages Deleted (2010) was on TV today - more of a mystery than a horror but there were some gory parts.
10. Pay the Ghost (2015) with Nicolas Cage - a professor frantically searches for his son who was abducted during a Hallowe'en parade.
11. Child's Play - sort of watched it but mainly it was on because son and GF were watching it - seemed kind of silly to me.
12. Silver Bullet - on AMC
13. Christine (yup - that one with the classic car)
14. Thinner (Die well, white man from town).
15. Blood Honey - Tortured by the memory of a childhood trauma, a woman returns after a decade to her family's fly-in hunting lodge to assist her siblings with their dying father, only to find herself stuck in a life threatening nightmare.
16. Firestarter - on AMC with George G. Scott, Martin Sheen, Art Carney & Louise Fletcher etc. - forgot how many well known actors were in this one.
17. I watched an episode of Hoarders on TV - this lady had 50 cats!
18. The Curse of Frankenstein - from 1957 with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
19. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - was on TV today - the one from 1974 which I originally saw at the drive in (probably around 1980) - it was a double feature with the original Carrie movie.

Man, it is amazing and scary to see how bad these places become - enter the crew in the HazMat suits 
p.s. She was saving the dead bodies of her cats in the freezer.

...I find it amazing when Google knows everything and can't locate images from these jewels of the silver screen....Okay. You're just making this sh*t up now, aren't you? You're f'ing with us, right?
I love it when someone comes in with the most random weird movie -- gives me a good laugh....I find it amazing when Google knows everything and can't locate images from these jewels of the silver screen....
...even better when he makes ****e up that sounds like it COULD have been produced....
39.) Hide and Seek (2005)
Re-watch, but it's been so long since I've seen it that I forgot about the huge plot twist. Yay me! Think I liked it even more this viewing. Dakota Fanning was creepy as h*ll (in a good way! ).

I was trying to be polite and was just going for the ride with his choices. But obviously the musk is having a bit of fun with us.
16) The House That Dripped Blood (1971)-Another favorite anthology. These kinds of movies make my heart happy!
Tonight I hope to get another couple of movies in: The Girl With All The Gifts and maybe Nightmare on Elm Street (LilMan wants to watch that one).

No one had ACTUALLY seen it, of course. Maybe I'll give that one a try! I also remember tv ads that give me chills for another movie: "Beyond the Door" (title whispered in a creepy voice, of course)--has anyone seen that one?
27. Cube Zero --New
"A young man whose job is to watch over the Cube endeavours to rescue an innocent woman trapped in one of its rooms."
I understood this one!!! And, I must say, this third installment in the series was the best. When does THAT ever happen? Usually the first installment is the best and everything else pales in comparison.
There was actually story, plot and characters that I could follow. The original is still thought of as the best by the cult following, but after watching all three, my vote is on this one. And it was very interesting how they looped it back to the first movie. Enjoyed that.
