Director/writer Larry Cohen comes back with the sequel to his 1974 original marauding mutant baby flick. Expectant couple, Eugene and Jody Scott(Frederic Forrest and Kathleen Lloyd), are paid a visit by a stranger concerned about their unborn child. That stranger is Frank Davis(John P. Ryan), the father of the original razor-sharp toothed mutant tyke. A nationwide task force has been formed to destroy other monster infants; and Davis convinces the Scotts their child should be born in secret surroundings protected by an underground organization desiring to study the mutant crawling killers. Its nice that this time out we get to see more of the monster-baby in a more deliberate script. At times I think that Ryan is actually creepier than the overactive infant. Also in the cast: James Dixon, John Marley and Andrew Duggan.
