Turner Classics actually showed this recently. I'd never heard of it, but when I read the little blurb, "a baby is born with claws, wrecks the delivery room, then goes after a milk truck," I literally laughed out loud. I told my wife this could not be serious, it had to be a joke, they were playing the whole thing for laughs. So I recorded it, and just checked it out, and found out they were actually serious! Really! After fast-forwarding, I realized it was made for almost zero budget, Z-grade actors, probably filmed in five minutes. Question -- how in the world, in the competitive business of movie making, does something like this actually get financed and made? This is just plain stupid. It's absurd.
