In Los Angeles, Lenore goes into labor with her second child. Her husband Frank Davis dutifully waits in the waiting room with the other fathers. Something strange happens in the delivery room. The baby is gone and the medical staff are all dead.
After the delivery room, the movie stalls for awhile. It really should keep going in the hospital. I want the immediacy of that night. The movie gets to such an intense high that it should try to maintain it. Instead, it bottoms out a little and turns more campy. I do question how they know that it's the baby other than baby bite marks. It's a silly idea and they're doing the Jaws thing where they only show glimpses of the shark. The baby hunting is so stupid. It's basically the rabbit in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. This falls somewhat into camp territory although it needs to be wackier for it to be good camp. The baby design gets it almost there. I wish that the movie trusts it and use it a lot more. I want wall-to-wall demon baby. They're a little too sane for that.
