Review of The Baby

The Baby (1973)
4/10
Dated and disappointing .........
30 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Although quite original in concept, the execution is now so dated that "The Baby" is nothing more than a curiosity. For the horror/slasher crowd, this will prove quite dull, since all of the blood is spilled after the fact, such as one girl struggling out of a room with a knife in her back. The actual motivation behind the social worker's interest in the baby is a minor surprise, but everything appears stretched to fill a modest 85 minute running time. A home invasion near the conclusion seemed endless. Definitely a one and done watch even if you are just curious. Don't be surprised if "The Baby" proves disappointing. I know one viewing was plenty to satisfy my curiosity. - MERK.
