The Baby (1973)
Director: Ted Post
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
What starts out as a seemingly realist study of the relationship between social worker Comer and the dysfunctional family presided over by Roman develops into a full-blown horror movie. Comer has a consuming interest in 'Baby', a man with the mind of a child, and, convinced that Roman and her sisters are bent on murder, abducts Baby. An unusual chiller, well directed by co-scripter Ted (Magnum Force) Post.Author: NF
