A B-movie creature feature that mines body horror and parental dread from the premise of monstrous births, balancing exploitation thrills with a darker meditation on the bond between parent and child.

Maternity wards echo with the patter of tiny claws as more murderous baby-faced monsters are born. But rather than kill their monstrous offspring during delivery, cursed parents flee to secret incubation hideouts.
