The Baby
What goes on in this nursery isn't for kids!
Directed by Ted Post
Produced by Quintet Productions
A deeply unsettling grindhouse thriller that mines horror from familial dysfunction and psychological abuse, centered on a 21-year-old kept in infantile dependence.
A social worker who recently lost her husband investigates the strange Wadsworth family. The Wadsworths might not seem too unusual to hear about them at first - consisting of the mother, two grown daughters and the diaper-clad, bottle-sucking baby. The problem is, the baby is twenty-one years old.
