Cheeseball remake of the 1974 cheeseball original has the pointy-toothed title pronoun beginning life kicking and screaming—and slaughtering and dining on all the doctors and nurses in the delivery room. Kids are so fun. This murderous newborn then, at regular horror-movie intervals, or when the acting gets too bad, pops up to slash to ribbons and devour anyone who threatens it. It is not explained why this little tyke is so angry, or how he got so strong, save for some botched abortion attempt. Not even so-bad-it’s-good, and heavily padded, which is what I am doing to fill this space. Made it.
