I first watched The Baby one halloween. It is set in an American town, in the 1970's. The colours are vivid oranges and browns, to the extent where they become overbearing.

The film revolves around a man who is treated like a baby by his family due to his mental development. A social worker is assigned to work with the family. The abuse he suffers is disturbing and shocking. It is a very original film in terms of the antagonist and protagonist. It is weird beyond belief.

The premise is so grotesque that memories linger to this day. I have never been more impressed and disgusted with a twist in a movie. I would recommend this film to anybody, anybody who wants to watch a film that is guaranteed to shock and surprise.
