THE BABY is a bizarro little 70s film that is parts exploit, horror, and drama all rolled into one. Some decent performances and a weird storyline, along with a decent twist ending carry this one.
A social-worker take an interest in a case where a woman and her two daughters have raised her fully grown son...as a baby. As the social-workers interactions with the family deepens, it becomes apparent that the "baby's" family is pretty far out-there, and the social-worker begins to take a more personal interest in the man/child's well-being - but this doesn't sit well with the family, who prefer to keep their personal lives private...
THE BABY starts off strong but starts to drag and falter a bit through the middle. The ending picks up again and has a pretty strong twist to it as well. All of the lead actors, including the social-worker, the mother and daughters, and the baby-man are all pretty damn good for a film of this nature. Definitely worth checking out for fans of strange 70s cinema...7.5/10
