The Baby (1973)
4/10
This is one sick, sick movie
17 September 2022
I hardly know where to start... a full grown young man with the mind of an infant is kept as a baby in a playpen by a nasty woman and her evil daughters. They live off the welfare paid by the State to support the 'baby'.

A babysitter taking care of the 'baby' one evening finds him opening her blouse and sucking on her breast. One daughter abuses 'baby' with a cattle prod; the other one goes to his crib after dark and eases herself down 'onto' him, if you get the drift. I think this was written by someone who gets off on various kinds of abuse.

There is a story here - the social worker who seems more than a little too interested in just this one case out of her assigned caseload. She seems to show up at 'baby's' family home day after day despite clear indications she has long ago worn out her welcome. She is so fixated on the 'baby' that she threatens to work to have him taken away from the rest of his dysfunctional family.

I don't know what else to say about this flick and I don't want to spoil (?) the plot with any more info, but it's sick. You'd have to be a little bit 'off' to like it. Oh, and being that this thing is half a century old, the 'baby' has now in real life died pushing 80 years of age.
