The Baby

Pray you don't learn the secret of..The Baby--The rarely seen '70s cult shocker.

Social worker Ann Gentry (Anjanette Comer) is assigned to a new case: the Wadsworth family, which consists of an abusive, alcoholic mother (the late Ruth Roman, costar of Strangers On a Train and The Far Country), two demented and oversexed daughters (Suzanne Zenor and The Godfather, Part II's Marina Hill) and "Baby" - a grown son who lives in a crib, gurgles incoherently and is treated like an infant! As Ann slowly learns the dark secrets behind the family, she sets her sights on liberating Baby from his seeming captivity. But a bizarre revelation about Ann's own past leads to a shocking and twisted denouement which will send chills creeping down your spine. Spend some time with one of cinema's sickest families ever and rediscover a little-seen thriller that ranks as one of the most perverse and unique mainstream films produced in the 1970's. Directed by Ted Post (Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Magnum Force) and with a moody musical score by Gerald Fried (Paths of Glory, The Killing, Roots).
