Single mom Catherine Moore (Michele Greene) moves into a quiet community with her six month old son Joey. She befriends the neighbors including hunky John (Scott Valentine). But Joey is a "special" kid. Okay, he is a mutant freak with a face that makes Rondo Hatton stop and go, "Dammmmn!" Seems Joey is one of the genetic experiments Dr. Meyerling, the villain from the first film. To make matters worse, another test mother (Robin Curtis) is running around picking off these gifted little monsters. For a DTV sequel, this isn't half bad. The baby is laughable at parts (it kinda looks like a slimy Philip Seymour Hoffman crossed with Billy Joel) but director Rick Jacobson keeps things moving fast. Chances are he was getting into John Woo around this time given the shoot outs on display (including a HARDBOILED-inspired one in the maternity ward). I will give him that the opening where Curtis guns down a kid at a playground is pretty good.

i have seen better....and i have seen worse.this movie did not hold my attention long enough to prevent me from...washing dishes....mopping the kitchen....or rearranging furniture.the baby is unbelievable even if i do have to suspend belief. Michele Greene and Scott Valentine should be commended to even accepting pay checks for this low level C-grade scifi schlock. I have to admit...i did sit long enough to see the mom give the kid some good "bo's"(elbow blows) to the head. That scene was hilarious!!!Other than that, it was uneventful cinema.

Sequel to the average 1991 horror flick, this one relies on a paper thin story with few surprises. A single mom with an infant moves into a suburban neighborhood. Before long her baby starts killing people (a couple social workers, the babysitter and her boyfriend, etc.). Also on hand we have an angry woman who is one the loose gunning down children who we discover are the evil offspring of the original film's mad doctor villain. The special effects are pretty dumb and the killer baby looks like an ugly doll. The movie goes nowhere with it's chintzy story and the shocks the movie sometimes gives us to keep us watching are pretty tame. The un-thrilling conclusion takes forever to wrap up and the movie's obvious attempts at humor (with the nosey neighbors) are cringe-inducing. Michael McDonald (Mad TV), who is out of character here, is fun to watch in an early pre-comedy role, but otherwise, avoid it. One Star.

I found this horror gem in a local store and bought it. I watched it yesterday's night and was a surprise for me. I love B movies and this was very satisfying.In order to enjoy this kind of movies, you have to switch off your brain. After that, you have to pretend that the primitive animatronic baby is real (at least in the movie).Finally, don't pretend to find Oscar's performances for the actors.After that, enjoy an excellent movie. The plot is good and believable, tha acting is OK, the music score is excellent.In my opinion, it deserves a 5.0My advice, look for it in your local video rental, and enjoy.
