I hold Mr. Cohen up to a higher standard than a lot of our cheesy directors, considering his track record, so I was rather disappointed by this one. The concept was ok, but there was way too much build-up in introducing the monster. There's all this suspense, with quick cut-aways and slow, plodding music; but in the end, it's just a fucking baby. Yeah, with sharp teethies and little clawsies, but it's a baby, come on. One good uppercut to the jaw, and that kid's lights are OUT.
There isn't much gore to speak of, or any hot babes, so the typical cheese factors don't really weigh in. The victims look like they have painted fungus faces; I thought the baby was supposed to be eating them, not cultivating a garden.
Larry always throws in a message to go along with the plots of his flicks, and this one is no different. The various explanations about the baby's origins deal with pollution, and medications. However, any poignancy is lost in the droning beat of the awful, awful music. That's actually the worst thing about this, is that as slow as the movie is, the music makes it 32854632947324 times slower.
Unfortunately, I can't really recommend this one. Rent The Stuff instead.
