Summary: The Baby
Review: This is very interesting film which I would call more of a psychological drama. The clarity, sound, and overall picture quality are excellent for this DVD as related to an early '70s film. Some "behind the scenes" would make it better however.The actor who played "Baby" did an excellent job. He crawls, screams, cries, wears diapers, lives in a crib and playpen, sucks a bottle and his thumb like a real baby. he is very realistic in his role as a boy/man of about 21 who is living in a physically and emotionally abusive and deprived houshold. The opening scene of the movie, the interview, makes it clear who the dominating and weak forces are. The camera angles, positioning and angels bear out each characters position and continues as the movie evolves. The editing is good as is the storyline line for a movie of the 1970's. There are some interesting and disturbing scenes throughout the film. The innocent diaper change by the babysitter and a playtime accident where she consoles baby and an act of breastfeeding innocently follows turns into a violent beating when the mother unexpectedly walks in. The demonstration that "Baby" is capable of learning and doing rudimentary skills and the mother intimidating and scolding her retarded son followed by a cruel tortuing by his sister are just some of the scenes of noteworthiness and make this film quite interesting and certainly perverse. Although an odd film, the theme and objectives of each of the characters is very clear as is the history and rationale of the family and of the social worker. There is much domination and revenge, directly and indirectly, in this film. Some scenes may be found, by some, to be strong and offensive but they give definite support and are essential to the storyline. For any woman who has ever wanted or dreamed of having full control or direction of a man this is your film. For the price and because of its creativity and other qualities already discussed I highly recommend this DVD film to your library....Thanks.

Summary: "Hello, Jermaine's Party Hair and Techno Nails..."
Review: This movie is brilliant! It's sick, perverse, twisted and simply defies classification. Is it horror? No. Is is a thriller? Not really. Is it some kind of demented After School Special? Kind of but not really. Momma is a ciggy smoking tough talker, Jermaine has the wackiest hair ever and never blinks throughout the entire movie, Alma is a dominatrix in training, and Baby...well he is just that, Baby. Coo-Coo Hah! This flick is BONKERS!
