Thereupon her husband Craig tries to kill the unborn with all means. The alien baby, who has already taken possession of Craig's wife, fights back.

criticism

“Horror film that spells out its bitter story consistently and gets by for the most part without any rough shock effects. In the end, however, things are a bit disgusting, even if everything is kept within tolerable limits, ”says the lexicon of international films . “A good, grotesque thriller,” said Doug Pratt briefly, while “Video Watchdog” considers the film “a dark satire about upper class fantasies and frustrations”.
