About this movie

A couple expecting a baby discover it's a monster that kills when it's scared. Terror, like all good things, begins at home. Set to a chilling Bernard Herrmann ("Psycho") score, this eerie and shocking tale of an inhuman newborn who wreaks havoc upon the city of Los Angeles was a surprise boxoffice hit, following in the tradition of "The Exorcist." Along with its two sequels, this cult favorite was written, directed and produced by Larry Cohen.
