Based on a Ray Bradbury story from 1946. Set in London, Alice Leiber (Susan Wooldridge) has given birth to baby boy, but she is not bonding with him.
He cries incessantly, so much so that Alice hates her child. He shuts up the moment the baby's dad David (Leigh Lawson) arrives home. Starting again once he goes to work in the morning.
Doctor Jeffers (Cyril Cusack) hopes things will eventually settle down, he is loathed to split mother and son up. Alice talks to Doctor Jeffers how she remembers being born, being pulled away from the comfort of her mother's womb. Maybe the baby has experienced the same and now resents Alice.
The demonic child story has been overtaken by Rosemary's Baby, The Omen,, We need to talk about Kevin. So there were little surprises here as no one wants to believe a baby could be evil.
It does end in a disturbing manner.
