Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
A very pregnant woman having visions and unusual cravings gets invited to a dinner that ends up being one of the worst ever. It has a shock beginning, then a long time where not a lot happens. We both thought it had an interesting ending, but it was kind of boring getting there.
Spoilery Synopsis
We open on a woman giving birth, but she’s chained to the bed and pretty unwilling to be there. They do something to the baby, and it stops crying, then they cut the mother’s throat.
Three weeks later, Sara is pregnant, and Carol is there to help. They’re lesbians, so we don’t immediately know who the father is. Sara’s in a lot of pain, which somehow leads to a sex scene.
Later, she eyes the raw ground beef in the fridge hungrily. In the middle of the night, she comes back for the meat and digs in– raw. She knows that’s weird but does it anyway. Not long after she pukes up a long string of hair and pointy teeth.
Then she sees the devil in the hallway and screams. Carol says there’s no one there. The next day, she stops by the store and buys more raw meat that she eats on the way home.
She bumps into Troy on the way home as well, and we see that he’s the father. He barely remembers her name. He’s found someone else and ghosted her, but also says it’s complicated. He wants to know why she kept the baby, and she says it’s because of Carol. He wants to be friends, but she asks him to leave. He says he can’t wait to meet the baby and generally doesn’t seem like a bad guy. Carol shows up, and she doesn’t like Troy.
Troy leaves, but first, he invites Sara to a dinner party and to meet his mother. Carol says she has to work and cannot go, but Sara really wants to do it. They argue about Troy. Sara then rides out into the country with Troy to his remote house.
Sara and Troy make it to His mother’s house, and Agnes welcomes them inside. He seems a little sketchy, and his mother is even weirder.
After drinking some clearly drugged milk, Sara tries to call Carol, who ignores the phone call. She soon face-plants into the table.
Carol finally finishes work and checks her phone messages. She calls Sara, but it goes right to voice mail. Agnes explains to Troy that he’s here on Earth for a purpose and it’s not to spread his seed all willy-nilly. He says Sara isn’t like any of the other girls. This sixth try is going to be the best!
Yes, Sara is going to have Satan’s child, and if it happened in the hospital, that’d be a real mess. Then both Agnes and Troy get naked and admire themselves in the mirror.
Sara wakes up out in the barn, tied to a bed. Agnes explains the whole situation to Sara, who isn’t pleased. She explains about the first five failed attempts; those women just weren’t right. Sara sees the devil there in the room with them, but Agnes and Troy don’t see anything.
Carol arrives outside in a taxi, and the driver says he can wait around a bit. Troy leads her into the house. He attacks her, so she pepper-sprays him. Troy does, however, manage to kill the tax driver and tie up Carol. Meanwhile, inside, Sara starts to give birth, with only Agnes there to help. Troy shows up in time for both of them to get splattered with blood that Sara coughs up. Carol gets untied and grabs a pitchfork.
Rather than have a normal birth, the baby comes up out of her mouth, and it’s in a cocoon or something. The baby’s got little horns and claws. He’s hungry and takes a big bite out of Agnes’s neck. As Troy tries to kill the little monster, Carol comes in and stabs him in the back.
Carol unties Sara, and they leave together… with the baby, who is obviously some kind of demonic thing.
Brian’s Commentary
Who puts onions in the fridge?
As an almost sixty-year-old guy who never had kids, pregnancy horror just does not do anything for me. I guess pregnancy in general is body-horror of a type, but… yawn.
The last twenty minutes were fine, but the rest was just boring.
Kevin’s Commentary
This is one of those movies where they have a shocking horror opening so they can get away with an hour of build-up afterward where nothing much happens. But eventually things get somewhere, and it has an interesting ending. So mixed feelings on it. Well made, dull path to an ending that I enjoyed.
That baby was the cutest little demon ever.
