The Baby

Streaming video - 1973

In this bizarre cult horror classic, idealistic social worker Ann Gentry (Anjanette Comer) takes on the disturbing case of Mrs. Wadsworth (Ruth Roman) and her strange, twisted household: two unhinged daughters and “Baby”—a grown man kept in a state of infantilized dependency, complete with crib, high-chair, and diapers. But as Ann digs deeper, she’s drawn into a web of unnatural attachment, perverse control, and hidden obsessions. Directed by Ted Post (Magnum Force), this cult classic blends suburban depravity with 70s-style exploitation, delivering an unforgettable portrayal of twisted family dynamics and unspeakable secrets.
