UK PREMIERE - Based on Larry Cohen’s successful cult classic from 1974, director Joseph Rusnak’s taut remake explores the terrifying consequences of experimental drug testing. Lenore Harker (HOSTEL’s Bijou Phillips) is a typical college senior and her boyfriend Frank (PRIMEVAL’s James Murray) loves her. The only problem is Lenore is about to give birth to a baby whose sole purpose in life is to kill everything in sight. Before she became pregnant, Lenore participated in a series of drug tests under professional supervision. But no one had any idea that those drugs would cause Lenore’s baby to go on a killing rampage moments after being born, taking out the medical staff before disappearing into the hospital’s ventilation system. When the truth comes out, their home becomes a house of horror as the baby wreaks havoc on anyone and everyone in its path and Lenore must make the ultimate sacrifice.
Also showing on Monday 31st at 2.45 pm.
