BRIEF FILM SYNOPSIS

It's about an ordinary couple who become the parents of a bouncing baby boy. Unfortunately, the infant is a grotesque monster who embarks upon a grisly killing spree throughout Los Angeles! The cops attempt to track down the blood-thirsty babe, as the parents (who have no idea how or why this happened) try to cope with this unusual ordeal.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF THE FILM: The film does not show the cause that made the newly born baby a monster, engaged in killing spree of doctors and nurses on the time of his birth. However, the plot tells the audience that would be mother tried to abort the fetus but failed. Is the baby possessed by evil spirit that will lead him to murder people?
