In this follow up Frederick Forrest stars as Eugene Scott, a man, who along with his wife is expecting a baby. His wife, Jody (Kathleen Lloyd) has a baby shower, and that's when the trouble starts.
One of the guests is Frank Davis (John P. Ryan) who fathered the original mutant baby. He warns both of them that the baby Jody is carrying is going to be a mutant, and that the authorities are already watching the house.
Jody does indeed give birth to a savage mutant that immediately attacks the doctors in the delivery room. The babies are becoming an epidemic and the Government is trying to stop the babies when they are born, but things get a little out of hand.
As usual, there are a lot of subtexts including parenting, abortion, Government cover-up and love of children. These are handled very well, and the film proves to be a powerful condemnation of everything but parenting and love.
Director Cohen always made interesting movies, and he brings back a lot of people from the original film which makes it a winner. The cast also includes John Marley, Andrew Duggan, James Dixon, Eddie Constantine, and Glenda Young.
The film is a great example of what can be done on a very modest budget. These aren't for everyone, but for Cohen fans and fans of off the wall horror, these are all winners.
I hadn't seen this for decades and had forgotten that Euro star Constantine was in this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
