A couple expecting a baby discover it's a monster that kills when it's scared. Terror, like all good things, begins at home.

Along with its two sequels, this cult favorite was written, directed and produced by Larry Cohen.

Better than gore..Suspenseful horror movies are the best kind. They keep you on the edge of your seat, guessing what comes up next and then have you jump when something pops out to kill the victim. The older movies didn’t use expensive special effects to scare you. They used the actors and props mostly. While some may prefer the expensive special effects horror movies they grew up with I prefer movies like this one. It may not be as gory or as high tech but it does have something a lot of them don’t have. A story..Score: 4/5

Absolutely worthlessMe and my brother have wasted every minute of the 91 minutes trying to make sense of all this nonsense. The idea is stupid, special effects are rubbish, and the acting is absolutely terrible. One piece of advice, don't watch this movie unless you have few dollars to spare and nothing to do in life..Score: 1/5

Decent FlickAfter watching a less than stellar "Bug" last night I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It holds your attention all the way through, from happy beginning to interesting end. The characters are also likeable and here-and-then peeks at what's actually alive keep you wanting more. A plus is the 1974/1975 backdrop and early 1970s feel. Don't be surprised if by the very end of the movie you want it to stay alive!.Score: 4/5

Český
"Je svět, do něhož přivádíme svě děti, opravdu tak skvělý?" klade si otázku Frank Davies (John Ryan) v očekávání svého druhého dítěte. Nezdravé ovzduší, potraviny kontaminované chemickými postřiky, drogová závislos, skrytá radioaktivita - jakých konců by se mohl dobrat vývoj, jehož jmenovatelem jsou jedy ve všech podobách? Davies to má záhy poznat sám na sobě. Ať již je to cokoliv, je to naživu, je to zlovolný popravčí, kat s tváří novorozence. Radost Daviese a jeho ženy (Sharon Farrell) nad novým přírustkem v rodině se rychle přeměňuje v hrůznou noční můru, která zachvacuje nejenom je, ale brzy i celé Los Angeles: podivný humanoid vyzbrojený ostrými zuby a drápy totiž uniká přímo z porodního sálu, aby naplnil své poslání, k němuž ho předurčuje vrozený instinkt: vraždění.

Delirious summary, synopsis, reviews
DeliriousComedy1991

Jack Gable (John Candy) finds himself embroiled in protecting his beloved Laura (Emma Samms), an actress who plays Rachel Hedison in Jack's show — "Beyond Our Dreams" — from having her character being killed off by the program's producers, the Sherwoods (Jerry Orbach, Renee Taylor). Laura has recently broken off with her co-star and lover Dennis (David Rasche) and is heading off for a weekend with Jack. As Jack unloads Laura's luggage, he conks himself on the head and knocks himself out. He awakens in a town bearing a name similar to the town in his soap opera. Dennis is on hand, but as his character in the show — Dr. Paul Kirkland. Jack realizes that he has found himself in an alternative world made up of his soap opera world — particularly apparent when he is recognized as Jack Gates, "the Wolf of Wall Street." Jack then meets Laura, who, in this soap opera world, is actually Janet Dubois, the daughter of a late biochemist who invented a pill that allows anyone to eat whatever they want and not gain any weight. The unscrupulous Hedison family (Raymond Burr, Charles Rocket, Dylan Baker) want to steal the formula for the pill and make a fortune for their pharmaceutical company. Jack then discovers that he can exit and re-enter the show at will and can alter the narrative of the show however he wants by typing up new plot points on his typewriter. In order to save Laura's character from the Sherwoods, Jack re-writes the show to save Janet by having his own character come to her rescue at the last minute.
