Everything you need to know about The Baby
The Baby is a darkly funny, raw examination of motherhood, from the perspective of a woman who doesn’t want to be one.
Natasha is 38 and furious that her closest friends are all having babies. When there’s yet another pregnancy announcement, Natasha spends some time in a remote cabin by the sea – where a baby literally drops into her life.
Soon she finds her life dramatically imploding. Controlling, manipulative but incredibly cute, the baby twists Natasha’s life into a surreal horror show.
As she discovers the true extent of the Baby’s deadly nature, Natasha makes increasingly desperate attempts to get rid of it in this horror-comedy.
She doesn’t want a baby. But the baby definitely wants her.
