mother slowly realizes her baby isn't normal: can't stand daylight, prefers blood...
Links: AFFF / imdb
A small gem, not many karats but nice enough, that is more of a mood-piece than a story with developing characters with whom I'm always supposed to connect and care about on so many levels and that give me *yaawn* a deeper understanding of mankind and its struggles.
The link with "Rosemary's Baby" quickly enters ones mind, but I am not under the impression that this film actually tries to copy (or surpass) that classic. They share the slowly increasing discomfort the viewer (a bit earlier than the mother) experiences when more and more things go wrong.
No rush in the storytelling while it's kept interesting enough with little details, some more subtle than others; for example, the baby starts to slowly foam around the mouth when mum is playing churchmusic for her. The word "vampire" is never uttered, fortunately.
Too bad the final 2 minutes kinda screwed it up. A bit too illogical.
