Ray Loynd Variety The fear Rebecca Soladay's script really touches is to cast a dark net over the given safety a pregnant woman feels when she enters a delivery room. Talk about untapping basic anxieties and worst-case scenarios. Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Don't really remember it other than Kate Jackson looking like the scary cradle robber she is. This definitely looked older than 1993, the year it was made. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An intriging low budget movie, with a better storyline than acting Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was a good movie for its time.I liked the fact that this movie was based on a true story of a woman doing a c-section on a lady at 8 months along to steal her baby so her boyfriend would come back to her.Its sad what women will do for a baby. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member intense scarey exciting movie. great movie.
