That baby scene still haunts me.
Okay, I saw a movie sometime in the mid to late 80s, maybe even early 90s. I don't remember much, but...
I think it was made either in Australia or New Zealand. Really just a guess, but the accents and dialect used make me fairly sure.
Other than that, I only remember one scene, but what a scene it was.
A pregnant woman is lying on her bed. Suddenly we're blasted by heavy metal music as the camera zooms down from the ceiling until it hovers right above her. We can then see that the baby has been ripped from her, the torn edges of skin around her hollow stomach flapping back and forth. I can still hear the sound the flapping skin made, sort of like a fish flopping on a wooden dock. I also recall that the camera lingered above the empty woman for a long time, allowing us to soak in the true horror of what just happened. It was a very powerful and gory scene.
I don't think it was a good movie overall, but the scene mentioned above has stuck with me over the years. Anybody recognize it?
