Synopsis

Get ready for the rarely seen slasher classic from the ‘80s that may also be the most disturbing ‘killer kids’ movies in grindhouse history: Three babies are simultaneously born in the same hospital at the peak of a full solar eclipse.

Can the town’s grown-ups stop these pint-sized serial killers before their blood-soaked birthday bash?
