Lives are lives. Babies are just smaller and dumber. You'd think they would always be the first to get eaten. It's about time a movie addressed this madness!
I don't think it's the eating of the baby that gets people. It's the attempted rescue and then purposeful throwing of the baby, letting it hit the ground, THEN being eaten.
I totally wished for that to happen. I laughed my ass of. people are always saying women and children first, but it things turn to sh!t people will only care about themselves.
Exactly...we were assuming the baby would be thrown to safety or the sleazy car salesman would have made it to safety with the baby, right. No his first attempt at swinging to safety with the tyke failed so next he out-runs the beasts and at the last moment tries to throw the baby to safety. Then whump the baby hits the street and next it got eaten...holy crap it was hillarious!!!
Baby,...it's what's for supper! Baby,...the other white meat!
What about people who have, say, teenaged daughters? When they see teenaged girls (say, 17-19) killed in horror films, they're okay with it because they figure they "deserve to die"?
People just have to whine about something. In a horror film, people can be getting slaughtered in horrible ways left and right, but if a dog is caught in the crossfire, everyone is up in arms. Apparently, there is a "death age limit" in society, where after a certain age, it's ok if they are killed, just don't hurt the babies or the dog.
While I didn't think the scene was absolutely hilarious, I did get a bit of a chuckle at the scene. C'mon, the crappy green-screen effects and the "sorry, baby!" kept it from being too "real". And I agree with the poster who said that the "baby-chucking" was perfectly in character for Greg Swank. The guy was a douche.
I don't understand why people are so up in arms over it. It was camp, pure and simple. And folks watching the "Feast" films should have a damn good idea what they are in for. The minute I heard the baby crying, I knew he was a goner. These movies pull no punches, as shown by the child death in the first one.
And, before someone tells me to "have a child of your own", I do. I have a beautiful 2 year old, and I love her more than life itself. But being a parent doesn't stop me from sitting down, watching a movie, and getting lost in the FANTASY world presented to me. It's a campy horror movie, not "Hamlet".
I doubt that you have a child. You wouldn't post in this way otherwise. I already have seen the first one, so i knew the child might end up dead. But they did a *beep* job. They could just leave it at child's cry and not make that stupid guy trying to save him and then killing him.
The difference is that the woman may or may not consent to having sex while the baby is at your mercy. Nobody has a choice about death. It happens when it happens. In this film, the baby would've died anyway; either by starvation, hypo/hyperthermia, dehydration, or the monsters finding it. At least the guy tried to save it.
Tell us truthfully, if any of you were in that same situation, would you be brave/foolish enough to even attempt the rescue; what would you do if it looked like the beasts were gonna catch you?
As for me: be it mutant, "feast beast", zombie, etc.; "Sorry baby!" After all, if I die, how far will the baby get? May as well live.
