Natasha is a fiercely independent 38-year-old woman who does not believe in long-term plans, but when she is unexpectedly saddled with a baby to care for, her life spins into chaos. The Baby on HBO Max is a horror-comedy about Natasha grappling with this disturbing development; it doesn’t help that the baby is controlling, manipulative, and has violent powers.

What Are the Critics Saying About The Baby?

The Baby has an official critics rating of 72% and an average audience score of 61% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Joe Clay from The Times (UK) writes, “Balancing horror and comedy is notoriously tricky… The Baby managed to straddle both camps, helped enormously by the charismatic de Swarte and a disconcerting score from the experimental composer Lucrecia Dalt.”

Daily Telegraph’s Anita Singh says, “What begins as an enjoyably dark and occasionally gory comedy with smart things to say about the myth of perfect motherhood ends up losing its way.”

Is The Baby Suitable for Kids?

The Baby is rated TV-MA, which means it is meant for viewing by mature audiences only. The content material is not suitable for children under 17.
