it's alive (1974)

aka Baby Killer
A typical American couple are expecting their second child and happily make their way to the hospital, but there are complications with the birth. The child pops out a mutant, that kills when frightened, and promptly escapes the hospital.
The story is more complex and tasteful than would normally be the case. Worthy of a watch if you come across it, but don't go out of your way.
Rick Baker provided the make-up and puppet effects and the score was provided by Bernard Herrmann.
