There are many things you expect from a collaboration between splatterfest maestros Brian Yuzna and Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond, The Dentist). Copious amounts of full-frontal nudity, but only ever of the female kind. Brilliantly creepy prosthetics made on a shoestring budget. Enough blood and gore to make even the most hardened surgeon squeamish. 1998 cinema-bypassing release Progeny ticks all these boxes. But apropos of nothing, it also doubles up as a cerebral look into the anxieties of conceiving, birthing, and raising a child.
