This hilariously implausible warning cry about the evils of adoption (???) bears a striking similarity to "Rosemary's Baby" without any of the Satanism. It's really kind of fine if you can ignore the ludicrous plot since it's better paced than most TV movies of the era and has a really great late 70's TV cast. Annie Potts shows up as Purl's pregnant neighbor. The hardcore punk band have to be named after this movie, right?
