I'm just wondering if _It's Alive_ or one of its sequels was the movie I
saw in part on TV years ago.  I just remember something about killer
babies and a scene in a pool in which a baby or babies was/were attacking
some guy (excuse the technical language here :->) and the baby/ies had
such silly evil expressions and the poor actor was trying so hard and
unsuccessfully to make it believable, it was hysterical!
