... a question; why do these teenagers even have a chainsaw? Personally, I think you set up this amazing conceit with the underground lab etc. and then you have. what feels like a contrivance - teenagers duct-taping a chainsaw to a baby's arm... wouldn't it be more 'logical' if the baby was able to manifest the chainsaw by itself? (you see, you make the baby a passive recipient of a plot device otherwise). Maybe I've missed something in your development, but why is the baby being created in the first place; is it a military operation, for instance? An experiment in breeding super soldiers who can, I don't know, self-generate weaponry from their bodies; there would be nothing more terrifying than all that weaponry in the hands of life-form not yet able to monitor his own tantrums - an innocent who is also a lethal weapon. This is what I don't get; why both going to all that trouble to set up the sci-fi hokum of an underground lab growing a baby, when the baby only becomes a threat after two inessential characters tape a chainsaw to it? Shouldn't the chainsaw/threat derive from the character itself? Otherwise, why bother with all the sci-fi hokum
