[TOMT][MOVIE/TV][EARLY 2000s] Around 2001-2003 is what this memory is from, had to have been some type of horror film or tv show. I only caught a couple seconds of it, but it screwed me up for a long while after.

To give it more detail, it was miday, I was on my tiny box TV, running through channels when something caught my attention, I immediately went back two channels to find it.

I remember the show or movie, at that time, was taking place in an extremely dark room. There was a woman in one of those stirrups they use for giving birth, but both of her legs were either cut off at the ankles or at the knees. The camera pans over to some very fat, old woman, with long white hair, who is just deadpan staring at this supposed pregnant woman.

The woman on the table then asks, with clear terrified exhaustion, "Where is my baby?" To the old woman. The old woman, still with the same deadpan expression answers, "Your baby is dead." With an almost demeaning tone in her voice.

The woman on the table then starts to cry hysterically, the old woman slowly beginning to smile, laughing deeply at the other woman. The camera then cuts to a shot that shows them both in view, mind you, the room is still extremely dark, only partial light was shown on either women. Suddenly, you hear a baby start crying in the middle of the pregnant woman crying and screaming, as well as the old woman laughing, then a baby's, I think bloodied arm, shoots up out of a sort of tray, but the arm is all you see, the baby still crying.

And that's all I remember, I believe I shut the TV off after that because it was so disturbing to me, a probably 5 year old at the time.

I've been trying to find this for years now, probably over a decade, and I've not been able to find any record of it.

If anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated, to get some sort of closure I guess.

Thanks in advance.

Vague reference in a review to experimental special effects shorts that influenced 2001: A Space Odyssey. Does anyone know which short films the critic is talking about?

San Diego Reader magazine writer Duncan Shepherd was a notoriously harsh movie critic, yet still gave 2001: A Space Odyssey four stars, no mean feat.

But check out this tantalizing but infuriatingly vague snippet from the capsule review:
> Much of its reputation comes from exposing the masses to special effects that had been done much more excitingly, not to mention economically, in experimental shorts. Only where money really counts -- the finicky construction of model spaceships -- does it move into new territory.

It would have been mindful of Mr Shepherd to mention some titles here, but he didn't, and I have no idea where to start. Searched Google "experimental special effects short films 1960s" and came up with goose eggs (baseball term for "zilch").

Oh, BTW, here's the page for the review., but I'll spare you the click, the rest of it goes:
> Kubrick's paranoid spoofs on modern technocracy have never been very sharp -- not then, not before (Dr. Strangelove), and not after (Clockwork Orange). Nonetheless a definite feeling of awe creeps in now and then during this incomprehensible chronicle of mankind from birth to rebirth.
