Type: a father's loveExample: Frank Davies and his killer, mutant son in It's Alive
In the final moments of Larry Cohen's 1974 shloxploitation film It's Alive, father Frank Davies has an important decision to make: do I scoop my deformed progeny who is responsible for several gruesome murders in the Los Angeles area into my arms and cradle him to sleep OR do I raise my police-issued rifle and blow his ever-lovin' brains all over the place? It's a tough decision faced by fathers all over this great country every day. As the Good Book tells us, a father's love (as is that of a Care Bear's) is unconditional, so of course Frank takes his hideous son into his arms and promises to protect him from those who wish to perform experiments upon him or send him to juvie.
Minutes later Frank hurls his infant son at a sinister man known only as The Doctor and the police shower them with bullets killing them both instantly. No one ever said fatherhood was easy.
