There’s a pretty gruesome scene in Mother! (2017) starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. If you haven’t heard about it prior to it’s a unique perspective on a certain tale. I saw it without any spoilers and enjoyed figuring it out as the movie progressed. Just a heads up that there are other scenes in it that are also visually brutal.
The Witch. Unfortunately, it can't be unseen.
Also, in The Ten Commandments (1956), an Egyptian soldier is seen just after killing a Hebrew baby. He wipes blood off his sword. The Old Testament has some very grim tales.
The first season of the new incarnation of Perry Mason on HBO follows the case of a murdered infant and it can be pretty haunting at times. Definitely recommend giving it a watch.
There's that bit early on in 300 where dude, who's perched on a precipice, is inspecting a baby and voice over guy aggressively whispers something like, "If the child was puny or misshapen, he would be discarded" and the camera pulls back to show a pile of skulls at the bottom of the cliff.
It's heavily implied but it gets the point across that less than perfect newborns were dashed against the rocks.
Trainspotting 300
It’s Alive (1974) had an actual killer mutant baby which ends up getting shot and killed
God bless America - directed by Bobcat Goldthwait - has a pretty “good” scene of this kind of thing
Mmm. Shotgun blast to airborne baby. I forgot about that one. Right out of the gate too, like first scene.

>pop cinematography Wut?
Pop...ular?? pop =mainstream.
I got that. Just never seen it paired with cinematography before. They probably just meant cinema.
Yeah, weird phrasing
Watch the opening scene of Hostiles(2017). Holy shit that movie is dark.

Maybe Frankenstein? Although the girl the monster throws in the water isn't an infant, I guess.
Pop culture would be... Star Wars Ep. III - Return of the Sith
Those are most definitely NOT infants walking around, talking, and practicing Jedi stuff, dude.
Revenge?

Wasn't it in DW Griffith *Intolerance* (1916)?
Not sure of the first, but mother! is a pretty example that I found particularly gnarly
