Post partum depression taken to the extreme. Some of the scenes in this film were almost too over performed... some were sickly atrocious. The mother played crazy very well, and the young boy did a pretty decent job, though. The rest of the cast were laughable, at times. Just another… More
Post partum depression taken to the extreme. Some of the scenes in this film were almost too over performed... some were sickly atrocious. The mother played crazy very well, and the young boy did a pretty decent job, though. The rest of the cast were laughable, at times. Just another slasher film with a little twist...and not a great twist.

Be warned if you are a parent as this as shocking sence of violent toward children. A well acted low budget horror flick which i believe is based loosely on a true story.It make you think afterwards about your loved ones and maybe how lucky we are.!

I love babies\chiildren, so this was hard for me to watch. Based on A true story, I still have to give it credit for It's devastating and gruesome killings.

I have to say that this is not so much of a reccomendation but more of a warning. I got about half way through this and I had to turn it off. I havent felt so uncomfortable watching a film for many years. Okay the subject matter was never going to be soul lifting but I didnt really think that the filmmakers would have captured the pure mania and fear that the mother and kids felt. I got past where she murdered he baby and tried to drown her 6 year old daaugter before I couldnt watch any more. Dont get me wrong. I have given the film a low rating for the fact I didnt see it all. The acting up to the point I watched it was just too realistic, the camera angles and direction were just superb...I just couldnt take the look on the kids faces as she went mental on them......damn fine film making, just not for me.

Not a great movie but succeeds in engaging you and giving a decent thrill ride.
