Son

E dai você aposta que o filme é sobre vampiros e quebra a cara. Ele salta entre várias questões sem se aprofundar muito em nenhuma, mas acho que é proposital apenas para finalizar com um climax de suspense. E dai o que aprendemos com o filme? Que não importa o que as mães fazem, os filhos irão preferir os pais.

Dark psychological horror with great acting that kept me immersed.

Overall, it is a bloody, gross, supernatural story about a single mother who will do anything for her son, including digging up her past life as a member of a dark cult. Performances are fine, but the leads have moments of unconvincing dialogue and good tension. Son has a nice set-up as a horror movie but is generally vague in its plot details. The big reveal is highly predictable, and I also found it to be a massive letdown and disappointment. This film will undoubtedly have its followers, but sadly this didn't work for me as well as I would have preferred.

A very tight supernatural thriller / horror, primarily centred around the love of a young mother for her afflicted son. Solid pacing, well-acted with some disturbing scenes makes for an engrossing movie for horror buffs. Worth checking out.

A young boy falls ill to a mysterious illness, developing an immense appetite for blood. His mother is willing to break all ethical barriers to keep her son alive. A mixed bag of different horror genres: cult, body disease and mental illness. The combined effect works well. Great acting from the young star, who fully convinces the viewer of his agonising suffering.

Decent little cultish, vampirish horror movie with a cool ending.

It's Rosemary's Baby-esque in a few ways, but Son really is quite its own thing. That said, what it is is a slightly below average horror outing and a stomach ache. The acting is subpar as is the story. I suppose the thing you could say it does "well" is its body horror as it is often legitimately sickening. I don't know...this one just wasn't quite my type despite it being solid for what it is.

At last. I seem to be in agreement with professional reviewers ! I think one of the main ingredients in a successful horror movie (or maybe any other genre for that matter) is that you can't wait to see what happens next and that keeps you glued to the screen. This movie provided that kind of suspense. And I was mostly satisified with what did in fact come next. Had I been more than satisfied with the outcome; had I been amazed by it; then I would have given the movie 5 stars. The ending was a surprise but just not the surprise that I would've liked the most. Maybe I would've taken it in a slightly different direction if I had written iit and maybe I would've developed certain aspects of the story more; but all in all this was a solid good film, inventive and clever.

Great performances. Thrilling, edge of your seat film.

A lot better than a whole gamut of recent "horror" outings, but it's Rosemary's Baby under a different guise.
