Dennis L 10/21/2021 es una buena pelicula mal apreciada por la critica, usualmente el terror psicologico no es tan bien recibido en estas epocas, pero siempre son historias interesantes See more 12/30/2020 I'm a big psych/thriller fan and watched this despite the bad reviews Red Herrings that lead to absolutely no where. Nothing is explained. What was the Jenny thing? Thing with crib... Quarantined and running out of things to watch. See more 01/05/2017 First, I thought I was watching the 2016 "First Born"...truly disappointed I was mistaken. Second, this movie is a snooze fest! Queue the overuse of suspension scenes with music that lead to NOTHING! Lastly, just don't watch it. See more 07/29/2014 My Rating: 2.5/5 stars; Grade: C+; Gesture: Thumbs Sideways; Status: Mediocre or So-So (Rotten); Emoticon: :-|. See more 03/09/2014 I really don't understand the hate for this one. Yes, it's not an original idea, but it is still very effective in creating an unsettling atmosphere and keeping the viewer's attention. I quite liked it, and with a couple of tweaks, it could have been a great film. See more 07/24/2013 This is actually a very good movie, I think the reason it doesn't have good reviews is that horror movie fans or slasher movie fans have watched it in hopes of a simple horror movie. This is a psychological thriller with in depth look into the world of a lonely woman suffering from postpartum depression and what it brings on. Once the movie ends you notice one of the scenes you had witnessed moments ago was truly and deeply horrific. If you like kind of slow tempo psychological thrillers this is the movie for you. Enjoy.
