This gritty indie is a diamond in the rough, and horror fans should seek it out.

What could be scarier than not knowing HOW violent your child is? It’s a waiting game that concludes powerfully with no winners in the battle to uncover psychotic behavior. It’s brilliant.

Rated: 9/10

M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters is a good found footage film in that it's shot in a manner that doesn't distract from the story while remaining a found footage film

Rated: 3.5/5

Flickering Myth

Performances are on-point, I'm just not positive M.O.M's message prevails given the third act's divisive direction (which did not work for this critic).

Rated: 2/5

Flickering Myth

Despite its flaws, I'd still give M.O.M. a cautious recommendation for those who are at least curious to see a fresh take on the well worn found footage genre.

Subverting the pitfalls of found footage through smart storytelling and stellar lead performances makes M.O.M. a genre standout.

An original found footage film that I really enjoyed, based on a topic that feels all too real.

Takes a while to get going , but the 2nd half will have you locked in for better or worse. Didn't love it but shock factor 10/10.

I’m typically not a found footage fan but I enjoyed this movie. It’s a different concept and a good watch!

Very good. Best found footage film I have ever seen. And I don't usually care for them. The ending is amazing. 4.5*

Honestly it was a very good movie, but the whole storyline of the mom being the baby with the knife or whatever was unnecessary. It made it too convoluted, and in my opinion was kind of stupid, especially because they didn't elaborate on it at all. Like the mom was just a normal person? The whole time? Who reacted normally to the situation? Idk it was a weird storyline that wasn't necessary. Besides that, it was a very interesting movie that I enjoyed. Kept me entertained, since I was sick and dying on the couch haha. 4.5 out of 5.
