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.

Rated: 8/10

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.

Wow. All I can say is wow. Horrifying. The mental breakdown of mother and son. Let's just say I'm childless for a reason.

I don't know about this movie ....you will hate the mom for not having any balls ( especially towards the end) worse than you'll hate the kid. My mom would have kicked my a** all over the house! She would have kicked doors in. I wanted to like this movie but the acting is so atrocious and has an overall staged feeling. The movie also hits on every single sociopath / shooter teen stereotype...like a manual ( despondent, troublesome, hurts animals, violent drawings, outbursts of violence, withdrawn, prescription drugs, therapy, obsession with guns and death..even a lizard named Adolf...on and on). It does have an interesting twist at the end which is why I didn't give it fewer stars. It's the acting and the pedestrian storyline that did this movie in for me.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
