3/4
An inspired-enough take on a woman's horror, where the fear of losing her other baby becomes a terror itself, as expressed through an excellent performance. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 02/08/2018
Works most effectively in its subtler, more enigmatic moments than when it indulges in familiar horror film conventions. Nevertheless, it does offer a consistent level of tension, a few decent scares and a terrific lead turn by Christie Burke. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/08/2018
Christensen and co-writer Colin Minihan mostly repeat old beats from suburban supernatural horror films like "Poltergeist" and "Paranormal Activity," but strong actors and lean, unfussy storytelling ought to be more than enough to please genre buffs. Go to Full Review

Artfully crafted, dark, and downright freaky. Go to Full Review

Still/Born ends up revelling far too much in cliché to truly standout as a worthwhile horror concerning motherhood and parenthood. Go to Full Review

Still/Born may not cleverly shake themes about like Prevenge - morphing motherhood fears into something unexpected - but that doesn't weaken messages. Go to Full Review

angie s 10/31/2022 Christie Burke lived the role and really brought it to life, but there were too many missed opportunities in the plot to make me love it. See more 03/25/2021 You can't really ask more of a horror movie. It was paranormal, it was scary, it was psychological, it was thrilling, it was well directed, acted and paced. The timing was particularly brilliant. It was also disturbing and so true, at least in my opinion. Enjoy! See more guy p 10/22/2020 Story that's been told 100 times but nothing original is added. The whole movie is just so slow and predictable and at one point is inundated by random mythology. Simple communication would've resolved the whole plot instead of dragging it out for an hour and a half. Acting falls very flat, and the ending is so awful it makes you regret watching the movie at all. See more 05/08/2020 This movie came recommend by shudder and favorable reviews on Rotten Tomatoes but wow was it bad. The director portrayed a young family going through a very unique situation but intelligent seemingly sensitive people in a loving relationship so why when things start getting really crazy does the mother not communicate or share video and audio proof with her husband why does he wire the whole house with cameras and never use it, she never seems to resist or acknowledge her own downgrading condition when protecting her baby seems to be her main motivation, she doesn’t even sleep with the baby in her room at night and even when proof of how incredibly disturbed she is discovered nothing official is done. This movie became so infuriating I had to fast forward skim through the final act, I get what the movie makers were going for with the psychological aspect but don’t present certain control aspects to a story then completely disregard them. See more 03/07/2020 Psychological build-up to some good action. Delivers on some creepy scares, but stays withing downtrodden paths. See more 03/05/2020 2.25* It had some good moments but usually followed that up with a ridiculous action/decision. And I wasn't a fan of the ending. It's one of those movies that when act 3 starts you're already thinking the outcome is totally based on the ending. The acting wasn't bad so that was ok. But at the end of the day, there were far more negatives than positives, so it only gets 2.25*. See more Read all reviews
