Its "happy ending" feels like a threat instead. Because this isn’t about unyielding love. It’s about the burden of truth. It’s not perfect messaging, but I applaud the conviction.

The Voices of Our Mother doesn’t work, but it’s far from a disaster, and I sincerely hope Mark O’Brien tries his hand at more horror in the future.

Gripping family drama collides with a clever twist on the possession subgenre of horror in The Voices of Our Mother.

3.5/5

The Voices of Our Mother’s slow burn ignites when Shiela McCarthy lets her freak flag fly but it also does a nice job of blending family dysfunction with the supernatural.

I was so bored after 29 minutes I had to turn it off and the characters were just annoying. Every single one. Big no.
