Honestly this film had the potential to be a lot better but it wasn't, it was super boring most of the time sure it kept me in agony and wanted to see what will happen next but at least 40 something minutes pass to show something scary only towards the end it got more intense but it had nice parts it was average overall.

As others have written, it is not a horror movie at all, but a drama. I don't want to spoil anything, but at the end you question if things events are actually true at all since the lawsuit was unsuccessful. They also try to make you think this practice is still going on, but to back it up they use a very small slip from Rachel Maddow, which in itself will also make you question the validity of the movie and "true" statement being made.

Ridiculous. As a Mexican American this movie is insulting. Movies that push a political narrative are the absolute worst. Don't waste your time because you'll never get it back.

Madres (mums in Spanish) is a fine movie but is not a horror movie. There is a reference to a curse and some business with amulets, but this is perhaps 3 minutes out of 82. The movie is about eugenics. This is the improvement of the human race by 'biologically engineering' out undesirable human characteristics. In this case the undesirable characteristics are being Mexican. It is the stuff of horror movies but in fact the movie is a straight drama intended to prick the viewers social conscious. Production values are good. The film is bilingual and subtitles are liberally used. The cast are committed and characters are well developed. Director Ryan Zaragoza has things well in hand. We even have the obligatory text roll overs at the film's end summarizing the real statistics and data related to eugenics in the States. As I say, it is a fine movie but just not a spooky one despite its' genre being defined as horror.

Started like a half-English-half-Spanish version of ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968), this movie introduces a supernatural theme as a propeller to garner audience interest. Much criticism comes from those who believed MADRES (2021) is a horror flick but found out it actually is "political." They were angry and gave very negative comments. Why? What's wrong with movies contains political ideology, message, or, simply, events? A great percentage of all movies ever made in the world is political. Countless classics are political. Furthermore, this movie brings about a social and historical, not political, issue. The writer and producer have every right to present such issue in any art form. The real problem is on the director's storytelling skill. There is almost no suspense (even the supernatural scenes), somewhat strange arrangement of characters (e.g. Why the sister suddenly appears at the end?), most dialogue is short and conveys little, probably half of it is in the dark so viewing is tiresome, etc. The good thing? Ariana Guerra and Tenoch Huerta. Period.

Slow and disappointing. This is all about politics and government. Wish I had known before and I would have not watched it. Started of a little interesting but the ending was really bad.

So this isn't a horror in the sense people who enjoy horror films would consider. The acting is weak and so is the script. HOWEVER the film highlights the horror that humans are willing to inflict upon each other and for that alone it is real horror. We are the most vile creature walking this planet.

Misrepresented and a very simple (ridiculous) story line. You can see the ending coming halfway through- but I kept watching hoping I'd be wrong. And no scary parts at all- However the two main actors are very good, especially given the poor material they had to work with! I hope they find better parts next time! And despite being annoyed by the movie not being described correctly, I must admit the clothing and hairstyles were pretty good!

I agree this isn't horror in the sense of make believe horror. It is based on real events that happened both within the continental United States and even in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico which is an American protectorate and its inhabitances American citizens. I remember reading about eugenics that were conducted on the island three decades ago when I was a freshman in college. Clarence Gamble, heir to the Proctor & Gamble and Ivory Soap fortunes perform such operations from 1936 to 1960. Gamble was also notorious for medical experimentation. He expanded the distribution of oral progesterone, accepting donations from pharmaceutical companies who, unable to conduct trials in the US, bid for access to the women in his clinics on the island. Through the years Gamble, " was involved in initiatives in Israel, India, Hawaii, Egypt, Japan, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Pakistan, South Africa, and, in the US, Appalachia and the South, where he maintained that a reduction in the birthrate among African Americans was the solution to the region's poverty." Back to the film, I also agree the ghost weren't necessary and did more harm that good. I also thought the ending was lame and very stupid. It's a shame this subject matter showed up in a Blumhouse flick when it really deserves to be told in a legitimate documentary. Great thing about our current era is this stuff is now documented on the web and a Google search for: United States and Eugenics will bring up tons of detailed information. So much for the The Hippocratic Oath in the best national on earth, as they say. Umm, yeah.
