This movie is well beyond bad. Lousy acting, lousy script, very thin story, a snails pace and not much character development other than a couple of scenes. By the end I wanted everyone to die just to add something to the story. There is nothing positive I can think of to give anyone hope that they might enjoy this. Believe me, you can and should find something else to watch.

The impossibly beautiful Caitlyn Folley delivers a knockout performance as the new bride of a dominant older man who has a young daughter from a previous marriage: We never really find out what happened to his ex-wife, but it doesn't really matter; We're more interested in what's going to happen to his current wife. Suspense abounds, and Folley portrays a depressive better than anyone since Annette Bening in IN DREAMS: She is mesmerizing to watch from the first frame to the last.

So many unanswered questions.. all I saw in this picture was a nutcase woman, with no answers to why she acts like she does.. Painting the house over and over.. Sigh. Ends up killing her unborn child aswell as her husbonds, while throughout the movie mentally tortures her husbonds daughter.. Why?

This okay but nothing to write home about. It just drags on and on, it doesn't really hook you so that you want to see what happens next. Talk about Debbie Downers, the depressed wife is enough to bring anybody down, even the viewers. It's so slow and there is so little character development that you don't care that much what happens. Pass this by unless you want to nod out.

This movie warms you up for quite a lot of it's run time. It's a good warm up, but it's slow. I think this is absolutely worth your time if you are someone who watches a lot of movies. I'm glad I watched this one. Check out my other reviews to see if your taste jives with mine. Recommended.

Age gaps in relationships ... not uncommon I reckon. And just one of the many themes this movie takes under a microscope. Sometimes things happen and if you can't or won't talk about them, there is a fair chance of you going insane. Certain fruits or other things may help you get the taste of insanity too. But it is not just that age gap, a previous relationship or a step daughter. Though the last part may very well be a large part of our main character losing her marbles as they say. I don't want to boil it down to "woman wants her own kid", because that is also not just it (if it even is something you can see in here). So as you can see the movie might be way more complex in its themes and what it sets out to do. As many would argue though it is flawed and it does not always achieve or convey any of those themes to the viewer in a proper manner. You have to have love for the independent movie - the low budget kind that is very weird too. Because this is what you get here. Not great, bur far from bad too. An interesting dive into human psyche with quite the appalling ending (in a good or bad way you ask? Well I can't really answer that a certain way - because bad might be good or at least interesting even if devastating ... while good might be bad and pulling punches ...)

Boring characters with no chemistry saying & doing a bunch of boring things with no rhyme or reason. No character development, background, nothing to help the viewer care or want to make sense of this. I gave it 1 star because the bland script & dialogue actually helped me fall asleep. Do yourself a favor, skip this!

I hate those types of child demon movies, but this is one that you wish it would happen. It's boring and you just want the two adults to die horribly. A better ending would've been the little girl calling her real mom to pick her up at night. Wait till these crazy people to go to sleep and light both of them on fire. The the next scene would be her real mom picking her up, while the two goofballs burn alive.
