reply

yes and no, you will leave the cinema thinking what the hell did i just watch. It is more like babadook TBH deals with emotions, emotional trauma and grief.

This is like if mother! actually worked. I got the same kind of vibe from this movie as I got from mother! but I didn't leave the theater wishing I could get my time and money back.

The film this movie reminded me of the most was Rosemary's Baby

reply

reaLLY? that's actually kind of exciting then

reply

Rosemary's Baby is the film I had in mind as the credits rolled.

reply

Same here!
That last scene in particular.

reply

For sure the final scene, but also the way it gradually shifted gears from a family drama/thriller into a supernatural story.

reply

I swear the background such as the evil grandmother involved with evil cults affecting her family was similar to the background story of Paranormal Activity. The two gals christy and Katie in paranormal activity had a grandmother involved with some kind of cult and and it affected and destroyed the lives of her daughter and granddaughters not to mention others around them.

Just saw it and felt the same. Overall I really enjoyed it.

reply

No. It's closer to The Babadook... Nothing at all like Mother!
