Like everyone else in America and Europe, I know about the tragic Andrea Yates case and how horrible post traumatic psychosis can be from reading about this loving mother who suddenly turned on the people she loved more than anything else in the world: her children. Mrs. Williams aka Mom in "Baby Blues" is the mother of 3 sons, James, Jr. "Jimmy" who is 10, 7-year-old Sammy, and infant Nathan. Cathy, the lone girl is 4 or 5 years old. The Williams family of James, Sr. "Dad", Mom and the 4 children have a normal, everyday life on the farm. Dad is a long haul trucker who leaves his namesake Jimmy in charge of the family when he goes out on business. The children seem to have happy lives, but one day all that changes. Mom starts to hear voices from the family's scarecrow and then everything literally goes to hell on this family as Mom sees her children as bad seeds who must be destroyed. Jimmy is just a little 10-year-old boy who loves his mother, but when she turns on him and kills his siblings, he has to protect himself from her rampage. In the end, Jimmy survives and so does his mother. Dad tells him that the mother was sick and she had post par tum depression that turned her against her children. This is a very good movie about something very few people want to talk about but exists: Post par tum psychosis. The actors are very good, especially Ridge Calipe as the confused, protective Jimmy and Angelina Jolie-lookalike Colleen Porch as the loving mother turned psycho. None of the actors hit a false note in this scary movie!

Man oh man, was this movie disturbing! And no not in the good way, where its over and you're like oh crap! that was creepy. No, in the,I can't believe I was able to sit through that whole movie, kinda way. I thought the premise of the movie was, the house is haunted and its got mom, lets beat this super natural force! But no, the mom just snaps. Which leaves me watching an entire movie of a mother ruthlessly trying to kill her kids. I only continued to watch hoping and hoping, for some kind of explanation or justification, besides she went crazy after her most recent birth of her third child. Like in the Amityville movie ( since they compare Baby Blues to that on the back) where the house is haunted and they need to beat the house. And that ending! Are you kidding me?! That poor boy! This movie so messed up on so many different levels. Seriously I feel like a worse person being able to say I've seen this demented movie.

This movie was good, but it could have been so much better. It could have been the SCARRIEST MOVIE EVER!!! What could be scarier than your own mother loosing her mind & coming after you to kill you & brothers & sisters. The film was shot well & the acting was good (the mothers acting was VERY good) The filmmakers did a good job of keeping me on the edge of my seat, but I do think they fell short in couple of areas. The mother's transition into madness was not done well. They should have spent more time letting us get to know her, (though I did like talking in the mirror ala Travis Bickel in Taxie Driver) The other thing that DROVE ME CRAZY was the children's lack of reaction to deaths of the their siblings!! If you see your brother or sister killed by your mother, you would not only be scarred, but HORRIFIED!! The filmmakers also did not give us chance to feel the lose of children we had gotten to know. When each one was killed, we just moved on to the chase, like a tired Friday The 13th sequel. But despite it's short comings, I was still on the edge of my seat throughout last half of the movie. It's definitely worth checking out.

and this friendly suggestion is good for you too, all who love good movies including thrillers, because this is NOT, by all means, a thriller nor a "good movie". It was intentionally made in order to frighten the s***t out of you! Also there is no plot, no characters, it's shallow and based on creepy twisted minds of the writer and directors. Nothing is there which could be based on true events, despite the fact that occasionally there are women who murder their off-springs.Ridge Canipe - Jimmy - acts quite well but all the others are just disasters. Well, there's not really a plot to act with. The little girl acting is so bad that I wonder if all talented little girls mothers gave up Hollywood's dream.***BEWARE - SPOILERS AHEAD***Next are some BS points containing ***SPOILERS***;1.In a country's quite night every noise is heard clearly and loudly. No way an intensely horn blowing wouldn't get intention/reaction. And the old man's hearing was perfect and the music's volume was low. 2. Combine chase - same as no.1 (living in the country I know what I'm talking about).3. No way the special sound of the radio-transmitter wouldn't caught the attention of the driver, no matter how loud is the music. (same as with cell-phones).4. A mass-murderer, is always considered as psychotic (if not a psychopath) and being "a danger to society", therefore is kept locked away in an asylum/jail for a long time and should take drugs for the rest of hie/hers life. The same goes for crazy mothers who murder not "only" their children but their neighbors and dog's neighbors as well. Being psychotic means that the episode might return under pressure.5. American authorities are strict and severe in all issues concerning child-care. No way a parent, under such horrific circumstances, would be aloud to take his psychologically and physically wounded child back home under the care of his crazy mother.There is much more crap in this pile but I have my life and many good movies are waiting there for me.
