A first time mother gets delusional over baby.This feature had the feel of a MOW (movie of the week). Though I doubt Lifetime would run it up the flagpole. Sure, it had atmosphere at times and decent lighting, but twenty minutes could have easily been hacked off the ninety-five minute run time.As for the movie, this is writer/director Issac Webb's first feature. Yet, how this slow moving beast of confusion and nothingness got greenlit and made it to the screen is its own mystery. Now, I don't need everything tied up neatly in a bow, after all, I'm a big David Lynch fan, but give me some gateway to possible answers for some of the odd occurrences. Please. Worst still were the characters: Although Elizabeth Shue did her best as whiny mother, Laura, she was simply annoying. In short order, any semblance of compassion by the audience for this pouty trainwreck of a woman was clearly destroyed by the beginning of act two. The workaholic husband, doing his damnedest to impress his bosses – how droll – also sported his own poutiness in the face of actor Steven Mackinosh (though he somehow manages to secure an entire month off when his wife truly, truly needs help with baby Jessica for real this time). And of course, we had the creepy old babysitter, who… whatever. It's as if Webb plucked his characters off the shelf at your local and utterly decrepit K-Mart.Since there was little happening, especially with a group full of solemn and cardboard characters, the climax was extremely clear from the beginning and leaves the audience without any shock and awe – just a yawn. And a big one at that. In fact, suspense was annihilated early on when it became blatantly obvious this was one of those "Is it in her mind?" movies.Regardless, Webb and the rest did not bring anything new or palpable to the genre with this drek. Give a half-star to the Camera and Electrical Department for making this drek look good on some level.

Seeing the very poor rating this movie has on this site one might think this is just a piece of crap movie, just another straight to DVD filler that will never be remembered after its release, if it will ever be. You couldn't be more wrong. I think the poor notes most people give has only to do with the very uncomfortable subject of the movie, especially the infanticide aspect of it. You can even see that people say they like the movie only to be put down with the ending. surely people wanted a typical Hollywood ending where all family lived happy ever after. Even I, who really liked this picture, was left a bit shocked with the outcome; I wouldn't put a mother killing her child as a fairytale ending. Elizabeth Shue gives a brilliant performance as a postpartum depressed woman who becomes utterly psychotic. Steven Mackintosh should also be credited for his portrayal of a husband who doesn't know what to do, which would be the case of 99% of man. Great movie but not, in any shape or form,a feel good movie of the year. Come to think of it, if your wife or husband wants to have a baby, show them this film.

I went into this movie with the notion that Elizabeth Shue is a great actress. And she has made a lot of great movies. But the reality is, not even a miracle could've saved this movie from disaster.The story is flat. It doesn't go anywhere. And it is entirely predictable. And on top of that, the scenes in the movie drag on-and-on. To the point that, it was a test of will for me to sit through the entire film.Even if I were to look at it as a low budget movie, which it is. I cannot find a single aspect of the movie that had any promise whatsoever.Bottom Line: If you must see this movie, then rent it. Because if you purchase this movie, I can almost guarantee that you will feel ripped off!!!

OK well, I've just seen the movie. First I expected a lot from it, it had a promising beginning, dark and creepy paranoia stuff, my favs :) But at one point, I've lost it... And since I'm totally annoyed by this ignorance of mine, can PLEASE someone explain couple of things for me? I get it that the movie was based od PPD, but how exactly does that witchcraft woman fit in? And the ending, what the hell was that?!! Last I concluded (at least I thought I was on the right track) was that she bought that witchcraft book, 'fond out' that the lady was doing some kind of black magic over her and she got lost of that baby doll.I sincerely thought that the doll was the last piece of that voodoo crap and we'll have a happy ending. But what the hell happened when she buried that doll? And what happened to her, precisely- with her memory, brain or whatever...? I'm furious and I don't get it! So please, if anyone has a good and (more or less) logical version of the possible ending, it would help a lot :) Than U!!
