What we get as the audience is a story told exactly as its creator intended, with a powerful complexity that lasts far past the initial hour of viewing. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 08/25/2015
With a gripping performance by Gaby Hoffmann... the first feature by its writer-director is a winningly unsettling genre exercise whose style and polish belie the constraints of its microbudgeted five-day shoot. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/13/2024

Stewart Thorndike emerges as a director to watch with this unsettling, queered up version of Rosemary's Baby. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/12/2020
4.5/5
It tackles difficult subjects, subjects few dare to cover and even fewer manage to bring forth the anguish, torture, guilt, sadness, inner turmoil, etc of a grieving mother. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/30/2019
2.5/5
What could easily have spiraled into a campy marathon instead gains a remarkable semblance of engagement from its poker faced resoluteness and a committed central performance from Gaby Hoffman. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa L @Agent99 1d Firstly, it was a rip-off of "Rosemary's Baby." Secondly, I didn't find the characters likeable. the ending was only so-so. I would recommend that you don't waste your time viewing this movie. Watch "Rosemary's Baby" instead. See more PridePosterStudios @RT04271525 09/21/2023 Can’t stop thinking about Tate & Lyle. Now I want syrup See more 10/25/2021 Bizarre, effective, powerful flick. And only 1 hour long. See more 05/21/2021 Fine. Just Rosemary's Baby but in the 2010s basically. See more 06/29/2020 Just a flat out terrible movie with terrible writing and acting. How did this receive a 100????? See more 10/18/2019 Modern version of Rosemary's baby...not quite as complex and sophisticated but still good. See more Read all reviews
