    Post partum depression taken to the extreme. Some of the scenes in this film were almost too over performed... some were sickly atrocious. The mother played crazy very well, and the young boy did a pretty decent job, though. The rest of the cast were laughable, at times. Just ano... read morether slasher film with a little twist...and not a great twist.

    Be warned if you are a parent as this as shocking sence of violent toward children. A well acted low budget horror flick which i believe is based loosely on a true story.It make you think afterwards about your loved ones and maybe how lucky we are.!

    I am too speechless for this terrible fIlm...it left me upset. It's about A sick mother whose newborn dies, so she kills her other five children and Drown Them, stab them, and shoot them. I love babies\chiildren, so this was hard for me to watch. Based on A true story, I still ha... read moreve to give it credit for It's devastating and gruesome killings.

    I have to say that this is not so much of a reccomendation but more of a warning. I got about half way through this and I had to turn it off. I havent felt so uncomfortable watching a film for many years. Okay the subject matter was never going to be soul lifting but I didnt real... read morely think that the filmmakers would have captured the pure mania and fear that the mother and kids felt. I got past where she murdered he baby and tried to drown her 6 year old daaugter before I couldnt watch any more. Dont get me wrong. I have given the film a low rating for the fact I didnt see it all. The acting up to the point I watched it was just too realistic, the camera angles and direction were just superb...I just couldnt take the look on the kids faces as she went mental on them......damn fine film making, just not for me.

    ummm... a movie like this is strong, I mean we are used to seeing violence, but towards children it's pretty disturbing. It was a good movie, I just wished they would've spent more time to see the mom fall into that stage, see how she got tp that point and not just jump into the ... read morekilling but still good, the ending was, for me, pretty bad, just like countless horror flicks do, set itself for a sequel. it's still a decent movie

    A chilling & terrifying psychological thriller about a mom that suffers from postpartum depression,based on a true story.

    OMG this movie is horrible. Its not a horror, its a brutal violent traumatic intrepetation of 'actual events'. I seriously wonder about those who enjoy this movie and what parents let their kids act in this.

    "Mommy" the main character and love interest brings back some good olde fashioned discipline. It made my insides feel like fresh warm Boston cream.

    It was ok,I hope this film wakes some people up as to how severe some women really can suffer from post- partum depression.Sure this was a Hollywood flick,and a severe case is shown here,but this just had me reeling thinking of what Andrea Yates did to her children...
