You Are Not My Mother

I really enjoy these independent horror films based on Celtic / Irish folklore. They have the things I feel that make a great horror tale. They have foreshadowing, crescendoing tension, atmosphere, drama and spirituality. Is this one as good as Witch or Hereditary, no. But it is definitely better than the one millionth remake of exorcist and demon possession films. Far better than a abysmal slasher film.

I really hope filmmakers look for more terror inducing folklore from past cultures. These really make good topics for horror enthusiasts. Okay, not all horror film fanatics are the same. But I definitely prefer this style of horror.

As for this film, I feel all of the actors gave very good performances. It's definitely worth a watch.

It's not boring at all!! This film has good quality, great acting, very good cast and nicely directed, that's a lot for a horror movie. Don't expect anything gore or special effects (it has some though) it has some subtle scares and it's very enjoyable.

This is a real good slow burn horror. People like to give bad reviews because it makes them feel emboldened. Pretty childish. Very good story that unfolds properly w a solid script. If you're into folklore coupled w horror then you're in good hands.

What a great hidden gem of a film which needs to be heard a lot more. Hazel Doupe plays an amazing role as Char and the connection between her and her 'so called mother' was astonishing. The way you could tell Char loved Angela so much and the agony she had to say "You are not my Mother" must of really hurt.

If anybody wants to see it go watch it on Netflix whilst you have the chance. The only reason I ranked it 7 star is because I didn't feel that scared for a horror and felt more of thriller.

It really shows how mental illness on parent can affect their loved ones especially their children.

I don't mind slow-burn horror, especially if it has deep nuances, interesting plot points, and a captivating atmosphere. You Are Not My Mother has some of those qualities, but driving at a really snail's pace apparently only makes the film has difficulties living up to its promising build-up.
