Still/Born

Let's put it like this, the beginning of Still/Born was promising but the second part of the movie was just a letdown. In the end it's just an average soft horror movie. They could clearly have done something much creepier and scarier with all those ingredients. The creepy parts were not bad but there were just not enough of them to make this a horror movie to remember. The cast was just about okay I guess. I'm not a big fan of some parts of the acting from Christie Burke. It didn't look real at some points. The story wasn't bad, at least for the beginning, but towards the end I was losing my interest. It's one of those horror movies where you look at the cover and you think it's going to be great but then you end up disappointed.

I'm not familiar with any of this actors other work, but this role has made me take notice. This film in itself though is pretty cliche. You will see more than one scene that looks just a little too similar to others from popular films in the genre with no sense of homage.

I went in with no expectations and came out thinking it was a pretty good movie. Have no idea where the title came from. It really has nothing to do with the movie. Pretty good acting and kept my attention throughout. Really makes you think what a woman goes through after child birth. I wouldn't say its great, but definately above average and worth the watch.

I had not heard about this movie prior to getting the chance to sit down and watch it. And being a lifelong fan of horror movies, of course I took the time to sit down to watch it.

I will say that the acting in the movie was really good, and that was definitely what carried the movie most of the way.

The story, well, let's just say that it was mundane and generic, and something that has been used countless times before in the horror genre. So you shouldn't expect anything groundbreaking or innovative here.

The special effects in the movie were good, although there weren't used in an abundance.

This was more of a psychological take on the mother's mental state than it was an actual horror movie.

I had hoped for more focus on the Lammashtu, but that wasn't the case.

All in all, an average foray into the horror genre, but this is hardly a movie that I will watch a second time.

Hey, you! Do you like corny, lazy, hackneyed tropes? If so, step right this way!

The film starts out fairly well and builds slowly but quickly nosedives into a crescendo of awful horror cliches and jump scares.

One positive: Michael Ironside is in it... but, even then, that's just a glorified cameo.
