Mother Tongue

Thanks to its clever writing, fantastic direction, and captivating performances, audiences seeking the quintessential easy horror watch will not be disappointed. Similarly, viewers desiring a little more grey matter stimulation will also have their prayers answered. The script is akin to both iceberg and onion, for beneath its surface lurks a multitude of layered themes that traverse a range of challenging social issues. Hence, it's a film that's equally easy on the eyes, capable of encouraging empathy, and shifting perspectives on some truly important issues. A real intellectual horror humdinger!

Within some themes lies horror and comedy side by side. To spot these themes and get them into a story which feds on our fear and our need for laugh as well is a mountain to climb for a storyteller. But this short piece does it well it tells with a diabolic smile about what a beautiful and bloody demonic thing our wish for children (and the harsh reality of having them) could be. With a diabolic lust for dark images and some funny ideas abour urban magic the short is directed on the knifes edge which is lietrally the last resort in the movie. Well acted, well shot, well done! Watch it, and get a lough that grows in your belly like a demonic child that will eat you up from the inside.

As a long-time fan of horror genre, I've always been into really dark, evil stuff. I've had a little to no love for horror-comedy marriage. But this little movie changed it. It definitely sits within horror realm, but it takes comedy further than most, and it's funnier than anyone would expect. Glenn did a splendid job directing it, and Amelia proved to be a great actress. But Stephen Hunter as Brian is just hilarious. Whether it's due to his acting chops, or Amelia's writing, his scenes were the highlights for me.

I recommend checking it out this gem. Just don't spit out popcorn while laughing!

This gem of a short movie screams to the struggles so many of us can relate when trying to conceive. For some it's straight up easy. For others it's a nightmare that sometimes doesn't end with what our hearts and souls desire so much! Literally you can become obsessed. Amongst the personal pings I felt from my own experience, I couldn't help but be fully invested in this film from the get go! So enjoyed this! Had me giggling whilst relating to the hardships! Not much has made me laugh and cry at the same time. The ultimate watch!! Can't wait to see what they do next. Great message and cleverly written, acted and filmed. Highly entertaining and brilliant to boot!

Horror, humour and sexy to boot! What's not to like. The desperate longing for motherhood is the device around which the entire plot revolves, which in itself is a brilliant use of motivation for the two main female characters, played superbly by Amelia Foxton and Chiara Gizzi. Performances are top notch, with special mention to Stephen Hunter who swings between a bumbling buffoon and a rather alarming master of the dark arts. With brilliant editing setting the pace, this clever film, deftly directed by Glenn Fraser, will engage from beginning to end. Must make mention of the great music as well. All round, an excellent piece of film-making.
