Motherly - Istinto primordiale

I gave this 5 stars, because it's quite a good idea for a story, and the mum is a good actress, only thing is that it's totally obvious what the outcome/twist will be.

I didn't enjoy watching this film as I was distracted and annoyed from the start at how horrible the kid is. She should spend the whole movie on the naughty step. I suppose it does make a change from the usual goody goody kids in American films, but she so rude it's actually annoying that the mum doesn't spend the first half shouting at her for being a total brat.

So this wasn't the worse movie I've seen, but it definitely wasn't the best. The acting wasn't bad, some of the camera shots were really good, but the storyline I felt was very weak. The double twist at the end was decent considering my opinion on the storyline itself. I try my best with these suspense movies to have a clear, open mind, so I don't figure out the twist at the end. This movie was a little difficult to do that with. I wish they delved a bit deeper on the characters and their backgrounds specifically the daughter. I feel for a "psychological thriller", the movie was way too short. I don't regret watching it, but I wouldn't freely recommend. If you stumble upon the movie like I did-then sure, I think it's worth a watch.

Better than I thought it would be. The acting was pretty good all around. However, the storyline was predictable. I knew when I watched the trailer. Just hoping I was wrong.

Still, not bad at all.

For the viewer that like some small bonussurprises in the end. Its the silent killer that roams the house in a cat and mouse game of lie and deceift.

Its a lowcost production with of the hook actors, that does a pretty decent job after all, there are too much monologue and some clutching flashbacks in the start that may come to loose some viewers. But the production is ok, a bit overwhelming on the loud ambient score that lurks the background like a tummy full of laksantia.

A well chosen location, where there are loads of hideaways possible and it all turns out freekin evil in the end. The grumpy old man gives a small recommend.

The first half was very slow & boring even though the writing, acting & direction are perfectly fine. The second half is pretty good. If you can make it through the first half, then the second half is worth the wait.
