So this movie is not one to put on to fall asleep. It will keep you entertained to say the least. Def worth a watch worse case scenario you'll have something to talk about at the end and Monique is always a good watch. She was kinda corny at the end but ultimately I'd recommend. Especially if you have nothing else to watch. Oh lord so apparently I need more words..... soooo okay! Obviously if you can't tell l'm not a bot lol so watch the movie, enjoy and my goodness who knew I'd have to right 600 words just to leave a dang review. I guess I have to say last but not least ignore the bad reviews, Im not sure which movie they watched.
Do not listen to other people spouting negativity. This movie is chilling, and Monique is absolutely at her best.. a true exercise in madness...... she truly proves why she is such an excellent and beguiling actress, and is deserving of her academy award... with a twist you will not be ready for... she plays a wife who is whole family gets murdered before her eyes....
Wow, the production budget is obviously low. The Director makes the most of his film.... This movie is slow burn at its best... you truly cannot take your eyes off the characters or the screen for fear you're going to miss something....

Great concept. HORRIBLE execution. I wanted to see Htown knock this out the park. I really was rooting for this. Now the People who rated this 10 lied to you. NOT FRIENDS, They are enablers. The will not help you reach the level you want to go too. There is a science to film, There are people who's already learned them. If you won't go to school, staff your weakness. You limit your success by not taking the time to study (school) your craft. Please take this as an opportunity for grow. I'm rooting for you. The only people whose saying filmmakers don't need school is the ones who didn't go. U got this.
I really don't know why this movie is getting such bad reviews? It was exactly how a horror should be. There was suspense and plot twist, and even had a little comedy. I especially liked how they did not waste their time getting to the point. I don't know if the negative reviews are because there's not blood and gore?
Or it's because people are typically use to films like this with a certain demographic not being as good and watched this one and is possibly upset that a certain demographic was able to produce a decent horror film with a good budget? Or possibly they didn't watch the previews of this movie and assumed it was going to be some Wayne Brothers comical spin on horror movies?

Monique was great , the others not so much . If they took another direction with this for instance , if they would of kept the narrative of the break in and she helped find the killers 1 by 1 and Monique would go out and kill them secretly but the plot twist is she hired them . Another ideas would be she was a loving mother who just wanted revenge, last plot twist she was possessed and the made it an exorcist type flick lol. I gave it a 5 star because I feel like had Monique had a better cast and better script it would of been a great movie but she still made it work with the scraps she was given and momma made miracles every thanksgiving.

- TriviaWhen Courtney Glaudé sent his first cut of the film to Mo'Nique and her husband Sidney, producers on it, they weren't happy and told him to keep working on it. Being inexperienced, Glaudé contacted Lee Daniels and his producing partner asking for help, to which Daniels responded by working for five months on a satisfying cut with him and his team. It was this cut that Mo'Nique finally saw and loved, which led to Daniels and her to reconcile after 13 years of beef.
