An average horror film with some good ideas but few real surprises
Sybil Warren has been confined to a psychiatric hospital. She claims that her unborn baby was stolen by her fiancé's parents who gave her a forced caesarean section because they believe the baby is 'special'. She herself claims to have certain telepathic powers. Is she telling the truth or is she schizophrenic as the doctors believe? Either way when she gets out of hospital she will go after those she believes wronged her.
This isn't a bad film; it isn't great either; it is one of those average films one watches without regretting but probably forget about soon afterwards. The set-up is interesting and for most of the film there is some ambiguity about Sybil's state of mind. The end is less surprising but quite entertaining. The cast is solid enough and the rural settings are pleasant. Overall certainly not a must see but it passed the time well enough.

Solid 6 but nothing more
Good thriller you go thrilled all the way,
Some good acting some bad
Good movie idea but noting new
Ends without any explanation of the subject
Summary, its a watchable movie, makes you wonder what will happen, so keeps your eyes attached to the screen. Solid 6..but definitely not more..
Good ideas but underdeveloped
There are some good ideas here. It really could have been a very good film with more work. The central premise is underdeveloped, however, and the script lacks any real spark. Although the build up is a little slow, the final reel should have been full of fireworks, but instead it was a bit of a damp squib. I liked the ideas, though, and I'd love to see someone have another go at making this.
Much better than current ratings suggest
When I saw this film it had a rating over 6, hence me watching it. It was a lot better than I thought, so I'm surprised to see it's current lower rating.
At 1st I wasn't paying full attention, soon I had set my ipad down & put my glasses on to watch properly.
Truth is Stranger Than Fiction
Shout-out to Tore Says for introducing this movie to her audience. Thank you!
Decipher for yourself what resonates with you and what doesn't, this is basically how it works, so much truth in this little hidden gem.
