Matriarch

I enjoyed this movie all the way through. Amazing acting and some uncomfortable scenes mixed in with some very tense moments. Worth a watch.

Pleasantly surprised and highly entertained by this low budget gem.

The writer kind of leads you down the path a little, I was like, oh god this is so predictable! WRONG! Totally threw some serious curve balls and I was gripped.

My wife really liked it and this is seriously high praise as she easily gets bored if films don't keep 'giving'. I think women especially mothers will find themselves unable to look away due to the horrific scenario the mother-to-be gets into - she is also the hero and damn she goes through the mill but not in that standard horror victim way.

The evil family in this movie are so creepy and they often make you cringe.

Matriarch is great - a fresh horror / thriller / creepy mash up.

Very disturbing at times! More of a chilling thriller than horror. I cried at the end and I rarely cry at movies.

It's not a movie for new Moms!!!! Had some twists and turns that I did not see coming. I watched it because someone said it was like Wolf Creek - this is much much much better!

And it does it not badly for a low budget movie. People seem to forget you should be reviewing the movie on its merits based on the budget and the acting and contrary to other reviewers i thought the two main actors were very good but Julie Hannan made the movie for me, she played the part perfectly.

Its a shame the director, producers, cast members had to fill the first 10 or so reviews with 10/10 shill reviews when all those accounts were created at the same time and have only one review its so transparent and its not needed as the movie is well above your average rubbish horror fare this year.

It does evoke the old Hammer House Of Horror feel and being as it is set in my home country of Scotland it offers something a little bit different. Yes some of the Scottish actors were a bit pants but good for a laugh especially the two "wallopers" in the tent scene.

Overall its better than it should be but its nowhere near more than 6/10 but its also not a 2 or 3 which is very unfair I think when this movie trumps most of the low budgeters that have come out of the USA this year and the UK English horror efforts!

Better than average 6 out of 10 for me!

As a mother this film was actually hard to watch at times but that's the thing, I couldn't stop watching it. There's a very harrowing scene with a newborn about 25 mins in but it connects you to the lead character and from that point on you experience every single moment with her. I actually watched the movie again today with my husband - it really stays with you and all my girlfriends have been messaging me to discuss.

It also looks like the movie has gone over some heads judging by some of the the low score reviews. The movie is not your average gory, slasher horror, it's a dark as hell psychological horror with depth. I think many are missing the point - if you liked The Nun - this is not for you!!

The movie definitely has similarities with Misery but It also reminded me of Wolf Creek (a hell of a lot better than Wolf Creek though).

One of the best low budget indies I've seen in a while - if you love a dark indie movies this is for you.
