The Midwife

Charlie and Lissie are expecting their first child. For some unknown reason, they have a young woman living with them. It is said that she is a tenant, but she lives there the same way the couple do. She is with them constantly, watching tv, eating together, offer relationship advice, ,acts like an annoying sister.

Out of nowhere, a woman who claims to be a midwife comes to their door, offering medicine to drink and acts snobbish and strange (not in a horror way, but more in a "no one would say that" way)

I love horror, I love pregnant horror movies, and being Scandinavian, I love British movies. Still, this was a mess of a movie. No horror, nothing scary, nothing remotely unsettling, not even one jump scare. No shadows, no ghosts, no apparitions, nothing. Its not chilling, its just fricking weird. People act and speak like they are in a school play in the seventies.

The "twist" is not one, and the reason for the man and female tenant sneaking out and around is painfully obvious.

Wow what a twisted movie loved it. Watched it 2 times love the plot.

Omg was not sure about this at first but was good so many twists I got confused but it makes it a great film. Something different!! About time !!

Terrible film, absolutely abysmal.

I sat down to watch the 2021 movie "The Midwife", being under the impression that I would be in for a horror movie. And given the movie's mediocre rating here on IMDb (5 stars as I am writing this), I figured, that there might be a chance that the movie would be entertaining enough. So of course I sat down to watch the movie.

And boy was I in for a rude awakening. "The Midwife" from directors Ryan Gage and Marta Baidek was a massive swing and a miss.

First of all, the term horror might be stretching it a bit. Thriller perhaps, but horror? Not so much. Not unless you consider prolonged periods of nothing happening as being labeled horror, then sure.

The storyline told in "The Midwife" was sluggish and lacking interesting contents, so my interest in the movie was quickly fading as the movie trotted on in a gut-wrenching slow pace with nothing happening.

And the acting in the movie was bland. But of course, with the actors and actresses having nothing to work with in terms of a proper script or interesting characters, how could they possible put on something outstanding?

I gave up on "The Midwife" about halfway through. By that time I was just fed up with the boredom of nothing happening. And this is not a movie that I will ever be returning to watch the rest of.

My rating of "The Midwife" lands on a three out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value of the movie.
