M.O.M.: Mothers of Monsters

I was hooked by the concept and the movie didn't disappoint. Love the found footage element, a device used very effectively. Well done!

I honestly wasn't sure how to react while watching M.O.M. A psychological thriller about two characters, a mother and a son, each trying to survive the other in a deadly game. The tension throughout the film kept me hooked as I watched with a sense of guilt and sorrow; the deterioration of their disturbing relationships caught on hidden cameras planted throughout their house. Director Tucia Lyman was in command throughout, and the two lead actors, Melinda Page Hamilton and Bailey Edwards, gave strong performances. The film style, cinematography, and editing added to the unsettling emotions throughout the film. I highly recommend M.O.M, which grabs you from the beginning to the end without letting go.

A tense, engrossing thriller, I was pleasantly entertained with this story that felt real and genuinely disturbing. It moves forward at a good pace with plenty of twists and reveals that kept me captivated. Parents especially will find it particularly relatable and frightening, and it provides some food for thought on parenting, abuse and trauma. The film certainly isn't for the faint of heart, but the scenarios and violence both entertain and make a point. And I particularly liked the clever use of practical cameras. But what really sells the story is the impressive, powerful acting from the two leads which add to the film's authenticity, relatableness, and emotional power.

This movie kept me wondering what was going to happen. It was a nice pace. I also think it was very realistic. Definitely worth the watch.

A solid entry to the suspense , psychological, horror found footage genre. Personally thought there was seeds planted earlier in the film that could of took it down a different route, which may of improved the over all movie and mystery. But the ever changing conflict and complex relationship on a tight rope pulling between love and hate is really the core of the movie and where it stands out, it's well enough acted to be convincing and it chugs along at a nice pace to keep you engaged There is movies out there with similar concepts done better, perhaps not in this style, but I well recommend this movie nonetheless.
