Matriarch

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.

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.

A pretty darn good movie can be made on a budget of $45,000. I have seen more cr$#&y films that cost a million or more. Now if this had been an American made film and it was this good I would be really impressed. But there is no imagination in Hollywood. So much so they need to remake amazing foreign films into complete and utter dreck. American film goers aren't as stupid as Hollywood thinks. We can read subtitles.

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!

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