Cradle Will Fall aka Baby Blues, the debut feature from the team of Lars Jacobson and Amardeep Keleka, is based (very loosely) on the true story of Andrea Yates – a Texan mother who drowned her five children in the bath in 2001 and is a story of post partum depression taken to the horrific slasher movie extreme. The film is most definitely not for the motherly types out there. With her truck driving husband constantly out on the road, a young mother (Colleen Porch) struggles to raise her three young children alone on a secluded farmhouse. Already suffering from post partum depression, the pressure of caring for her three children causes her to undergo a psychotic break and triggers a filicidal rampage. The only person capable of stopping her murderous attack is her eldest child,...

If you feel like you've seen this week's new slasher flick "The Stepfather" before, you probably have, even if you're not a fan of the 1987 original starring "Lost"'s Terry O'Quinn. That's because the family-bands-together-to-fend-off-the-one-member-who-turns-on-the-rest trope is at the heart of dozens of horror movies.

Need proof? Here's a list of ten different types of immediate and extended family members and a notable cinematic example of each going medieval on their loved ones.

Killer Mom

I'd wager that everybody has said "My parents are crazy!" at least once in their lives. But the filicidal mother in 2008's "Baby Blues" is so far gone into Crazytown that she'll make you want to call your own mom to apologize for ever implying she was nuts. Colleen Porch plays the killer in question, an exhausted mother of four with a truck-driving husband, who snaps one day and begins picking off her own children slasher movie-style; at one point,...

This week in theaters, everyone seems to have opted to go dark, with cinemas offering up grieving families, persecuted immigrants, endangered pop singers and the slow death of intimacy in the internet age. This is... supposed to be summer, right?

"Afghan Star"

With the American version still able to compel 30 million people into a zombie-like trance each week, "Pop Idol" is the latest craze sweeping the nation of Afghanistan, where contestants are subject to a campaign of intimidation that puts Simon Cowell's abrasive jibes in perspective. Having snagged both the Audience Award and a Directing Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival, director Havana Marking goes beyond the bright TV lights to follow four of the season's finalists, including female contestants under constant threat of violence and death. In English, Pashtu, and Dari with subtitles.

A truck driving father heads out on a run at a most inconvenient time when his wife happens to be on the brink of a mental breakdown. With three children and a young baby, "Mommy Dearest" is left to deal with her life of isolation on her own. If you can't handle mothers killing babies, do not watch this movie. Baby Blues features a plotline of post-partum depression that starts out uber-realistic in showing the mothers' psychotic breakdown. It's "delivery" is so tense and scary that I honestly have not been this frightened in a movie for a long time.

This disturbing vein continues throughout the movie, however it shifts from realism to flat out slasher mode and thankfully so. I found myself talking out loud to the children and yelling at the screen or just simply had my hand over my mouth in outright fear expectancy. Colleen Porch is simply terrifying.
