False Positive

This movie resembled a romantic B-movie at times but left me so disturbed that I wish I'd never watched it. I hope someone reads this review and spares themselves the horror.

2 out of 5 stars.

False Positive is a bad horror film that tries to disturb you more than it provides scares and thrills. The cast is forgettable and dull with there performances. The plot is about a young girl visiting a fertility clinic to help get pregnant. There is something more going on about the clinic and why her husband is obsessed with her going there. Or could she delusional.

The films script and direction spent majority of the movie in the fertility clinic. Seeing Pierce Brosnan as the doctor and telling the main girl that everything is perfect and doing great as he checks her out. Thats where most of the film takes place. And other half is with main character spending it on lunch dates with other expecting mothers.

Boring film. Disturbing and weird ending. Tedious performances with the cast. This film is worth missing.

I don't really understand the plot. The story has premise as a mystery thriller, but it is confusing. Questions aren't answered, so I don't actually know what really happened in the film.

Conceived as more of a 'Rosemary's Baby' (Roman Polanski, 1968)-style horror film, John Lee's 'False Positive' attempts to craft an intriguing social commentary of sorts around modern fertility, the evils of the patriarchy, and men's desires for control over women's bodies. The movie has its decent thrilling moments, but the lifeless script and bland performances damn the film. One of the weakest entries in A24 library.

I am so glad to see that I'm not the only one who watched this movie and came here to vent.

This was a disjointed, mess of a movie! It felt like I was just watching random scenes of a boring life. There just wasn't anything to like about this. None of the characters were interesting. It has a vague "Rosemary's Baby" vibe to it but doesn't come close to being even half as good.

Just spare yourself the headache and waste of time.
