Featured reviews
Pretty good movie with a nice creepy storyline.. worse part of it is the background music is so dam loud its hard to hear what their saying especially during the parts where their explaining everything..
This film has a slow build up to a conclusion that I, certainly, didn't see coming. I like movies that keep me guessing. The production isn't top quality, no offense to Canada, but I knew right away it was coming from there. I'm not sure what it is about their movies, but I can almost always identify them and/or their actors. Not bad, just different. The writers did a nice job off tying up loose ends that I didn't even suspect existed. The saddest thing about this film is that thing like this actually happened, giving horror writers material for stories to come. This one was inspired by a Canadian adoption agency, but America had its own outrageous orphanage scandal, too. For me, it was worth watching. And, for the record, this ISN'T a phony review, as one reviewer suggests. Each to their own, as the saying goes.
Why do they ruin a movie with LOUD MUSIC and MUMBLING?
LOUD MUSIC leading to a scare factor of zero.
Have to turn the volume high just to hear the MUMBLING of lines and BAM comes the LOUD MUSIC.
This movie has pretty good story, acting and production. What it doesn't have is a good ending. The build up was done well but once it gathers some speed and things start to happen it goes downhill. In the end you'll just be scratching your head and wondering how was all that supposed to work.
I saw a negitive review from September and I had to follow up with a positive one.
This absolutely counts as horror, intriguing plot, spooky turn arounds and as someone who loves traditionally horror (not gore, there is a difference between the two) I think it hit all the boxes and even had two parts I was not expecting!
I sincerely enjoyed it.. I think any female would be creeped out as its about birth, murder, ghosts and demon babies.
hits more to home when your body is capable of birth (my bf and I had different reactions) but he still had it be a 7/10.
Worth a watch! I won't say any spoilers, but it is slow moving and one part your like WHAT? satan?
so good.

- TriviaLoosely based on The Ideal Maternity Home (IMH), located in Chester, Nova Scotia. The IMH, which was a maternity home, for unwed mothers, operated from 1928 until 1947 by William Peach Young, a chiropractor and unordained minister of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and his wife Lila Gladys Young, a midwife, although she advertised herself as an obstetrician. The business was eventually shut down by the government.
