Mothers of Monsters

Nice little potboiler with great direction and interesting performances. With all the choices and platforms out there now its a nice little rush when i come across something that grabs my attention and holds it. Id love to see more from this director. Give it a watch, it really pays off!

This film really got to me. As a 54 year old grandmother with 5 generations living in my family at one time, the state of our nation/world is a constant topic. This is one of the very few movies I have seen that attempts to address a parents perspective of having a very bright but difficult and troubled teenager.

The movie concentrates on the aftermath of a relationship between a mother and son, and only gives a very brief but very basic nod towards real life tragedies and struggles that make this subject so complex.

I am not usually a fan of found footage movies, but the subject of this film made this type of film making (technology) it's own role.

I have to disagree with the one reviewer who mentioned the actor portraying the teenage son average and the actress playing the mother good. Teenagers are often "acting" as they are learning who they are and i thought he was brilliant. The mother had a much more difficult role as she was portraying authentic fears and frustrations of motherhood.

It was good to see Ed Asner in a cameo and as usual he was super.

If you Like or dislike this movie, at least it creates an environment to discuss this topic and in my opinion that in itself makes this movie brilliant.

Mothers of Monsters is a super creepy psychological thriller about a mother that believes she is raising a psychopath. M.O.M. delivers on so many levels. Great performances by the cast and a great script. This movie was so disturbing. I can't recommend it enough.

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 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.
