Le berceau

First, let me say that I didn't watch the whole movie, so my opinion could be skewed, but I doubt it. That said, I'm posting this just to warn certain people not to waste their time. Despite seeing plenty of bad movies, I've never had to stop watching one before The Cradle. I watched about a third of the movie before I couldn't stand the absolute tedium, and had to shut it off, concerned with my mental health.

I tried to watch this movie a while ago, and don't remember any real plot, and the sad thing is, it's really not because I've forgotten it. It just didn't exist, or at least not until halfway into the movie..

I've given this movie the lowest score possible, as unlike normal bad movies, you can't even make fun of it and give it pity points for being a good laugh.

If you do choose to endure this film, you're in for long, dull scenes of dreary dialog and lifeless actors shuffling around as though they've been drugged. Good luck.

With this movie I was expecting one of those (most) badly made horror movies, where u just scream but there's else to it! However this movie really surprised me in a good way, the actor aren't very well known guess that added to not doing so well at the box office,but it's a very good movie. It is carefully done in a way u never expect what the outcome is! To me it resembles "The Others" that movie with Nicole Kidman...yes a tweak here and there would have made it really great, but in spite of that I would say it was pretty darn good, and Im not at all a fan of horror movies, I was just watching it with a friend out t of boredom...

If your looking for that flick that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat then this is your movie because you will be sitting on the edge scratching your head saying why did I waste my hard earned money on these not even a six pack could have help this one. Mr.Haas we have come to expect better from you. First the movie start out you really don't have a clue what going on I'm half way Thur the movie and still trying to figure out what going on. The cast walks around like they have taken bottle of sleeping pills the actors are like in a zombie state the whole movie hey your an actor show some acting ability. The plot was just awful and the acting, editing was bad. The only thing I did like was the way some camera scenes were shoot like in the beginning the show you from a low angle knocking on the door but entering while she enters camera pass Thur the wall. The only winner in this one is the Baby because by the time he is old enough to act in a real movie no one can blame him for being in this one. In my wrap up I say stay far away unless it's a late Sat night and you can't sleep and this is on USA network or some sort of free cable late night show.

SLOW the first 30-45 minutes but if you can hold out this quiet little psychological thriller will RIP your heart right out of your chest

This is a terribly S-L-O-W film, two thirds of the way in and very little had happened. There's a nice air of mystery about the film, it's terribly dark and has the usual scary jumps which all add to the overall effect but ultimately the story just seemed to drag, it was so mind numbingly slow. The acting was unremarkable and the dialogue was extremely quiet. No need for a cradle, Lukas Haas' dreadfully monotone voice was enough to send me to sleep. I can't recall the number of times in this film he called out his wife's name "Julie!". (I'd answer this question myself but that would mean watching the film over again and once was enough). An extremely slow film that lacked any thrill whatsoever. Cradles may rock - alas, this movie doesn't!!
