False Positive

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.

This movie definitely suffers from "Trying to Do Too Much" Syndrome. While the initial premise is intriguing, it quickly fell apart. It tries to be Rosemary's Baby, but with too many messages, too many symbols, and not enough clarity.

It's not a horror, and I think the lead actress does a great job aside from her normal roles. You can feel her pain. Plot was a little shady, but as a new dad it kept my blood pressure up. ** don't watch if you want a horror, it's just stressful.

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.
