Featured reviews
Felt tricked by the trailer it was not really a horror movie at all. The movie was mostly about a mother in law that goes to the bathroom on herself & smeares it everywhere not joking around. This film was overall disgusting. Half of it was the mother-in-law character defecating herself. This was more unintentionally funny than anything else. This movie as a whole is a no rating This is possibly one of the lack of enjoyment. The old step-mother's role is so annoying with her voice and the things she does. The movie just made no sense to me. I wanted to leave, but I ordered food with the movie so I figured I might as well get my monies worth. I will never recommend this movie to anyone, not even an enemy. If you come across my comment, do NOT go see this.
Imagine a friend asking you to explain this film..
"So, an old woman moves in with her in laws. She annoys them by blowing a whistle and speaking in tongues whilst defacating on herself, a lot. The end"
This wasn't horror/thriller, it was a bad comedy with a gollum looking pensioner annoying her pregnant daughter in law for an hour.
I only gave this time due to seeing a24 being mentioned, some of the greatest horror/thrillers of recent times have came with that stamp of approval. I have no idea how this was categorised as a horror movie & it was as thrilling as vegan food.
Avoid at all costs, dont be catfished by the trailers.

Kathryn Hunter is one of the best actors on the planet earth. Though this movie is ultimately unworthy of her talent, it's all in good fun. I wish I could see her on stage. What a legend!
But yeah, about this movie. It made me laugh a few times, mostly at its sheer audacity. There's a lot of flatulent and bodily excrement involved. It's quite literally a shitty movie. And there's gross breast feeding, obviously. How could there not be?
Oh, and Brandy is in it.
As filmmakers, the Egger Brothers have a long way to go before they catch up with their older brother, Robert. They may have something to offer down the road, but cinema this is not.

This movie was just about grossing you out and making fun of incontinence. Nothing scary at all except for a lot of faeces. Predominantly one location movies have trouble keeping the viewer entertained and this one was a stinker. Pun intended! Brandy can find a better script to be a part of. Wouldn't mind seeing more of her on screen but c'mon folks you can do better. Tired script. No horror. Nothing even to be entertained about. So what, your mother-in-law moves in and is has old views and a bit racist. Surprise surprise. If you grew up in the 40's and 50's your viewpoint on popular topics today are not going to align.
I thought it was great. It's not a horror movie in the traditional sense but it feels like it which is a side swipe. It was too real as it was something that can I does happen. I myself may have been very terrified because i never been though it and fear having to deal with something like that.
There is a demographic thing as I feel I fit into what A24 was looking to hook in with this unique film but A24 overall audience maybe too young and hip for the story. I could be wrong, the last horror film from A24 I saw I think was Bodies, Bodies, Bodies which i also enjoyed but definitely would draw a different type of viewer.
I feel bad for Brandy cause it failed and it was not fault of the movie itself.
