This is directorial, empathic, and emotional GENIUS for any mother that knows the struggle.
The problem is the title & categorisation. It's not a comedy horror at all. It's a surreal drama. "Night B***h" is also a provocative, fun name. This is NOT a fun film. So viewers are kind of set up for disappointment: They're not getting what they signed up for at all.
It's also highly niche as frankly, you won't relate to this film unless you're a mum.
Years of sleep deprivation, physical trauma, and abuse (yes - children can be highly abusive towards their parents:) You cannot comprehend it unless you've lived it.
Amy Adams gives her best performance to date. It lifts the veil on that which we covet: the "happily married" couple, the big house in the suburbs, the mum who can afford to stay at home. How lucky! When the reality is servitude, drudgery, isolation, and total loss of self.
If you or anyone around you has just had a baby, watch this. You'll learn 10 X as much as you would from reading "what to expect when you're expecting".

Pure entertainment! Gore to satisfy the blood lustful SAW franchise fans. Refreshing to have a more ethnically diverse cast with quality actors. Fun to see Chris Rock & Samuel. L in non-comedic roles. Satisfying to see some vigilante justice served.
No; it it's not as poignant as the original "SAW" movie (1). But then none of them have been since.
This has twists, turns, creative death designs, and a half decent plot. It's a bloody entertaining 90 minutes!

This film is SCARY. The suspense - the build: It's dark, and sinister, and troubling.
The evil orphan premise has been done to death; this premise offers a refreshing twist.
It parodies "Vivarium", but the story has a better build & context.
It also explores challenging issues like adoption, puberty, and child on child violence:a truly terrifying subject rarely ever broached in real life or film.
Graphics are decent. Not the best CGI, but certainly enough to be convincing and make you squirm where required.
I'm not really sure why this was slated so badly? It's the anti-superhero genre (which we're becoming familiar with) - but with a twist on that too. It's original. It's scary. It's dark. It's well acted. Give it a go!
