Other Mommy

This was such a fun horror movie. I don’t really know why some people are hating on it.

It breaks the cliche of the kid being the only one able to see the monster/entity in the first 10 minutes of the movie, and in doing so it dials the tension right up from the outset. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I was so invested that quickly into a horror movie in a long time.

I will say the problem with doing that so early on, is it then becomes hard to maintain that level of intensity throughout, and I think that ultimately made for a slightly weaker 3rd act. But overall there’s just so many good things going for this that it didn’t really matter.

The main cast are all incredible in their respective roles; mommy, daddy, daughter and especially other mommy too. The VFX are terrifying in the best of ways. I actually just had a really enjoyable time watching this.

I know it’s getting bad reviews but I personally liked this. There’s a few truly eerie scenes. I liked the other mommy was not this evil creepy monster. She had more personality than that. Sure, some of the narrative is weak and not perfect but did it need to be? It’s a horror movie that scared me, and for that I liked it.

not scary. just bad. It had potential but none of the jump scares were good. it had like 30 times it should’ve ended and the lighting was trash. Every time something new came on I genuinely laughed because what in the world was going on.

As we say in brazil "uma boa farofa".

So bad

2/10 absolute garbage
