A pregnant woman is relentlessly harassed by her husband's cruel stepmother in the feature directorial debut by Max and Sam Eggers.
, although the power of her performance alone would have been sufficient to assure attention for this oddball horror film.
Norwood plays expectant mother Belinda, who along with her husband Norman , can barely keep up with the mortgage payments on the somewhat decrepit old home they’ve recently purchased. The couple appear to catch a break, however, when Norman’s stepmother Solange offers them a sizable inheritance after the passing of Norman’s father.
Belinda is already in a vulnerable state after getting forced out of her position as a university anthropology professor while striving to overcome the earlier stillbirth of her first child, so she’s initially an easy target for Solange’s determined campaign of attrition.
A raging case of incontinence — whether feigned or chronic — becomes another weapon that Solange leverages to force Belinda into an unwanted role as caretaker . In a somewhat odd stylistic choice, the Eggers brothers gleefully lean into a repetitious series of gross-out scenes intended to demonstrate Solange’s attempted humiliation and subjugation of Belinda, to decreasing effect.’s impact as an undiluted genre experience without substantive compensation for the loss.
Norwood is fiercely focused as a beleaguered mother defending her own safety and sanity against a stealthy and unpredictable opponent. Belinda’s gradual transformation only becomes evident once she returns from the hospital with baby Laurie. Forced to face Solange’s unremitting attempts to separate her from her child, Belinda discovers a newfound sense of determination to protect her family and assert herself.
