What
starts
out
as
a
frightening
prospect
with
some
amazingly
tense
scenes
unfortunately
falls
into
a
mixture
of
gratuitous
sadism
and
confused
illogical
outcomes.
A
pregnant
woman
lost
her
partner
in
a
car
crash,
but
luckily
the
baby
was
unharmed.
Months
later
she
is
about
to
give
birth.
Alone
at
home
the
night
before
she's
due
in
the
hospital,
a
strange
woman
(seeming
to
know
her)
confronts
her
at
the
door
and
stalks
around
the
house.
When
the
police
arrive
to
check
the
place
out
she
is
a
bit
more
calm,
but
this
unstable
woman
has
slipped
in,
and
is
set
on
cutting
the
baby
from
her
stomach!
For
the
most
part
the
makers
of
this
very
dark
chiller
manage
to
keep
the
momentum
going
in
this
single
location
of
a
double
storey
home,
the
mother-to-be
trying
to
escape
the
barrage
of
senseless
violence.
Additional
characters
are
introduced,
but
there
are
many
frustrating
scenes
with
predictable
results.
An
annoying
trait,
not
new
to
cinema
but
seeming
more
prevalent
as
movie
themes
cannibalize
one
another,
is
the
insistence
on
the
bad
characters
afflicting
pain
or
death
on
animals.
In
this
case,
the
antagonist
would've
had
far
more
depth
of
character
had
she
stroked
the
cat
and
let
it
go
than
the
obvious
neck
breaking.
Audiences
aren't
that
stupid
that
you
need
to
tell
them
someone
is
really
bad
if
they
hurt
defenseless
animals.
Animals
are
already
in
such
danger
of
stupid
human
beings
that
I
fear
this
may
set
a
precedent
for
morons
who
watch
these
movies,
thinking
it
may
be
fun
to
try
it
themselves...
Blatant
digital
images
of
the
baby
in
the
womb
detracts
a
bit
from
the
realism,
but
hopefully
most
will
look
past
this
and
the
other
flaws
and
enjoy
this
as
a
tense
thriller
with
horrific
consequences.
Fans
of
a
much
older
Betty
Blue
star
Béatrice
Dalle
will
be
glad
to
see
her
in
a
different
role
like
this.
