Thriller Not Rated
Plot
A woman is tortured by the sudden disappearance of her only child years before. Obsessed with having another baby, she is devastated and driven to emotional crisis when discovering her new husband is infertile. Gripped by despair, the woman begins to resign herself to the bitter likelihood of never having another child. Striking up a friendship with two discarded young laborers hired to re-paint her son's now silent room, the three lost souls form a disturbing bond as the boys are led deeper into the woman's tormented world. Her family's suspicions of this unsettling new friendship sets off an irreversible series of events, leading to madness and murder as the horrors of the past collide with the sins of the present, ending in tragedy and terror.
Acting
Everyone played their roles very well, but to me Jenny Dare Paulin stood out from the rest in her supporting role.
Gore
A slit throat
Sex/Nudity
the lead women is topless while taking a pregnancy test, and fully nude during a few sex scenes, there are also several non-nude sex scenes.
Final Thoughts
A good psychological thriller that was very well made all around and a terrific use of the low budget, with people with real acting talent, despite the lack of any start power. Certainly worth a viewing though, it probably has little to no repeat viewing value. Lot of twists and a very good plot and storytelling.
