Kindred

Genuinely frightening, believable in its descent into a hopeless situation, and a stellar and memorable performance from the ever-reliable Fiona Shaw!

Anyone who has been in a psychologically abusive relationship, especially where the family of the significant other are not only well off, but brilliant at gas-lighting will definitely empathize with Charlotte! I personally know how hard it is to maintain sanity when you're constantly being told you're the crazy one! This movie can be very, very triggering! That said, it is really good... really frustrating, but definitely worth watching!

Meh, gaslighting and paranoia overdone.

Oooh this is good. Our highly talented director Joe Marcantonio shows familial coercion and abuse is of course way more terrifying than any number of jump scares or ancient tales of demons in masks. Tamara Shaw is our unfortunate victim , playing subtly enough to make us wonder occasionally if she is the victim at all .The dependable Fiona Shaw is the unhinged mother in law from hell (quite literally so when she loses her temper), and operating in tandem with the slimy and sinister Jack Lowden,they cut off all available escape routes. Heartbreakingly ,and inevitably, it seems no authority figure is riding to the rescue ( I would have loved more screen time for Anton Lesser as Dr. Richards ) . A bonus is a tantalisingly gruesome back story ( and if no more Dr or MIL screen time was available ,this would have been a neat diversion) as well as a brief homage to Hitchcock too. If you get sick of your own family at Christmas try this one.

Be careful who you have a baby with - their family might be crazy. And this film could've been a trip - but it failed to deliver on conveying real fear and captivity on the part of the protagonist.

Great convincing performance

Despite a strong cast, delivering good performances, this is a dreadful patchwork of an awful lot of tropes already done, and done better.

An hour and a half of my life that I'm never getting back. Genuinely awful in every way.

Horrible ending to an interesting movie.

The ending is not satisfying but it doesn't negate the whole purpose of the movie. The acting is pretty great and really shows a new mother's struggles within the healthcare system.
