Review of Motherly

Motherly (2021)
6/10
the premise has something
22 July 2022
Kate is celebrating her daughter Beth's birthday. There is only the two of them on a remote farm. Beth's father was apparently a killer and they're in witness protection. A couple breaks in and takes them hostage. They accuse Kate of actually doing the killing.

This is a horror indie thriller. I guess. It's not really a horror. The thrills are not really that thrilling. This movie needs to start with Beth solidly as the lead. It should not be Kate's story. Kate is a bit too complicated. I'd rather not dig into that too much. This is all about the twist. It's a great twist but it's not done well enough here. This movie needs bigger actors. It needs some re-arranging.
