Too many unnecessary bad reviews!

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2017)

I went to watch Mother with little knowledge of what it was about, I read a few reviews which differed from 1 star to 10 stars so I was keen to watch this to give my own opinion. From some of the '1 star' reviews I read I personally feel this is a harsh review, i have seen some bad films but it would take a lot to give it 1 star. I will be completely honest while watching the film and even at the end my thoughts were 'I have no idea what just happened' I did then once I got home spend some time googling the plot, some would say 'if you need to google a film to understand it then it can't be good' others may say 'if you kept thinking about it that much you had to find out more, it must be good' so I will leave you to your own opinion. I however after watching a film love reading about it after and I will not say what I found but it did clear everything up and then made me enjoys the film more. Although the film itself is confusing without understanding it I was constantly engaged through the whole film and was left in suspense completely throughout. A lot of reviews I read were saying it is put in the wrong genre, it's not a horror.. I personally feel that we are now moving towards a new genre of horror, how many more poltergeist movies can you watch? I have now seen a couple movies which are not the usual 'horror' genre and I am glad the horror setting is changing, every person will view things in a different way which I like. I gave mother a '7' for the reason I was constantly captivated throughout and thought it was an interesting move for the horror genre and since watching the movie it has constantly been on my mind which I believe a movie should. I would not watch again which is why I didn't score higher but I would say it is worth a watch!
