Warning: Don't have kids.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2014)

This is a very realistic tale about a single distraught mother descending into madness since life just being what it is, through the eyes of her own and her child. I have seen this too many times in real life. I have seen this in, sadly, nearly every relationship around me, including my own horrible upbringing, which eventually led to both my father and my mother committing suicide in very messy ways. We're talking most of my friends, my own family, and as an example; this new girl that I'm seeing. She has a four year old daughter who is awesome, but she's stubborn and a piercing yeller, and had they not been brought into my life as well as I in theirs just a couple weeks ago, things would have gone horribly wrong. I've just met her, and we are still trying to work things out regarding her and her daughters safety from themselves. Don't have a family. Don't have kids. Don't create life because, as they say in this film, life will be very treacherous and circumstances will soon make you find yourself alone in situations which neither you, your friends or ANY government authority can handle. Why would you want to inflict the very pain of existence upon your own child, should you have one? Why would you want to create a family just to have something to do, to have someone to be accountable to, to create meaning of your own life. Creating life is a selfish act which has, will and do murder us all. It's not that you shouldn't be happy, go ahead be happy, have sex and lots of it and have fun. But be careful, because you are literally giving the child you will have all the horror it will experience. And prolonging the human race is not necessarily a reward in itself, because you haven't even figured out why YOU are in the first place, you haven't even figured out why existence IS in the first place, and all the nightmares it can provide your family with, should you have one. On the surface this is a horror story about a child's book. Great acting, scripting, direction, everything. And very creepy as well, without any jump scares. But at the end of the day, this is a warning. You shouldn't play god, no matter how safe you think you play. Because in 999999 times out of a million , this will happen. Parents projecting and passing on their own demons onto their children. Your children. I don't even have to promise you, just look around.
