Watchable thriller, though very generic and predictable...

Well, I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2015 thriller "Don't Wake Mommy" (aka "Dark Intentions") here in 2021. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I did sit down to watch it.

And I have to admit that the fact that the movie had Sara Rue, Ashley Bell, Denise Crosby and Harry Van Gorkum on the cast list definitely helped to win me over. Just a shame though, that Denise Crosby and Harry Van Gorkum had so very little on-screen time in the movie.

It was nice to see Sara Rue in a movie such as "Don't Wake Mommy", and she really performed quite well in the movie, with her portrayal as Beth - a deranged woman. She really made the movie well-worth sitting through, together with the performance of Ashley Bell.

Sure, the storyline told in "Don't Wake Mommy" was as predictable as they come, but there still was something about it that just worked. It was perhaps a combination of an adequate storyline, albeit generic and predictable one, mixed with some interesting characters and some good acting performances.

While "Don't Wake Mommy" was watchable, writer and director Chris Sivertson hardly managed to deliver a movie that can sustain more than just a single viewing. Yeah, there just isn't enough contents to the storyline to make it a movie you'd watch more than once.

I did, however, actually enjoy this movie and it turned out better than I had anticipated it would. Hence, I am rating "Don't Wake Mommy" a six out of ten stars.

It's wild and wacky to the core.

We're led to believe that a woman got pregnant from a doctor, the doctor she worked for as a nurse and that he wanted nothing to do with her and the baby.

She then proceeds to me a new mother on the internet who has just given birth and is suffering from post-having a baby depression. What she does to this woman, besides killing her friend, who finds out about her, is enough to drive anyone up the wall.

Wait until you meet the girl's mother. The girl, if possible, seems normal compared to the mother, who is totally off the deep end. No wonder the daughter, who took the little boy she claims that is hers, is quite a nut job.

Notice the film takes the Lifetime trend of someone coming into your life and posing as someone else or just normal and in the meantime, they absolutely reek havoc on all concerned.

The problem with this film is just that's it's so off the wall with unbelievable sequences, you can get lost in all this. In fact, it's better if you do.

The worst

Hey lifetime hire someone with lady parts to write your scripts. a monkey could have written a more insightful story about a barnacle. Besides be incredibly slow, the underlying misogyny oozing from every pore of this film was distressing. How could a channel meant for women make a film that was offensively ignorant of what being a mother, wife, woman, human, living creature be? I have never seen anything so insanely 2-dimensional and lacking in insight or even entertainment value. I felt very badly for the actresses who had to try to give life to this absolutely inane script. I hope lifetime learns a lesson from this - the lesson is simple. Women are people too.
