Very Cool!!!

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

If I wasn't such a fan of The Bad Seed I probably wouldn't have cared much for this movie or even never heard of it. Patty McCormack was awesome as the devilish Rhoda Penmark in the 1956 movie so I was curious what she would be like as mother in this unofficial sequel. Yes if we ignore the very last scene of the original Bad Seed movie, "Mommy" is believable as a sequel in which Rhoda has grown up into a mother with a daughter named Jessica Ann. It's nice to see how this movie refers to The Bad Seed in several ways. Mommy (she is never called by name) can't accept if her daughter doesn't win in a contest much like she little Rhoda couldn't deal with defeat. The penmanship medal from the Bad Seed is here replaced by a golden plaque. And yes mommy much like Rhoda eliminates anyone who is an obstacle in her (and her daughter's) way to fortune. That she probably killed her two previous husbands for their money is exactly how you expect Rhoda would have become as adult. The story is told mostly from the point of view of Jessica Ann telling us her feelings about her mother. She fears her yet loves her much like Christine in the Bad Seed felt towards her daughter. That Jessica Ann is a real sweet kid makes sense since this bad seed always skips a generation. Really enjoyable movie except for the ending that was a bit over the top.

Oh my goodness. I bought this film as a part of a 10 horror movies for $10 deal. I can now see why this one was included in the deal. Nobody would pay more than a dollar for this would they? Well some people obviously would else the votes would be on 1 not 5. The little girl was a good actress but the "Mommy"? Wooden. It was so lame. There was not much tension at all until the very end when she tried to kill her daughter. That was about the only time I cared what was going to happen. The story was OK but the whole film could have been so much better. What was with that janitor lady? We almost turned it off but as "Mommy 2" came with the movie pack we carried on watching so that we would not get lost in what will be a very complex plot in "Mommy 2". Avoid this film, it's not worth your time.

I first saw the cover of mommy on a horror ten pack DVD only for 10 dollars. I thought it was some cheap rip off of Friday The 13th. When I turned it on it seemed hilarious at the start when she killed her daughters teacher by snapping her neck. Through out the movie mommy kills and eliminates anyone who gets in her daughters way. The acting is superb and is filmed nicely. The daughter notice's what her mother is doing isn't normal and tries to escape mommy's evil lair of murders. A good movie with an unexpected twist. My review is ** 6.3/10 Acting ** 7.8/10 Story ** 5.9/10 Gore ** Overall 6.2/10. The Acting is hilarious with a good result in the end. The story line is original and excellent. There isn't much gore although the death scenes are excellent for a low budget film.

This movie had the whole Alfred Hitchcock feel to it! Usually I prefer the extremely gory, offensive horror movies. The reason I bought this movie was because I am a huge fan of Brinke Stevens. I actually ended up liking this. Also, brinke did a good job as the goody-goody Aunt Beth. Although, it was weird seeing brinke playing a goody-goody role. It was quite a change of pace for her. Also, they had alot of foreshadowing in this film which I liked. I also liked the way they shot it. It was shot on video, but still a bit of professionalism that you don't see in a lot of shot on video movies these days. All in all, I give it a 8. It's suspenseful and atmospheric. Quite enjoyable.
