My Review
I have watched this 3 times. Each time forgetting why they "forgot". The movie is a direct hit on maternal instinct.
You know that thing that keeps infants alive and thriving but all but does the female parent in. Maternal Instinct...ahh...what can one say. I would not forget my child if I had one. I would fight every bit as hard to keep my child a part of me, even if it is in thought.
This movie is great because it has a wonderful cast, a constant moving and evolving plot and adorable children and a psycho for good measure. This will be a movie you will purchase, that is how often you will want to watch it.
