Mother!

 Length: 121 minutes Genres: horror ~ drama

Summary: A young woman spends her days renovating the Victorian mansion that she lives in with her husband in the countryside. When a stranger knocks on the door one night, he becomes an unexpected guest in their home. Later, his wife and two children also arrive to make themselves welcome. Terror soon strikes when the beleaguered wife tries to figure out why her husband is so seemingly friendly and accommodating to everyone but her.

Plot Twist? 

We soon get a bit more exposition in the form of a flashback, where we see the Malum cult inducting a baby into the cult. As it turns out, that baby is – wait for it! – Jessica, and we learn her mum Diane was a member of the flock, before their dad saved them. Many moons later, John Malum – who, we’re told, hadn’t aged a day – caught up with them: sparking, presumably, the chain of events culminating in the movie’s cold open sequence.

Ending: 

Even when presented with a savior and total innocence, mankind only kills as they mindlessly eat the flesh of the messiah. The mother, who is unhappy with the poet’s creation and inability to control his creation, attempts to bring peace back into the chaos, only to be assaulted and beaten. In retaliation, she sets fire to the house, bringing herself and humanity to an end.

Notes - Thoughts

It is a bizarre nightmare-fueled fever dream with a confounding ending that leaves us speechless as we reevaluate the way we interact and treat Mother Nature. While there is no distinctive ending to the film, there is something we can take away from the film’s magical realism and very explicit message.

Rating: Loved

Quite a distburing movie, with how deep of message portraying and some scenes just get super dark! Specifally one with baby being passed around...I almost threw up!! Great horror film and makes you really think on lot of things on deeper level.
