Baby Blues

About This Movie

So, 'Baby Blues' from 2008 is a pretty unsettling dive into the darker side of motherhood. It’s set on this isolated family farm, which really amps up the tension. The mother's descent into madness due to postpartum depression is chilling, and you can feel the weight of that atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, creeping up on you as the eldest son tries to protect his younger sibling. What struck me were the practical effects—there’s something raw about them that CGI just doesn’t capture. The performances, especially from the lead, pull you right into that turmoil. It's not your typical horror; it’s more about the psychological unraveling and the themes of family and fear. Definitely leaves an impression.
