7/10
Draws you in. Ending eh

Warning: Spoilers
The acting is great by everyone in the movie. The creepiness and mystery qas setup nicely.

The lead making typical victim errors like speeding when they finally get away instead of simply driving carefully, and not leaving the house earlier like any other black woman would (lol), really took away from the movie.

I agree with others that it had Rosemary's Baby and Get Out vibes. But the movie didn't scream that the writer was trying to recreate or mimic them to me.

Took 2 stars away for the ending. I agree with others in that I wish they would've tied up the mysterious loose endings like: was the boyfriend really dead? We never really saw him. How did they turn her friend Jane against her? Was Jane in on the cover up of the boyfriend's "death"? How is Margaret gonna raise a black baby as her own without any questions being raised, if that was the scheme? Seems a bit off to me. How does a hospital just hand a baby over to a man just cause he says he's the dad, without proof? What history- mentioned by the nurse- does Charlotte have in her past? We know her mom's history but the hospital doesn't know that. And why didn't they reveal Charlotte's history to us?

Uhhhh so many questions
