He could be just a weird impulsive kid - or maybe she has raised an evil, psychopathic monster. In amongst the more recent surveillance videos Abbey is doing of her son Jacob (Bailey Edwards), we are witness to family films that show Jacob as a troubled little boy who hurts animals and other children, seemingly without remorse. Like one of my favorite films, We Need to Talk about Kevin, we meet a mother who has spent their cold, untouchable child’s whole life trying to figure them out without success. Synopsis: A mother suspects her son of being a psychopath and, to prevent him from committing a terrible atrocity, takes matters into her own hands.Ībbey (Melinda Page Hamilton) is a divorced mom, trying to make it on her own while raising her teenaged son. Where did my happy little girl go? Luckily, as everyone assured me, she finally mellowed out, and a funny sweet woman emerged.īut it was a scary time for me while the hormones were raging, and I often questioned, “Where did I go wrong?” This is where M.O.M.(Mothers of Monsters) begins. When my daughter turned 16, I wasn’t sure who this new, cranky, snotty kid was.
Most parents go through a period time with their teens when they question, “What kind of kid did I raise?” I did.
Nurture is scrutinized in this tense and disturbing psychological thriller/found footage film from writer/director Tucia Lyman.Ī fascinating new variant of the found-footage genre, “M.O.M (Mothers of Monsters)” takes a slow-burn look at one mother’s paranoia about her son’s behavior and her debilitating fear that he has the potential to become a serial killer.
