Beth (Sarah Navratil), Jack (Kevin Patrick Murphy) and their young daughter Meg (Maple Suttles) are a loving but struggling family who have recently relocated to a deceased family member’s home due to Beth’s past drug addiction which has left deep emotional and financial strains on her marriage and cost her a beloved teaching job. After Meg suffers a traumatic accident and develops extreme separation anxiety to her mom, Beth and Jack grow even more estranged. One thing they do agree upon though is that Meg needs more help than her school counselor Ash (Drez Ryan) can provide. As Meg’s behavior becomes more erratic and her attachment to her stuffed bear Ricky and her mom grows, Beth begins to suspect that something more sinister is happening within her family. When Jack and their family friend Marisa (Dee Wallace) begin to exhibit signs of attachment to Meg and also to one another, Beth’s concerns become increasingly paranoid. Beth is haunted by nightmarish visions of parasitic creatures that threaten to engulf her family and her sanity. Beth is soon thrust into a world of emotional dependency and horror as the people she loves and trusts most push her into a chasm of drug addiction, self-destruction, and maternal sacrifice.

omg this was actually really creepy!
REALLY?….The trailer looked kind of cheesy and cheap. would you recommend? score 1-10?
Yeah, the ending was kinda creepy, and well done! the movie starts off slow, but it definitely gets better! For the genre (creature horror) I’d say this is a very decent movie. I’d give it a solid 7
I agree - the trailer made me turn it away. guess i’ll give it a go…
Didn’t like it especially the ending. Didn’t understand it.
It’s basically “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” with bugs instead of alien plants. Even the ending - having the bugs take over the whole family and start expanding the colony by sewing more eggs or whatever into the stuffed animals was the same as the Body Snatcher pod people growing more pods and trucking them out of San Fran (in the 70s edition of the movie) across the US.
EXACTLY!…I gave it a shot due to some viewers recommendations, but it was not creepy nor any good. the ending was just pure crap!…2/10
was like watching a piece of cardboard for 100 mins.
Is this any good? I couldn’t get pass the first 10 minutes, does it get better?
Don’t know yet, I’m having trouble getting past the alternate title, The Bewailing. That sounds like a deliberately silly subtitle to a Rick & Morty episode. “Morty vs. the Council of Ricks: The Bewailing” :)
🤣🤣🤣
So I’d say it’s okay but not great. Like I told a guy up top it’s a lot like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The ending would have been creepier if it were less predictable.
My big complaint though - in Body Snatchers the pods get you when you fall asleep and can’t fight back. I can’t figure out why no one seems to be able or willing to simply step on these stupid bugs. They never seem to attack like the DVD cover suggests - in an overwhelming horde. The kid’s mother could have squished the bug that took her over twice, like an annoying cockroach. But she screamed at it instead. I hate that kind of forced plot device stuff where people act even dumber than they normally would. :P
