Trying to lighten up the serious tone in a horror film didn’t work at all. The chemistry throughout the film between the two simulates a realistic, couple with rollercoaster emotions.Īs this movie had pros, it also had some flaws. The point of a thriller/drama is to be intense and serious, but this movie has a few scenes with humor. “When The Bough Breaks” is about a married couple who hires a surrogate mother (Jaz Sinclair) who develops a dangerous obsession with John the husband, a plot with no authenticity because many movies have portrayed the mentally unstable obsessed female. This movie does a great job with developing character, though, especially the relationship between the husband and wife played by the two leads, Chestnut and Hall. “When The Bough Breaks” casts lead Morris Chestnut, who starred in the classic “Boyz n the Hood” and is currently on the show “Rosewood,”and actor Regina Hall from the Scary Movie as the leading roles. So we went to see another thriller in the horror genre, “When the Bough Breaks.” Honestly, it wasn’t half bad.Īt Regal Manchester Cinemas, I paid $23 dollars for two tickets to see the movie, which is not bad pricing.

The truth is I’d have rather gone to see “Don’t Breathe,” which is actually getting good reviews from the critics. But sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut and please your date, as all of us males know.
