Baby Blues (2008)

[claws]

Postpartum depression can be a killer. Mom is mentally suffering and her four kids are being an annoyance. Bad situation.

Not so thrilling execution. The delicate subject matter is wrapped in a choppy slice-n-dice slasher pretending to go deeper than it actually does. Indie shocker without the shocks but we get quarts of squirting saliva and blood. The acting was passable, especially "Mom" who has her shining moment in front of a mirror. Stand up comedian Joel Bryant as "Dad" wasn't bad either. The kids did suck as movie kids usually do. Other than that this film had bad soundtrack issues as well. They missed the boat on placing proper score cues on thrilling moments.

Overrated in my opinion.

I have to agree with what you and others have said about this movie, it pretty much just IS a crappy slasher flick using postpartum as window dressing for the excuse to tell a shocking story.  Maybe it's because I've actually read up on some cases and background research on incidents of mom's killing their kids and I know that the details and psychology in this film are just so wrong it's ridiculous. Yes, moms do sometimes do horrible things like this, but it seems less like this women just "snapped" and more like she was always nuts to begin with and just need an excuse to fly off the handle.

And I really thought the ending sucked.

I rented this one a while back from Netflix.  Gotta say that I was not that impressed with it.  The story is what first intrigued me, but the execution of it was awful.  This is a fantastic film to be made here and the creators really didn't make the best of it.  Would love to see someone else tackle this idea and really bring on a film that works.
