Corvidae
When her boyfriend Ben suddenly dies in an accident, mother-to-be Charlotte collapses upon receiving the news. She wakes up in Ben’s family home, a crumbling old manor house in the middle of nowhere with Ben’s overbearing mother, Margaret, and his controlling stepbrother, Thomas. They are determined to care for her, at least until the baby arrives. Griefstricken and increasingly haunted by visions possibly brought on by the pregnancy, Charlotte accepts their help. But as the days go by she begins to doubt their intentions and her suspicions grow. Are they drugging her and keeping her captive, with the aim of taking her unborn baby? As her visions intensify and the haze of lies grows, Charlotte decides that her only option is to break free from this family once and for all – but at what cost?

My quick rating - 4,3/10. The movie was made well as far as the production value goes. But all we ended up getting was an extremely slow movie that tried to incorporate some of the ideas from "Rosemarys Baby" and what seemed to be a bit of a nod to "Get Out." Tamara Lawrance does a fine job in the lead here but the movie just drags on to a very lackluster conclusion. After her character collapses upon hearing of her boyfriends death in an accident, she awakes at the guys family manor being taken care of by the crazy step mother. But she begins to suspect their are more sinister reasons behind her being captive. Sounds better than it was.
