dhainline1 Like everyone else in America and Europe, I know about the tragic Andrea Yates case and how horrible post traumatic psychosis can be from reading about this loving mother who suddenly turned on the people she loved more than anything else in the world: her children. Mrs. Williams aka Mom in "Baby Blues" is the mother of 3 sons, James, Jr. "Jimmy" who is 10, 7-year-old Sammy, and infant Nathan. Cathy, the lone girl is 4 or 5 years old. The Williams family of James, Sr. "Dad", Mom and the 4 children have a normal, everyday life on the farm. Dad is a long haul trucker who leaves his namesake Jimmy in charge of the family when he goes out on business. The children seem to have happy lives, but one day all that changes. Mom starts to hear voices from the family's scarecrow and then everything literally goes to hell on this family as Mom sees her children as bad seeds who must be destroyed. Jimmy is just a little 10-year-old boy who loves his mother, but when she turns on him and kills his siblings, he has to protect himself from her rampage. In the end, Jimmy survives and so does his mother. Dad tells him that the mother was sick and she had post par tum depression that turned her against her children. This is a very good movie about something very few people want to talk about but exists: Post par tum psychosis. The actors are very good, especially Ridge Calipe as the confused, protective Jimmy and Angelina Jolie-lookalike Colleen Porch as the loving mother turned psycho. None of the actors hit a false note in this scary movie!

trashgang I never noticed this flick not even by it's other name Baby Blues but a friend in the UK told me that it was worth watching. Well, in fact it was. So called based on true events this flick surely isn't for the weak at heart. Not that it is gory or that bloody but it concerns children. In the seventies it was common to shoot children or give them a good beating in films. Today's standards don't allow that kind of cinema anymore. But still some directors aren't afraid to show a child being slaughtered. Lars Jacobson, the director did a good job, this being his first effort. The way he used some shots were nicely done. It all involves a woman who has to take care of her children. Her husband is always on the road so she has to do it in fact on her own, but she can't take it. Slowly she turns into hatred towards her offspring. One evening at dinner she goes bonkers and things go heavenly wrong. What a great performance from Colleen Porch (Transformers, Starship Troopers 2) but also from the young ones. A flick overlooks from the geeks but worth a look.

Claudio Carvalho The smart ten year-old Jimmy (Ridge Canipe) lives in an isolated farm with his mother (Coleen Porch) and his three younger siblings. His father (Joel Bryant) is a truck driver that spends most of the time on the road leaving the family under the care of his wife. When he travels during the night to deliver some cargo in a nearby town, his stressed wife finds a match box of a stripper-club in one of his pockets and this finding triggers a psychotic breakdown on her. She kills the baby boy and tries to drown her daughter Cathy (Cali Majors) but Jimmy saves his sister. Then she stabs her son Sammy (Holden Thomas Maynard) and chases Jimmy and Cathy through the cornfields in a dreadful night of terror. "Baby Blues" is a tense and scary movie that tells the story of a mother that has a psychotic breakdown and kills her defenseless children during the night. The story is very simple and only the conclusion is disappointing, with dad accepting mom back home only to give a hook for a sequel. The cast is sensational, highlighting Coleen Porch and the boy Ridge Canipe in a very difficult role for a child. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Herança Maldita" ("Damned Heritage")

nirothegreat and this friendly suggestion is good for you too, all who love good movies including thrillers, because this is NOT, by all means, a thriller nor a "good movie". It was intentionally made in order to frighten the s***t out of you! Also there is no plot, no characters, it's shallow and based on creepy twisted minds of the writer and directors. Nothing is there which could be based on true events, despite the fact that occasionally there are women who murder their off-springs.Ridge Canipe - Jimmy - acts quite well but all the others are just disasters. Well, there's not really a plot to act with. The little girl acting is so bad that I wonder if all talented little girls mothers gave up Hollywood's dream.***BEWARE - SPOILERS AHEAD***Next are some BS points containing ***SPOILERS***;1.In a country's quite night every noise is heard clearly and loudly. No way an intensely horn blowing wouldn't get intention/reaction. And the old man's hearing was perfect and the music's volume was low. 2. Combine chase - same as no.1 (living in the country I know what I'm talking about).3. No way the special sound of the radio-transmitter wouldn't caught the attention of the driver, no matter how loud is the music. (same as with cell-phones).4. A mass-murderer, is always considered as psychotic (if not a psychopath) and being "a danger to society", therefore is kept locked away in an asylum/jail for a long time and should take drugs for the rest of hie/hers life. The same goes for crazy mothers who murder not "only" their children but their neighbors and dog's neighbors as well. Being psychotic means that the episode might return under pressure.5. American authorities are strict and severe in all issues concerning child-care. No way a parent, under such horrific circumstances, would be aloud to take his psychologically and physically wounded child back home under the care of his crazy mother.There is much more crap in this pile but I have my life and many good movies are waiting there for me.
