I do always enjoy horror movies that are a little more psychological in nature, in this case connecting this woman's unexpressed anger to literal monster creature babies that go around acting on her rage instincts. That's a really appealing concept to me. I had a good time watching it. It felt like a really enjoyable cheesy B-horror movie from like the 1950s, except then it got real gross at the end. It had that sort of simplistic acting and dialogue that just got right to what we were supposed to get out of it, which isn't what I always like, but it was a fun ride for me.
