The filmmakers do an effective job at making a clever horror show out of postpartum depression. So it’s a shame the movie goes off the deep end in the final act, as the story literally comes to a bloody, tragic finish.

By sticking closely to a heroine who's skating on the edge of sanity, the film keeps the audience properly disoriented. Darkness runs deep in "The Lullaby," rooted in the never-ending conflict between mothers and daughters.

The director does an excellent job of setting a properly ominous mood, effectively delivering a procession of jump scares that succeed in keeping viewers on edge. Unfortunately, the screenplay by Tarryn-Tanille Prinsloo proves less effective, failing to deepen the characterizations or situations in sufficiently interesting fashion.

Director Darrell Roodt does nothing to build suspense and little to build empathy for the character.

I really liked it. The cinematography and performances were very good. The Lullaby had a strange storyline with flashbacks, that added to the lead's paranoia. All in all it was a strange yet interesting film. If you are looking for big jump scares, then this is not for you, because the jump scares are there, but it is not the main focus. If you are looking for a mentally disturbing film that steadily progresses, then you would like this film as I do.
