First Born (DVD, 2007)

bought it because i like suspense, action , horror and it had some well known actors in it , thought it would be good , should have left my memories to the actors other works , i could not follow this movie at all , forced myself to sit through an hour - then turned off , just not even interesting , boring , most likely will retire on my shelf , unless someone borrows it , in that case , its one i will never miss , when they forget to return it !

I have always enjoyed movies that are within the realm of reality.
"First Born" takes you to the next level with its deliberate and skillful ability to "twist the staircase" as you ascend, so to speak.
Rich with suggestive material and stellar performances, which, naturally, sets your mind in motion.
One of those movies that you wish wouldn't end, and, although many scenes appear repetitious (done out of necessity), they pull it off exceptionally well!

I was really impressed with Elizabeth Shue's performance. I didn't have any pre-conceived notions before watching this movie. To be honest i was impressed with the play out of the plot and the story line. If you like a good thriller that keeps you on your seat, go Rent this movie.

The paternal instinct of a mother is one that is portrayed in a lot of movies, but I fill that Shue nailed it! The loss one fills after having a child and the depression that happens was portrayed perfectly. The movie felt real and that is what i look for in a good thriller!

This movie was slow-paced and boring. Several attempts at plot twists that never go anywhere (who the heck was Jenny anyway?).
All leading up to a very predictable ending.
The main character was very unsympathetic,we've all had our trials and tribulations as a mother,but someone should have gotten her some help.All in all very sad.
This one shouldn't have been classified with the horror when it's more of a drama,die-hard horror fans will be very disappointed with it.

The actors did perform well but the storyline was horrible.
I watched intensely thru the whole movie just waiting to see what was going to happen and then the credits started rolling. What? Huh? OMG!
There was not even a commentary on the movie to help someone figure it out.
Demon possession, witchcraft curse, or just plain 'ole nuts.....who knows.
For the previous reviews: if you are pregnant definately one to watch... Ha! Don't waste your time.
As stated the actors did perform well, but the script is poorly written, directed. I don't recommend this movie at all.
