First, seems like the IMDB casting info is messed up.. not sure what's going on there, but moving on. This movie was put together well technically, and filmed good - which is its strength. Little far out there on the psyche thriller side, which brings it down a touch. Nice '69/'70 Chevy in the film.. Not especially plausible as a work truck, but nice. The "baby crying" issue I believe was meant to bring in that feeling of claustrophobic post partum depression support, which was effective- even if it makes your ears bleed after a while. It's a real thing, and it can break people. The music is effectively unsettling at intense moments, but on screen, I was left wanting more. The intensity of the music overshadowed on screen thrills quite a bit. I found the acting and most of the script adequate. Definitely some weak exceptions, like the "An incident happened here.. oh, we don't want to know" face-palming moment. I found it to be a worthwhile watch, mainly because it doesn't feel as low budget as it probably was. Also because there was no obnoxious current day social commentary/politics/agenda mixed in.
