I didn't notice a lot of the bad effects people complained about, because I kept skipping forward through the first 14 minutes of the film which are dedicated to a baby crying. 14 full minutes. There's a break after that, but plenty more baby crying to come, with parrot squawks to complement.
I know horror films always lean on the jump scare crutch but there's some really goofy moments - like for some reason the baby monitor makes a sound when there is silent movement!?
The 2D mother character is cringy. The 'honest reaction' scene will remind you of any dishonest woman you've worked with more than anyone you would date, so it seems forced
Overall they did try with the plot here, more than most modern films, but it remains unwatchable due to the constant baby crying (another crutch in 2022 films, weirdly). It adds nothing to the film.
