Unfortunately for Andi Matichak, that notion seems neither humorous nor hyperbolic in \u201cSon,\u201d wherein the star of David Gordon Green\u2019s \u201cHalloween\u201d reboot has a more \u201cRosemary\u2019s Baby\u201d-ish problem on her hands.<\/p>\n<p>This latest, Heartland-set feature from Irish writer-director Ivan Kavanagh (\u201cNever Grow Old\u201d) echoes his prior horror exercise, 2014\u2019s \u201cThe Canal,\u201d in that it similarly means to keep us uncertain whether our protagonist is bedeviled by supernatural peril or delusional psychosis. But that line isn\u2019t trod quite so nimbly this time, and the film suffers somewhat from striking an oddly earnest tone (despite some gory bits) without necessarily being very convincing, when it might better have gone for straight nerve-jangling suspense. It\u2019s an intriguing, watchable but mixed bag that RLJE Films is releasing March 5 to available theaters, on demand and digital.<\/p>\n<p>After a prologue in which a pregnant young woman fleeing pursuers ends up giving birth alone in a car, we meet Laura (Matichak) some years later. She\u2019s a kindergarten teacher living quietly in a small town with 8-year-old son David (Luke David Blumm). One night she hears noises, and is horrified to see an entire group of people gathered ominously around his bed. By the time she\u2019s run for help, however, they are gone, and the child (who doesn\u2019t remember anything) is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently unharmed. Local cops Steve (Cranston Johnson) and Paul (Emile Hirsch) are skeptical and sympathetic, respectively: There was no sign of forced entry, no strange fingerprints were found, and later they realize the young mother has been living under an assumed name, having survived a horrific past.<\/p>\n<p>But Paul makes himself available to her when she fears further prowlers, then when David abruptly grows very ill. It is Paul she confides to in revealing that she\u2019d escaped a cult, and fears it\u2019s coming back to reclaim her and her son. Meanwhile, doctors are baffled by the boy\u2019s seizures and severe gastrointestinal bleeding, whose cause they\u2019re unable to determine. Yet just when that mystery condition seems terminal, he recovers \u2014 at least for a while.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is just the beginning of Laura\u2019s new woes, as she comes to believe \u201ceverybody is in on it\u201d (including hospital staff), fleeing apparent pursuers once again. Mother and son drive to some of the bleaker corners of Kansas, Mississippi and elsewhere, alternately hiding and seeking out old friends, including ones played by Blaine Maye and Kristine Nielsen. Meanwhile, David\u2019s illness generates some rather monstrous needs, and the two local cops shadowing them cross-country follow a trail of blood.<\/p>\n<p>There are thematic elements here that might recall \u201cThe Omen\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Alive,\u201d among other terror-is-a-child opuses. Kavanagh\u2019s script has a distinctive-enough narrative course to avoid seeming overly indebted to such predecessors. But despite a fair degree of visual atmosphere in location choices, Piers McGrail\u2019s cinematography and the increasingly decrepit interiors of John Leslie\u2019s production design, \u201cSon\u201d never quite binds its tricky, episodic story into a persuasive or gripping whole.<\/p>\n<p>Matichak gives a strong performance, as does juvenile Blumm. Yet in placing a mother\u2019s love as the central drive here, the film puts too little emphasis on the question of whether there was ever a \u201ccult\u201d at all \u2014 or if Laura is instead the permanently traumatized survivor of very different abuse she\u2019s memory-repressed all these years. Key as it is, that issue ought to generate more tension throughout than it does. Another problem is that as written and\/or played, Hirsch\u2019s role seems rather thankless, undercutting the impact of its ultimate importance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSon\u201d is twisty, violent, well-crafted and cast enough to easily hold viewer attention. At the same time, a story this baroque, involving a child possibly \u201cfathered\u201d by a literal demon, ought to make a stronger overall impression than Kavanagh\u2019s poker-faced yet uneven treatment manages. He\u2019s made a horror movie that isn\u2019t terribly scary because it plays more like a drama, and isn\u2019t terribly powerful as a drama because the central conflicts aren\u2019t fully convincing \u2014 while the doubt that ought to heighten their complexity is inexpertly woven into the storytelling. \u201cSon\u201d is a cut above genre average, but it frustrates in that its skillful and serious-minded aspects do not finally lift it any higher than that moderate level of success.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
