MOTHERS OF MONSTERS (2020)","description":"\nWhat do you do when you live with an unstable person?\u00a0 And what if he is your child?\u00a0 You are responsible for him so it\u2019s not like you can remove the person from your life.\u00a0 The latest horror/thriller M.O.M.:\u00a0 Mothers of Monsters (2020) is a found footage movie that takes a look at this experience.\u00a0 It also looks deeply into not just the child but also the parent and even grandparent.\n\n\n\nAbbey Bell (Melinda Page Hamilton) is a divorced mother living with her teenage son Jacob (Bailey Edwards).\u00a0 Unfortunately Jacob seems to be more than just a thorn in Abbey\u2019s life.\u00a0 He destroys her property and has violent fits.\u00a0 But her struggles aren\u2019t known by others since Jacob is a good student and is spoiled by his grandmother.\u00a0 As their relationship continues to spiral out of control, we find that the Bell family may have more secrets than a child delinquency issue.\n\n\n\nIn her first full length feature, director/screenwriter Tucia Lyman brings to life a common theme in many families:\u00a0 communication issues that may go beyond personality disorders.\u00a0 After an in-depth discussion, the director joins your co-hosts and answers further questions about the movie and its relevance today.\n\n\n\nAlso of interest, check out our review of the 2011 film, We Need to Talk About Kevin. \n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/b972a8ee-7e2d-415b-82de-c8fa9b53c5e2/mast-episode457.jpg"}
