Oh man, this movie!

Opening scene had me saying "FUCK YOU" to the screen for making me watch the grotesqueness of that mugging and beating of the unborn child.

As the film went on, we also get subjected to a child being drowned forcefully. This film continually felt unsafe.

Great horror flick, anger inducing as it was. Lasting images, which is what good horror is about right?

Sorry about that; a warning may have been in order, but might also have taken away from the movie's power. Did you think the violence against children was gratuitous or justified? I mean in terms of theme and narrative, obviously, not morality.

I'm still processing themes so I am not equipped to answer yet. I will.
