The Womb is a horror-thriller that also has some slow-burn drama. It's surprisingly relatable, and the story is not just pure evil, as one might first think. The first reaction of the young woman is to get angry, but she turns to Facebook and finds a support group. It's through this Facebook group that she finds a mysterious older couple who are looking to adopt. The couple is sweet and kind, and they never pressure her into making a decision.
While pregnant women and horror have long been a strong match, The Womb is more of a classic horror movie that delves into the occult. The story in this movie is good, and it will probably leave viewers wondering what they would do if they found themselves in a similar situation. The movie has a strong emotional core, and it's not just about jump scares and crazy CGI effects.
Overall, The Womb is a solid horror movie that's worth watching. However, it could have benefited from being condensed a bit, as the almost two-hour run time felt drawn out. Additionally, the pacing was a tad too slow, and the special effects weren't the best. Nevertheless, the acting was decent across the board, with two high-intensity, high-emotion scenes from the son towards the end. If you're a fan of foreign folk horror, The Womb is a must-watch and gets a 6/10 rating. For most viewers, it would land around a 5/10 rating, but it's still worth recommending.
