The Monitor (2011)

AKA: Babycall

Starring: Naomi Rapace, Kristoffer Joner
Director: Pål Sletaune


Premise:
An over protective and emotionally fragile mother starts to hear sounds of abuse through a newly bough baby monitor which causes her to become paranoid about her recent past.

My Take:
A stylish film is bogged down a tad by the an average story. It's fairly simple to figure out what is going on and what the outcome will be. The positives are plenty however and witnessing a powerhouse performace by Rapace as she breaks down emotionally as time ticks away is worth the viewing alone.

Rating: In the middle
