SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

jule64 I like to check IMDb ratings to gauge the potential of a movie before watching, however I'm glad I did not follow this rule for Breaking at the Edge as I would have missed a good movie (it was actually one of the reviews here that convinced me to give it a go)."The Firstling" (as it's called on my streaming service) scores points for the suspense, good scary scenes, good dialogues and a storyline that holds well enough.But to me the biggest selling point of the movie is the performance of Rebecca Da Costa as the beautiful and intelligent young wife. She brings a spark and depth to her character that is unexpected and really pulls the movie up.

gavin6942 A pregnant woman (Rebecca DaCosta) fears for her unborn child's life if she does not avenge a supernatural entity.So, seriously, how did they get Andie McDowell? Does she owe a bookie some money or get behind on her mortgage? Because she is above this sort of thing... or at least she should be."When I was shooting it, it was very intense," Da Costa said in February 2014. "I was literally getting crazy." She said that preparing for the role she "talked to many psychiatrists. I didn't want to look like I was trying to play crazy." Um, well, your acting comes across as pretty poor. So if you were going crazy, it does not show and if you were playing crazy, it shows even less.The music sounds like the theme to "The Snowman" (1982). Thank you for stealing it. The camera shakes for no reason, even when filming a scene of people sitting still and talking. Why? Was there an artistic reason for this? Of course not.Clearly the script was pretty good, because the whole idea of seeing through other eyes is great if pulled off right. This film is not pulled off right. Which is obvious when commenters think it has some connection to "Rosemary's Baby". Huh?

heathenflower I didn't expect to like this movie based on the trailer but I didn't expect to dislike it as much as I did. The two stars I gave this movie are only because Milo Vintimiglia is easy on the eyes and a good actor, but even having him to watch did not save this movie for me. The acting and directing are tolerable, but the plot and story line were completely ridiculous to me. Nothing is what it seems in this movie, which I guess is a common theme in horror flicks but I found "the truth" to be completely unbelievable and it ruined the entire film for me. They want you to believe the pregnant woman is crazy up until the end, but spoiler...you find out she's not actually the crazy one. That's their 'clever' plot twist, everything she sees is actually real. This movie was asking me to suspend too much disbelief for me to enjoy. I hope to never be subjected to this film again.

Kerem Gogus It was a solid movie. Unlike the other reviewer friend, I liked the direction too. It wasn't the best thing in the world but actors were convincing and it was an enjoyable and mysterious story.Rebecca De Costa did a good job on her character and she was able to pull you into the story with her emotional ups and downs.It wasn't a visually rich movie though which is something I look on horror movies. I usually expect very well shot scenes giving the taste of the atmosphere with good photography but this movie was lack of it a bit. I enjoyed the rich and finely composed visual scenes with great photography on movies like Sadako and Woman In Black a lot for example but Breaking at the Edge was a bit dull when it comes to this. Music was very well and was going well with the story and scenes and was able to reflect the emotions, sounds effects wasn't overdone overall except in a few scenes which there was some unnecessary noises, and it wasn't scary but annoying. Other than music, voices and effects were fine. I have a tendency to like & support female lead movies. But I also try to keep my reviews unbiased as I can. So I recommend you to give a chance to this movie. Maybe you will not going to love it but also you will not dislike it or hate it. Worth to watch...
