Any movie featuring the highly talented and much admired cheesy thespian Bree Williamson is usually a guarantee of 'Box Office Gold' and this deeply disturbing and deadly drama merely cements her position as a thespian of great esteem.
She plays the part of a deeply deranged mother who tragically loses one of her sons after banging his bonce in their swimming pool. Thereafter, she murders her well-meaning neighbour (played with great gusto by Brigitte Robinson) and other much murderous mayhem ensues as it becomes apparent that she isn't 'the full shilling'.
I won't regurgitate the plot, as other less discerning reviewers have done so, so as not to spoil your viewing pleasure of what is a ceulloid masterpiece but needless to say, the gripping storyline keeps the movie-going public transfixed and entertained until the final credits roll.
Besides Ms Williamson, all the actors perform at the top of their game but especial mention should be made of Auden Larratt who didn't really have the time on screen to showcase his undoubted talents before bouncing his bonce on the bottom of his swimming pool. He has a fine future on the silver screen judging by his performance in this epic.
Peter DaCunha is a revelation as Eric.... He must surely be destined for greatness.
Overall, this magnificent movie should act as a warning to young children the world over to avoid diving headfirst into the shallow ends of swimming pools and for kindly, well-meaning neighbours to beware of seriously un-hinged neighbours who have cheesy sounding Christian names and wield heavy frying pans.
Hopefully a much anticipated sequel is in the offing and a suitable title for it could be 'Mommy's Little Boy' Part 2.
A roller-coaster of a ride!
