The music played into this, often overhyping scenes in trying to add suspense that probably wasn’t there to begin with. Getting into the story was very troublesome because the material was so melodramatic, cheesy, and cliche. She overacted in trying to handle the duality of her character with no nuance going from dim and innocent to obsessive and cunning. Sinclair was over the top here with her performance as Anna. Their chemistry made them great to watch. The acting from Chestnut and Hall were okay at playing a believable married couple. She was pretty much all over the place here as we never knew what she wanted. She was just overly attached to John and implied a much darker past but it was hard to ever see her that way as the film failed to establish that side of her character. This was weird to watch for whatever reason as it was difficult to ever see Anna as any significant threat to them. Of course this wouldn’t last forever, obviously, which would lead to a confrontation. The fact that it was a pregnant person responsible for all this was kind of interesting and seeing that the fact that she had the Taylor’s last embryo added a sense of urgency to everything for all sides.She was crazy but there was only so much in which the Taylors could do about it. The plot was not very surprising which made it pretty predictable, checking off each unoriginal plot point off the list. We already know that she’s crazy but the film still gave her a backstory anyway which didn’t really add any more to it. She tries a little too hard here and the dialogue was particularly bad during these moments. Instead of giving up the baby as planned, she would much rather start a new life with John and the baby. John decides to try and take care of it himself and not tell Laura because it wouldn’t be much of a film if he did. This allowed the two of them to become closer but this relationship was more one-sided with Anna becoming obsessed with John and him not reciprocating her many advances. John and Anna spent a considerable amount of time together due to Laura being away for various engagements. The main focus here was the relationship between Anna and the Taylors. This wasn’t exactly clear and could have fleshed out Anna and her intentions a little more but the film did not spend too much time with that. She may or may not love him and/or may or may not be working together to try and scam the Taylors. Anna has some baggage of her own as she has to deal with an abusive boyfriend named Mike (Theo Rossi). This perhaps clouded their judgement slightly once the seemingly perfect Anna comes along, offering to be their surrogate. John and especially Laura desperately want a child are willing to go to great lengths to get one. Due to the plot’s derivative nature, nothing was very surprising (the trailer did that job already) which took a lot of the fun out of it. Things start off alright until they inevitably are not. They cannot conceive a child so they decide to enlist the help of a young woman named Anna (Sinclair). This one is about a couple named John (Chestnut) and Laura (Hall) Taylor. Expectations weren’t exactly the highest going into it and after having watched it, they were rightfully set. If you think you’ve seen this film before, then you’re probably right as the plot heavily borrows from similar films including some recent ones (you can probably think of some). The Taylors now find themselves playing a deadly game with a psychopath who holds the key to their future. Everything seems fine until Anna starts to develop a dangerous fixation with John as the pregnancy moves further along.
After exhausting all other options, the couple hire Anna (Jazz Sinclair), a beautiful young woman who agrees to become a surrogate mother for the Taylors.
