By the time the local cops appear there is no evidence of break-in for Detectives Paul (Emile Hirsch) and Steve (Cranston Johnson). Steve thinks Laura thought of him, chalking him to sleep or dreaming lucidly – but Laura insists that in the house people are trying to abduct David. Paul is more friendly and says they’re going to look into it. She looks for signs and bruises when she leaves David. David says he doesn’t remember what happened, when he wakes up, other than that he dreamed of drowning in a bloodstream. Yikes.
The situation gets worse for Laura, as her life in the cultic world is suppressed memories, and David suddenly feels unexplainably sick — like puking blood and sick-like flesh-crackles. Laura insists that the cults poison him, but the physicians undertake every test and can find, of course, nothing. They know just by the minute it becomes worse and will probably not get it through the night.
It was not long before the sickness of David came back, though. And when he comes back to the hospital, Laura overstepped the sounds outside the door and watches doctors tell something such as, ‘The boy is the priority’ and ‘Wait till she sleeps.’ Laura sees a few shady-looking men come out of a car and this is all she needs to motivate David to leave. As she rides across the street, she brings him to the neighbor’s to pack her things. Also, you must try to play this Son quiz.
Son quiz
“Can I be fair to you?” This is a doctor talking about the mediocre horror psychodrama “Son” from an early scene so you know the good news is not coming. Of course, the physician takes his glasses away – no good sign at all – and says, “We do not know what this is.” “Son” refers to the sick David and Laura’s single mother (Andi Matichak), who escaped the religious cults eight years ago and now may or may not be psychologically unstable. I mean, it does not: it concerns what’s really happen with David (Luke David Blumm).
Also (and this is where I must throw a warning from NECESSARY SPOILER): David could be a vampire or not. At least, it is that between gastrointestinal bleeding and stronger skin rashes that his symptoms and generic behavior. The health of David improves only after he’s eating human flesh, so that’s what he’s doing.
But there’s not much mystery regarding “Son” what really takes place. Rather, much of the film is a narrative about Laura, a single woman who may have made up a past trauma to explain sex trauma that is sometimes addressed, but not considered seriously. Ivan Kavanagh (“The Canal,” or something similar), writer or director, employs vampirism to simplify his personal complaint to few emotive symbols.
About the quiz
Son becomes a movie about the monsters in us escaping from your history. It has the understanding of what could happen if Rosemary’s baby had a succession. And Rosemary escaped and started on the lamb. It also reminded me somewhat of what would occur following the movie Grace. I highly suggest it if you never saw this hidden gem.
Is it a monster for David? Laura is insane? (unlikely as David kills a few of people pretty obviously.) Is anyone thinking about him or is this cult going to catch up with him and show us how all this started? Mother of Films has the retrospect in news clippings and has it added to the end of this film review when you want answers. Hit the triangle and open a part on the Son spoiler.
The uneven memory gaps were not working for me. From time to time, flashes of the past Laura occur to her. Suffice it to cover the tracks of her son with facts about the culture. So that the cops don’t come too quickly. David’s memories of loss shortly after his first kill, which goes on for the duration of the movie, are also a bit aggravating. I think if David’s personality shifted a bit when he recovered, it would have been cooler. He remembered sickness in particular.
It becomes evident that Laura’s release was not too long before the film started. Furthermore, it is briefly said that her doctor in the institution treated her to think of the rape stories to disguise the truth of the fact that she called Lucifer instead.
