Her Only Living Son is an intriguing indie horror that really delves into the maternal bond and the dark complexities of family. Cora, played with an unsettling blend of vulnerability and strength, is on the run from her husband, searching for a semblance of normalcy with her son, Andy. But as Andy approaches his eighteenth birthday, the atmosphere thickens—his transformation is gradual yet palpable. The film leans heavily on its tension, using practical effects that, while not overly flashy, add to the chilling vibe. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to simmer in Cora's dread. It’s not just about scares; it examines love, fear, and the unknown lurking in familial ties. Definitely distinct in its approach, this one lingers in the mind.
