The juxtaposition of the upbeat doo-wop tune “Be My Baby” with an increasingly suspenseful and uneasy vibe and imagery makes for a perfectly unsettling tease of this horrific approach to pregnancy. “Pregnancy gone bad” is not an uncommon horror subgenre, but few films have ever come close to emulating the kind of story thatRosemary’s Babyterrified audiences with back in 1968. But perhaps this movie can take that premise to a whole new level.
Though this certainly feels like a successor toRosemary’s Baby, let’s remember that we don’t know what’s going on with this pregnancy. Is there a chance this is meant to be the son of the devil? Sure. But it could easily be another sinister scenario involving a demon, an alien, or any number of unnatural beings growing in the womb. Knowing A24, it could be something even weirder than that. No matter what’s going on, there’s clearly something not quite right about this bundle of joy.
False Positiveis directed byJohn Lee, who also wrote the script and produced the film with Ilana Glazer.Jonathan Wangalso serves as producer, and the rest of the cast includesPierce Brosnan,Sophia BushandGretchen Mol.
