Son of Sara is supposed to be a part of a planned series of films which could potentially improve its standing down the road. Go to Full Review

An uneven but worthwhile watch, elevated by committed performances, impressive practical effects and a wildly entertaining final act Go to Full Review

Writer-director Houston Bone follows many of the expected beats, but he gets more creative as he goes, leading to a delightfully deranged finale. Go to Full Review

8/10
Rather than simply rolling names, Bone includes heartfelt acknowledgments to filmmakers whose work clearly shaped his imagination. Go to Full Review
Lindsay Traves The Smash List Aug 2, 2026
Elevated by powerful performances and drenched in burgundy blood and a good amount of bites, it’s a goopy fun romp that’ll have the audience gagging and gagged. Go to Full Review
Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Aug 2, 2026
a mostly derivative movie for the first hour and a fairly solid final twenty-five minutes devoted to mixing some horror tropes in a fresh way with a message about women’s autonomy and a child’s well-being Go to Full Review

Jeremiah T @RT86280915 2 days ago Son of Sarah which is really a remake of Rosemary's Baby should have spent more time being creative then pushing the political agenda. Just little lines like "busting a nut doesn't make you a father". It's an attack on fatherhood and the establishment of marriage. How we view the relationship between fathers and mothers. Here we have an alternate Lifestyles with their own ideology which is not accepted by mainstream public. So I could have did without that. I just want a good movie and I did not get a good movie I got a remake and the Remake was way worse then what the movie copied this is just a retake on Rosemary's Baby. The movie is supposed to be for entertainment purposes only I can do without all the other stuff I just want to be entertained and you did not do that. See more
TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 6 days ago Son of Sara is one of the worst horror movies I have watched. It is not scary, and the opening is so inappropriate and far-fetched that it nearly made me stop watching. The scene is uncomfortable and unnecessary, especially with a pregnant character involved. Even without that element, it is not something I want to see at the beginning of a horror film. The screenplay feels completely backward, as though it is operating in its own world without considering what might captivate an audience. Instead of building suspense or giving viewers a reason to care, the story loses direction. I kept waiting for it to become engaging, but the writing never gave me a reason to get invested. I expected much more from Son of Sara, but it never delivers anything frightening or appealing. It comes across as a weak horror film that struggles to find its purpose. Between the disturbing opening, confusing screenplay, and lack of suspense, this was a disappointing experience. I would not recommend it. See more
Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 20, 2026 This movie had the ingredients for a creepy horror film, but almost none of them work. The devil looks more goofy than frightening, and his son is just as underwhelming. The relationship drama (bisexual sh*t) also became repetitive and distracting instead of adding much to the story. What could've been genuinely scary ends up feeling frustrating, silly, and ultimately like a waste of time. See more
Monoj D @Mr_Billions Aug 2, 2026 A Deliberate, Atmosphere-Driven Descent Into Horror Son of Sara favors psychological tension over conventional scares, crafting an unsettling atmosphere that lingers beneath every frame. The direction shows confidence in restraint, allowing silence, carefully composed imagery, and measured pacing to generate unease rather than relying on excessive jump scares. The performances ground the supernatural elements with emotional credibility, while the cinematography and sound design reinforce the film's oppressive mood. Although its slow-burn structure may test some viewers' patience, the payoff is both haunting and thematically resonant. Son of Sara stands as a thoughtful genre entry that values mood, character, and psychological depth as much as horror itself. A compelling and elegantly crafted horror film that rewards patient viewers. 8.5/10. See more
