Reception

Stephanie Malone from the Morbidly Beautiful gave it 3.5/5 stars writing: "You don’t have to be a mother to appreciate The Beldham in all its gut-wrenching glory, but it certainly helps. An exquisite payoff adds depth and makes every meticulously crafted piece of the puzzle fall perfectly into place." [7] DarkSkyLady critic gave it a positive review praising the performances of female cast. [8] Roberto Tyler Ortiz from Loud and Clear Reviews gave it 3/5 stars writing: "In striving to deliver a fresh take on a familiar trope, The Beldham highlights the chilling isolation of motherhood but loses its grip on the emotional depth that could have made its narrative truly haunting." [9] In a review by Catherine Bray of The Guardian , she compared the film positively to The Babadook , released in 2014. [1]
