First of all the good: good recitation. Now the big problems on this movie: **** spoiler **** 1) the female protagonist is good however she is anorexic (ok a pregnant woman could be anorexic but it's not good message for viewers nor for the person in that state or condition); 2) predictable: after 20 minutes the plot is understandable; 3) the story is clear, what is not clear is the reason the main female character continues to stay together an assassin when she is so worry for her pregnancy (that's not coherent: to live together the real menace against her and her baby); 4) she discovers the dead body of the victim of a murder but she doesn't inform the police; 5) she is worried for the disappearance of a girl but doesn't inform any authorities after having detecting the corpse; 6) the director wants to make a movie which lasts the usual time line forcing the story to be prolix and contradictory without any event to add; 7) this kind of movie often tends to implement a phantom/spirit which seems evil but it is not evil; why the spirit terrifies the person which should be help to solve the case?; why the spirit is not calm so to unveil immediately the story about her murder? ("because otherwise the movie immediately ends"). Conclusion: there is no story,,, only the try to generate a valid motivation to see the movie until the end. This movie could finish after 20 minutes. I would have to give 5 stars to this movie for effort but I'm too angry because of the lost occasion to make a decent movie. I dislike for the actors and their duty. My suggestions: don't make this kind of movie, ask for Rebecca Da Costa to eat food before to make movies or other kind of job because anorexia is not beauty but to be as coat hanger is.

I like to check IMDb ratings to gauge the potential of a movie before watching, however I'm glad I did not follow this rule for Breaking at the Edge as I would have missed a good movie (it was actually one of the reviews here that convinced me to give it a go)."The Firstling" (as it's called on my streaming service) scores points for the suspense, good scary scenes, good dialogues and a storyline that holds well enough.But to me the biggest selling point of the movie is the performance of Rebecca Da Costa as the beautiful and intelligent young wife. She brings a spark and depth to her character that is unexpected and really pulls the movie up.

A pregnant woman (Rebecca DaCosta) fears for her unborn child's life if she does not avenge a supernatural entity.So, seriously, how did they get Andie McDowell? Does she owe a bookie some money or get behind on her mortgage? Because she is above this sort of thing... or at least she should be."When I was shooting it, it was very intense," Da Costa said in February 2014. "I was literally getting crazy." She said that preparing for the role she "talked to many psychiatrists. I didn't want to look like I was trying to play crazy." Um, well, your acting comes across as pretty poor. So if you were going crazy, it does not show and if you were playing crazy, it shows even less.The music sounds like the theme to "The Snowman" (1982). Thank you for stealing it. The camera shakes for no reason, even when filming a scene of people sitting still and talking. Why? Was there an artistic reason for this? Of course not.Clearly the script was pretty good, because the whole idea of seeing through other eyes is great if pulled off right. This film is not pulled off right. Which is obvious when commenters think it has some connection to "Rosemary's Baby". Huh?

It was a solid movie. Unlike the other reviewer friend, I liked the direction too. It wasn't the best thing in the world but actors were convincing and it was an enjoyable and mysterious story.Rebecca De Costa did a good job on her character and she was able to pull you into the story with her emotional ups and downs.It wasn't a visually rich movie though which is something I look on horror movies. I usually expect very well shot scenes giving the taste of the atmosphere with good photography but this movie was lack of it a bit. I enjoyed the rich and finely composed visual scenes with great photography on movies like Sadako and Woman In Black a lot for example but Breaking at the Edge was a bit dull when it comes to this. Music was very well and was going well with the story and scenes and was able to reflect the emotions, sounds effects wasn't overdone overall except in a few scenes which there was some unnecessary noises, and it wasn't scary but annoying. Other than music, voices and effects were fine. I have a tendency to like & support female lead movies. But I also try to keep my reviews unbiased as I can. So I recommend you to give a chance to this movie. Maybe you will not going to love it but also you will not dislike it or hate it. Worth to watch...
