3.5/4

Goyette takes a simple premise and then tightens the screws. He interjects the darkest of humor and spends time on making his characters more than caricatures.

2.5/4

It’s still an undeniably strong debut, maybe not the best in show for the genre this year, but promising enough that its filmmaker could one day claim that title.

Alex Goyette’s darkly humorous thriller is part Misery, part Island of Dr. Moreau, and part Mommie Dearest

4.5/5

Breeder is powerful horror storytelling, as it addresses the ableist and racist ‘science’ of eugenics, and places a male character in a vulnerable situation all too often occupied by female characters.

While it loses sight of its interesting ideas to become a bit more of a standard thriller in the third act, this is a whip-smart debut feature with a standout central performance from an oft-sidelined brilliant character actress.

3/5

Despite the provocative promise of its premise, Breeder doesn't get nearly as outrageous as it could, but it does give us a divinely crafted villain masterfully and maleficently performed by Dot-Marie Jones.

The movie was an excellent watch if you love a weird horror. I found that it was a little slow or unbelievable in some places but overall a great watch.

It was just overall underwhelming. The breeder character was a good character but I just don't think they did much with her and the storyline was a little weak but it could have been a much better movie based on the plot, it just was written at minimum entertainment level. There were people in the theater that actually said this movie sucked when it ended so you probably could wait till it come out on TV.

Good movie, I think the concept alone keeps you interested. Very bizarre movie with a couple head scratching scenes.
