In fact, ‘ When The Bough Breaks’ could masquerade as a BET cable channel-based knock-off to filmmaker Adrian Lyne’s 1987 psycho-sexual thrill vehicle ‘ Fatal Attraction’, with an ethnic twist. The real shame is that ‘ Bough’ commonly echoes the commonplace conventions of a potent cheesy sexual thriller we have seen countless times to no end. Ultimately, ‘ When The Bough Breaks’ yearns to be a provocative pot-boiler with a high-end naughty pulse to its flat-lining frenzy of passion and pain. The artificial thrills fail to wring any imaginative or inventive suspense that register with genuine anxiety. Basically, Cassar’s transparent tension-filled teaser is atmospheric and arbitrary in the surrogate pregnancy genre. The so-called sinister shenanigans in ‘ When The Bough Breaks’ never feel majestic or mischievous enough to fill the realm of the big screen. Of course, the creepy cradle falls in the mediocre ‘ When The Bough Breaks’ when the Jon Cassar-directed, Jack Olsen-written hollow horror showcase commits the real scare of resembling a lightweight Lifetime Movie Channel twitchy televised project. Truthfully, its presentable package of panicky polish includes a stylish suspense piece highlighting an attractive cast involved in familiar dramatic cable-TV inspired shrugs and false jolts. The woefully generic ‘ When The Bough Breaks’ has the gloss factor going for it to a certain extent.
