Heavenly Creatures: Another reason not to spawn

Here's another reason to not have kids: So your teenage daughter and her friend won't go batshit crazy and bash your head in with a brick! "Heavenly Creatures" is a film by Peter Jackson and based on a true story from the 1950s in New Zealand. It's a great movie, but really freaky!

Does anyone enjoy other films that unintentionally give people reasons not to sprog?

i love films that dont have children in, where children are a secondary thing not mentioned..

i like brimstone and treacle one of the odder films. not easy and disturbing,

Myra, a self-styled psychic in London, concocts a scheme to gain celebrity. She convinces Billy, her weak-willed husband, to kidnap the young daughter of wealthy parents. She and Billy will demand money, and then she will go to the parents with extra-sensory messages that will help the police find the child and the ransom. The plan unfolds beautifully, except that after her first visit to the parents, the police want to check her out. He's scared. As her delusions worsen, Bill realizes Myra may not want the child found alive. Behind it all is also the death at birth, years before, of their only child, whom they've named Arthur and who is Myra's contact with the beyond.

She so wanted a child that she created him as a spirit guide..

The Omen comes to mind, but wasn't he adopted? ANY movie where the kid goes bad is always a riot.

swapped at birth, the real mother was a jackal..

Ooh ooh, I know this is an old-ish thread, but I just had to say that I love that film too, it's one of my favourites.
Scary story, that movie was filmed in my hometown (where the real murder happened), and as a child I used to play in the park where the murder took place!! I didn't know though, until I first saw the movie when I was 13 or so, and I said to my mum, 'Did you know that woman was murdered in that park you used to take me to play in when I was little?!' and she was like, 'Of course!'. I was like, 'Then why did you let me play there? That's freaky!'. I mean, ok, by the time I was playing there about 40 years had passed since the murder, but still - it freaked me out!

That's creepy! It's like, "thanks mom, please send me to therapy now!"

In the Omen remake of two years ago, the husband suggested to his frazzled wife - who was dealing with Nasty Damien - how she needed to have another baybee to help her mental state. It did not matter the woman was freaked at having a demon child and she was reduced to living in a bathrobe! It is like that in "real life": Just go ahead and have another one. As if cranking out another baby is going to solve the problem. Look at Andrea Yates. If having more kids made a woman mentally healthier, the Yates woman would be the pillar of mental health!
