When the Bough Breaks

When the Bough Breaks (2016) is an American thriller directed by Jon Cassar — watch it online on iFILM. John and Laura Anderson (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) have found what looks like the perfect surrogate to carry their child. Anna (Jaz Sinclair) is young, willing, and seems stable. For a few months, everything holds.

Then the visits get more frequent. Anna lingers. She watches John in a way that stops being accidental. The couple slowly pieces together what they are dealing with: their surrogate has fixed on the husband and has decided she belongs in this family. The unborn child gives her leverage, and she uses it — quietly at first, then less so. Romany Malco, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Theo Rossi fill out a supporting cast that complicates every exit the Andersons try to take.

The film plays it straight as a genre piece: a clear, escalating setup, a villain who is frightening precisely because she has her own internal logic rather than random cruelty, and enough pressure kept on throughout. Jaz Sinclair's performance is what separates it from the average stalker thriller. Stream When the Bough Breaks (2016) full movie online on iFILM.
