When the Bough Breaks is a psychological thriller directed by Jon Cassar (Forsaken, 24). The film stars Morris Chestnut, Regina Hall, and Jaz Sinclair.
In the nail-biting thriller, wannabe parents John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) find out how a lullaby life can quickly become a waking nightmare. The Taylors desperately want a baby to make their picture perfect family complete. After exhausting all other options, the ideal woman walks into their life: Anna (Jaz Sinclair). She’s undeniably beautiful, friendly, and ready to be the Taylors’ surrogate. They immediately hire her, and take her under their wing. As Anna gets further along in the pregnancy, the trust between her and the Taylors starts to crack. She develops a dangerous fixation on John that grows increasingly psychotic, and he begins to learn that she’s not who she says she is. A deadly game has been set in motion, and it will take everything the Taylors have to fight for control of their future before it’s too late.
“This is a thriller about a couple that can’t have a child naturally and so they decide to use a surrogate,” explains Cassar. “This is their last chance to have a baby with their genetics, which is very complicated when you throw in a psychotic surrogate. I was immediately enthralled with this script because not only do we have a couple that is so desperate to have a child, there are legal issues with hiring a surrogate that can make this very complicated.”
When the Bough Breaks is rated 14A.
