This really had me on the edge of my seat, and it's so courageous that someone thought to make a movie about a book where everyone is covering their eyes! Very creepy. I did wonder about some of the pregnancy-related facts though. Those bits seemed less plausible. Definitely extremely heckin gory though.

Spoiler

-There's a scene where the main protag considers and almost does brutally blind her children, Main protag mentions continually hitting or refusing to feed her kids until they did a skill correctly, Main protag at the beginning of the book threatens to harm her children if they disobey- however this could be taken as a literal warning of what could happen due to the nature of the monsters in the book
