While scrolling through Hulu, a new psychological thriller caught our eye. Baby Ruby seems like the disturbing new mommy film this week calls for. Let’s get to know her better.

Official Synopsis

“Baby Ruby tells the story of Jo, a successful lifestyle entrepreneur who is happily pregnant, awaiting the arrival of her first child. But soon after Jo welcomes baby Ruby home, something starts to feel off– even though she’s assured it’s all perfectly normal. Is something wrong with her? Is something wrong with Ruby? And why are the seemingly perfect neighborhood moms so desperate to befriend her? As Jo fights to protect herself and her baby, she is plunged into a waking fever dream where everyone is a threat and nothing is what it seems. At last, she must confront the truth of her own darkness and contend with the ultimate human sacrifice: The one mothers make for their children.”

Baby Ruby was written and directed by Bess Wohl. It stars Noémie Merlant, Kit Harington, Meredith Hagner, and Camila Canó-Flaviá.

Amid the thirst tweets for Kit Harington, there is also a ton of praise for him and co-star Noémie Merlant. The film seems to also strike an unsettling chord with viewers.

See what Twitter is saying about Baby Ruby

for my fellow horror fans: baby ruby is a GEM! the horror of motherhood and postpartum in all its gory claustrophobia and introspection. (forever in love with Noémie Merlant ??)

Baby Ruby is a good horror-ish psychological issues movie.
It's quite normal for hormones to go haywire during & after pregnancy. Stress & sleepless nights just adds on to it.
Kit Harington & Noémie Merlant did a good job.

Baby Ruby Was Kraaazy

This new movie "Baby Ruby" on Hulu, which is a horror spoof about postpartum depression is soooo relatable. Being a new mom to a demanding infant can drive you insane esp if you're deeply sleep deprived. So glad I had a wonderful support system w/my first.

Watching Baby Ruby and holy shit does this movie capture the absolute horror of becoming a mother. From not being able to leave the hospital until you poop to sleep deprivation but then being so, so proud of the little perfect thing you created — and then terrified of ruining her pic.twitter.com/vpDUX2q0Ty
