I did have some issues with some bits and I do think some of the foreshadowing was way too on the nose at certain points, but I liked this well enough. As someone who is deeply afraid of being pregnant and doesn’t want kids, the horror was probably a lot more effective for me than it was for others. I do think the epilogue was kind of stupid though, makes the antagonist feel a bit too much like supervillains in my opinion

This is a personal thing, but I kind of wish Maeve got to kill that bitch Andrea with her own bare hands. I’m satisfied that she at least got Rob, but Andrea deserved way worse for what she did to her.
