Baby Obsession (2018 TV Movie)
7/10
Dueling Doulas
10 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Raquel Blackwell has changed her name to Rose Carr. She is intent on becoming the doula to a specific family. She uses her vehicle to kill the doula first assigned to the Grays. Then, she uses a rock to kill the receptionist she bribed at the birthing center.

Anna Gray and her loving husband Jon welcome a new baby into the world, sweet little Sarah Joy. The Gray family will be on the receiving end of Raquel's services as a doula. But Raquel has her sights set on abducting little Sarah Joy as a replacement for her daughter Violet, who died in an accidental crib death while young Anna was on duty as the babysitter.

The only question is how slow will Anna and Jon be in recognizing Raquel's evil intentions. The answer is: glacially slow. Even Anna's bestie Jane recognizes Raquel as a fraud from the first meeting. Jane then pays the price by getting clocked in the head by a tire iron. Let's hope that Jane likes hospital food.

While the film was a by-the-numbers doula drama, the performances were excellent. Even such secondary characters as Chris, the kind ex-husband of Raquel, were vividly portrayed. The filmmakers left the door open for a possible sequel as Raquel takes her act to a new town, a new home, and a new baby. By the end of the film it is easy to recognize that she is no shrinking violet.
