Other Mommy: when a familiar face becomes frightening

A familiar face usually brings reassurance. In Other Mommy, a seven-year-old girl encounters a mysterious presence that takes the form of her mother, played by Jessica Chastain.

That premise opens up an unsettling question: what happens when something that should feel safe becomes difficult to trust? It offers a starting point for talking about supernatural horror, family relationships, and why familiar settings can make a frightening story feel especially personal.

You don’t need to have seen the film to join this spoiler-free discussion.

Would this premise make you curious to watch, or do you prefer a different kind of horror?
