Universal Pictures and Blumhouse release the first trailer for “Other Mommy,” a new horror film starring Jessica Chastain. Multiple outlets describe the film’s premise as involving Chastain in a dual role as a mother confronted by a sinister, supernatural doppelgänger that terrorizes her family—particularly an 8-year-old girl. The trailer depicts frightening moments tied to an ominous presence emerging from a closet and escalating threats inside the home.
Several reports also note the trailer’s unconventional debut, with screenings tied to movie theaters. It plays ahead of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” and outlets characterize audience reactions as intense, with viewers reporting that the trailer is unsettling even before the film’s release. Coverage further credits Rob Savage as director (known for “Host”) and identifies the film’s producing and studio backing as Universal and Blumhouse, with additional mentions of Blumhouse Atomic Monster.
The film’s release date is consistently reported as October 9, with outlets framing the marketing as a fall horror launch built around the trailer’s reveal and the “Other Mommy” concept.
