Universal Pictures releases a second official trailer for “Other Mommy,” the upcoming horror film from director Rob Savage. The new footage focuses on a threatening presence that appears to take the form of Bela’s mother, turning the family home into a site of escalating dread.
In the film, Bela is an 8-year-old girl living through marital problems involving her parents. As the entity grows more active, Bela confronts what she calls “Other Mommy,” a manifestation that comes from her closet and increasingly endangers her and her family. Jessica Chastain stars in dual roles as both Bela’s mother and the “Other Mommy,” with Jay Duplass playing Bela’s father and Arabella Olivia Clark playing Bela.
Across outlets, emphasis falls on the trailer’s clearer presentation of the presence and Chastain’s unsettling performance. The FirstShowing.net piece also notes the movie’s connection to Josh Malerman’s book “Incidents Around the House” and highlights recurring motifs seen in the trailer, while ComingSoon.net centers on the trailer’s prominence as the clearest look yet.
