Jessica Chastain’s Other Mommy horror final trailer is out
The supernatural horror world is buzzing, and the latest chilling addition is hitting the screens with a full-blown trailer for Other Mommy. Starring the formidable Jessica Chastain and helmed by director Rob Savage, this film promises to be a deeply unsettling adaptation of Josh Malerman’s novel, Incidents Around the House.
As horror fans eagerly await the film’s October theatrical release, this new trailer offers one last glimpse into the twisted world of the novel. It’s a compelling look at how a seemingly ordinary home can quickly transform into a cage of terror, providing a fresh take on the classic trope of childhood fear.
At the heart of the horror lies eight-year-old Bela, whose fragile home life is already strained by parental troubles. Her ordeal escalates dramatically when a sinister presence, dubbed “Other Mommy,” begins to emerge from the shadows of her closet every night. The entity’s chilling, insistent question—“Can I go inside your heart?”—sets the stage for a terrifying psychological descent.
When Bela refuses, the entity’s aggression intensifies, placing her and her entire family in grave danger. This haunting premise immediately draws comparisons to classic cinematic horrors, particularly the emotional resonance found in films like Mama, where a mysterious maternal entity haunts young characters.
The ensemble cast is stacked with talent, featuring Jessica Chastain alongside Jay Duplass, Dichen Lachman, Karen Allen, Sean Kaufman, Adam Silver, Carrie Dimaculangan, and newcomer Arabella Olivia Clark, who brings a fresh perspective as eight-year-old Bela.
The production behind Other Mommy signals serious cinematic pedigree. Rob Savage, known for his work on films like The Boogeyman and Host, directs the feature, working from a screenplay penned by Nathan Elston. The film is a collaboration between production houses Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, in association with Spin a Black Yarn for Universal Pictures.
The creative team also includes producer James Wan, alongside executive producers Rob Savage and Josh Malerman, ensuring a potent blend of suspense and directorial vision. Alayna Glasthal oversees the project for Atomic Monster, lending further weight to the production quality.
With an R rating from the MPA for “some bloody violence, and language,” the film promises intense thrills without holding back on the psychological intensity. Mark your calendars: while Universal Pictures initially slated a May 2026 release, the studio has wisely shifted the focus to the Halloween season. Other Mommy is officially set to arrive in theaters on October 9, 2026.
