OTHER MOMMY is a fascinating mess that ultimately doesn't work; it's never the movie that trailers sell. Anyone with a soft spot for Andy Muschietti's MAMA or Mike Flanagan's BEFORE I WAKE might actually be into this one.
Joseph Kahn Joseph Kahn’ed again on THR. You’re better off missing it haha.
I think the one good kill in OTHER MOMMY might actually be good enough to make my end of year "Best Horror Kills" list?
def leans into religious doom in my head
Meanwhile I just hit the reds part of HELLRAISER and oh boy, this game is something so far.
Your daily reminder that hate clicks are still clicks and if you don't want to see more of the bad thing, stop giving the bad thing your attention! Go find the good things!
Fans of the V/H/S franchise have another winner with V/H/S/MIXTAPE—out now!
Personally I’m just waiting for the Mike Flanagan SHARKNADO reboot.
I have now received two separate interview invites insisting that "detailed questions are submitted in advance." Because we're seeing such a shift with tenured people losing positions and green writers getting brought in at content farms, let me be clear: that is not how journalism works.
I haven’t read the book! I’m approaching it as a movie-goer only.
Yeah that’s how I felt, but souring as I write my review haha.
At least it wasn’t Dashcam bad haha.
In this she gets to be "good mom" and "demon mom," so again, playing with a different type of role.
When it hits, it hits.
Tickled me too much not to hahha.
Martin Lawrence shows up in the third act as a babysitter, has to fight the demon. Sorry, spoilers!
Honestly it just made me laugh to clarify that hahha.
(Not BIG MOMMA vibes, like big MAMA the movie vibes.)
OTHER MOMMY: Big Mama vibes, take that how you will. I don’t think it’s terrible? Definitely a janky mix of innocent children’s fables and demonic threats, but it’s not trying to be the movie trailers tease. More like a coming-of-age bedtime story invaded by a malevolent trickster. Huh.
