- Other Mommy has a first-look trailer which gives us a glimpse at Jessica Chastain's return to horror
- The movie will arrive in theaters on October 9, 2026
- Rob Savage, the director of Zoom horror sensation Host, is behind the terrifying new movie
2026 has been a bumper year for horror, and it's about to get even bigger when one of my anticipated new movies Other Mommy arrives in theaters on October 9.
Other Mommy follows Bela, a young girl, who gets mixed up with a mysterious force in her house that resembles her mother. Here, Jessica Chastain takes on a dual role as Bela’s mother and as “Other Mommy,” the supernatural entity that's haunting the place.
I'm already excited for this movie because it's got a stellar team behind it. Chastain stars alongside Severance's Dichen Lachman and it's directed by Rob Savage, who you may know for directing the Zoom horror movie Host.

I'm very excited for Other Mommy because recent box office figures have shown that audiences love original horror which spins a unique tale of terror, instead of more reboots or remakes.
In the cover image for Other Mommy's trailerwe can see recent horror hits Obsessionand Backroomsreferenced. It's clear just how influential they have been in championing this new wave of horror stories.
This is also a huge return to the genre for actor Jessica Chastain, after she appeared in IT: Chapter Two in 2019. It's great to see her back taking on a creepy new role, requiring her to play two versions of the same character.
