Jessica Chastain’s Bonkers New Horror Movie Just Keeps Getting Scarier

Universal is preparing for the release of Other Mommy, a horror film starring Jessica Chastain in a dual role as both a loving mother and her terrifying evil doppelgänger. Directed by Rob Savage, known for The Boogeyman and Host, the film follows a chilling premise where the malevolent duplicate hides under tables and contorts her body in grotesque, unnatural ways. The bone-chilling trailer has already generated significant anticipation ahead of the film’s October 9 theatrical release. Universal shared exclusive new footage with Polygon as part of their 2026 Fall Preview, further building momentum for what appears to be a standout entry in contemporary horror cinema. With its disturbing imagery and high-profile cast, Other Mommy is positioning itself as a major contender in the horror landscape.
