Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is delivering an extra jolt in theaters, courtesy of a surprise trailer that's stealing the conversation. Before the epic film even begins, audiences are getting an early look at Other Mommy, a new horror film starring Jessica Chastain in a dual role that some viewers say contains one of the biggest jump scares they've seen, per USA Today. The movie follows 8-year-old Bela (Arabella Olivia Clark), who befriends a malevolent presence in her home that looks just like her mother.
Directed by Rob Savage and written by Succession alum Nathan Elston, the film adapts Josh Malerman's novel Incidents Around the House, with The Conjuring director James Wan among its producers. Savage says the way Malerman "[disrupted] the usual horror rhythms" made him want to adapt the story for the big screen. "You normally expect things to happen in certain places at certain junctures in the movie," he says, per People. "This movie—like the book—kind of upends that at every turn."
Social media reactions to the trailer range from the "can't sleep" variety to "sign me up," ahead of the film's Oct. 9 theatrical release. "Absolutely terrifying," one person wrote on X. "Left me with a chill down my spine." Another noted, per the Washington Post: "It should be illegal to put a horror movie trailer with a jump scare before a non-horror movie." Some were more enthusiastic, with one excited viewer proclaiming, "I will be at the theater front and center," per USA Today. (This content was created with the help of AI. Read our AI policy.)
