Jessica Chastain Says Oct. 9 Horror Film Other Mommy Turns Parents Into a Child’s Worst Fear

Summary
Jessica Chastain said the most frightening element in Other Mommy is its metaphor: a child no longer knowing whether a parent is the one safe place to trust.
The film centers on that fear by having Chastain play both Ursula and her doppelganger “Other Mommy,” while Arabella Olivia Clark’s Bela struggles to tell her real mother from the monster.
Jay Duplass co-stars as “Daddo,” and Chastain singled out Clark’s performance as key to showing Bela’s confusion about her place in the family.
