While fans prepared themselves for Christopher Nolan's three-hour epic, The Odyssey, they never expected to get a jump scare with Jessica Chastain's upcoming horror, Other Mommy.
Whether it was strategic or not, the team behind Rob Savage's supernatural psychological horror knew how to get fans talking. Before the start of The Odyseey, the new trailer for Other Mommy played in theaters across the country.
Based on the 2024 novel Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman, the trailer focuses on a mother coming home to her daughter. While everything appears normal, a sinister darkness takes over the mother. The trailer soon scares audiences with a quick shot of Chastain's distorted body under a table.
The trailer stunned audiences in theaters, with many having never expected a jump scare of that magnitude before the Matt Damon-led film.
“I was waiting for ‘The Odyssey’ to start and then Jessica Chastain’s head and contorted body popped out from under a table and I jump a foot in the air,” one X user wrote.
Another added, “The way people during my two screenings of ‘The Odyssey’ this weekend were screaming during this trailer for #OtherMommy….@blumhouse [is] gonna have a fun hit on their hands."
"What in the name of hell was that other mommy trailer right before the odyssey played. There’s literally no reason for us to be jumpscared jessica chastain at 10am, like half of my theater got spooked," said one fan.
"Thought process went “is this gonna be like that goodnight mommy mov- WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT," commented a fan.
One fan also commented, "BIG NOPE. A demon that looks exactly like your mom terrorizing you as a kid? Absolutely not. That’s nightmare fuel for life."
Other Mommy follows an 8-year-old named Bella who confronts a sinister monster from her closet she calls "Other Mommy." The spider-like creature soon takes on the exact likeness of her mother, Ursula (Chastain), and begins to terrorize the family. Can Bella differentiate the creature from her real mom?
Some fans can't help but see similarities in the storyline to the 2009 stop-motion fantasy horror filmCaroline. Based on a novella, the film follows a young girl who discovers an alternate universe where everyone she knows has a sinister and dangerous dark side.
The 2026 horror film also stars Jay Duplass, Arabella Olivia Clark, Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed, and Karen Allen, with a scheduled release date of Oct. 9.
