Universal Pictures India (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery) is set to bring a terrifying new horror film, Other Mommy, to cinemas in October 2026. From James Wan, one of modern horror’s most influential names, and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, the studio behind Backrooms and Obsession, the film is directed by breakout genre director Rob Savage.
Other Mommy Plot & Storyline
Based on the bestselling novel by Josh Malerman, Other Mommy is a shocking new nightmare that follows the story of Bela, a young girl who forms a relationship with a sinister entity in her home that looks uncannily like her own mother. As the entity befriends Bela, she soon finds herself being hunted by the very presence that has entered her life.

It is rare for any film, much less a horror film, to be narratively structured around a young child. Making matters even more challenging, Other Mommy is not only told from the perspective of a 7-year-old girl, Bela, but also the character appears in almost every scene, and the role demands a depth and range of emotion that few child actors could achieve. It is no exaggeration to say that the film hinged on this casting decision.
Other Mommy Cast & Release Date
The film stars Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain in the dual roles of Bela’s mother and the sinister entity known as Other Mommy. Jay Duplass plays Bela’s father, Daddo, while Arabella Olivia Clark stars as Bela.
The supporting cast includes Dichen Lachman as paranormal scientist Lois Anthony, Arian Moayed as family friend Uncle Frank, and Karen Allen as Bela’s grandmother Ruth, alongside Sean Kaufman, Adam Silver and Alec Secareanu.
Step into Bela’s world when Other Mommy comes to cinemas on 9th October 2026.
