Writer/director Kate Dolan is coming out swinging with her first feature film ‘You Are Not My Mother.’ The new deeply unsettling trailer sets us up for some dark Irish folk horror without giving away too much. It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on when a mother goes missing and comes back decidedly…different. Creepy different. The premise feels like it perhaps comes from the changeling legends, but fairies usually swap children with changelings not adults! Check out the trailer below!

“It’s the week before Halloween. Char’s bedridden mother, Angela, has mysteriously gone missing. All that remains is her abandoned car parked in the middle of a field. When Angela returns home to their North Dublin estate the following evening without explanation, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look and sound the same, but Angela’s behavior has become increasingly erratic and frightening, as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force. As Halloween approaches, a night steeped in ancient Irish myth and legend, Char must unearth the dark secrets of her family in order to uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance and save her, even if it means potentially losing her forever.”
‘You Are Not My Mother’ is in theaters and On Demand on March 25, 2022.
