Changeling Puts on a Human Mask in Irish Horror ‘You Are Not My Mother’ [Image]
ScreenDaily shares the very first photo from the new Halloweentime horror You Are Not My Mother, the feature debut of writer-director Kate Dolan.
The film takes an interesting spin on the holiday, utilizing a doppelganger of a family member to create the horror.
“In You Are Not My Mother, when a mother returns home after disappearing the week before Halloween, her daughter notices that her behavior has changed and is increasingly frightening. When Halloween night arrives, the daughter realizes she is the only one who can save her.”
Inspired by the ancient mythology of the changeling, a creature that takes on human form, it does call to mind one of the best scenes in It Follows.
The film stars Hazel Doupe, Carolyn Bracken and Jordanne Jones.
Currently in post-production, UK-based sales agency Bankside Films is handling worldwide rights.
Dolan’s previous work includes the 2017 horror short Catcalls, shared below.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
