‘Umma’ Trailer – Sam Raimi-Produced Horror Movie Unleashes One Evil Mother
Produced by Sam Raimi, Iris K. Shim‘s supernatural horror movie Umma (Korean for “mother”) is being released by Sony on March 18, 2022, and the official trailer has arrived today.
“A mother’s love never dies” is the tagline on the Umma poster (also found below), and the trailer unleashes a tormented spirit which looks to take the form of a Kumiho, a nine-tailed fox spirit from Korean folklore. Kumiho is the Korean term for succubus, and you can see the nine-tailed fox at the 2:04 mark in the trailer. Umma is here, and she’s not alone…
Wikipedia explains, “The only role the kumiho—the nine-tailed fox—plays in Korea is the demoness. Whether she appears as maiden, wife, or succubus, the kumiho’s sole goals are power and death. She is the only kind of fox that kills with her own hands, and also the only kind of fox that eats her prey.” This creature recently appeared in “Lovecraft Country.”
Watch the Umma trailer below, and expect the film in theaters.
Umma follows Sandra Oh as Amanda, living a quiet life with her daughter (Fivel Stewart) on an American farm. But when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea, Amanda becomes haunted by the fear of turning into her own mother. The cast also includes Dermot Mulroney, Odeya Rush, MeeWha Alana Lee and Tom Yi.
Iris K. Shim wrote the script and directed Umma.
Through the banner Raimi Productions, Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi are the producers. Umma is also executive produced by André Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark).
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
