Comic Scribe Takes on Home Invasion with ‘County Road K’
Comicbook scribe Philip Gelatt is making his helming debut with indie County Road K,” a twist on the home-invasion horror genre. “I’m fascinated by the macabre little stories that occur off the main roads of Middle America, and ‘County Road K’ is exactly that kind of tale: small, twisted and unsettling,” said Gelatt, who also penned the script. The project is set to star Patrick Breen (“Cirque du Freak”), Alexandra Chando, Nina Lisandrello and Charlie Hewson. Gelatt sold his first graphic novel series, “Labor Days,” to Oni Press. He has also worked on Dark Horse and Lucasfilm’s “Indiana Jones Adventures” comicbook. He recently wrote a draft of “Nurse 3D” for Lionsgate. Production starts next month in New Jersey.
Up next from director Rob Savage (Host) is Other Mommy, an adaptation of Josh Malerman’s (Bird Box) novel Incidents Around the House, and the trailer has arrived.
Universal will release Other Mommy in theaters October 9, 2026.
Watch the official Other Mommy trailer below to begin this domestic nightmare.
From producer James Wan, one of the most influential architects of modern horror, and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, behind Backrooms and Obsession, comes a terrifying trip from breakout genre director Rob Savage, into the darkening world of a young girl, Bela, who forms a relationship with a sinister entity in her home who looks uncannily like her own mother.
Academy Award® winner Jessica Chastain (It Chapter Two, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) stars in dual roles as Bela’s mother and as “Other Mommy,” a manifestation of the entity.
Jay Duplass (Transparent, Industry) plays Daddo, Bela’s father, and Arabella Olivia Clark (The Housemaid, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle) plays Bela. The impressive supporting cast includes Actor Award nominee Dichen Lachman (Severance), Emmy and Tony Award nominee Arian Moayed (Succession) and screen legend Karen Allen (Indiana Jones).
Other Mommy is directed by Rob Savage (Host, The Boogeyman) from a screenplay by WGA award winner Nathan Elston, writer for the Emmy-winning sensation Succession, based on the New York Times bestselling novel Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).
