Other Mommy is a 2026 supernatural horror film directed by Rob Savage and produced through the Blumhouse and Atomic Monster partnership. The film is based on Josh Malerman’s bestselling novel Incidents Around the House, bringing its unsettling story of childhood fear, family tension, and a supernatural presence to the screen.Show More
At the center of the movie is Bela, an eight-year-old girl whose home life becomes increasingly disturbing. Her family is already dealing with marital problems when something far more frightening begins emerging from the darkness of her home. A mysterious presence appears to Bela and takes on the familiar appearance of her mother.
Bela calls this frightening presence “Other Mommy.” What makes the entity especially disturbing is that it does not simply behave like a traditional monster. Instead, it attempts to establish a relationship with Bela by presenting itself as something familiar, comforting, and trustworthy.
The danger grows as the entity becomes increasingly involved in Bela’s world. Its presence turns ordinary spaces inside the family home into sources of fear, while Bela is forced to question what is real and whom she can trust.
Jessica Chastain plays both Bela’s mother, Ursula, and the supernatural Other Mommy, creating an unsettling contrast between genuine family familiarity and an imitation that hides something sinister. Jay Duplass plays Daddo, Bela’s father, while Arabella Olivia Clark portrays Bela.
The story focuses heavily on the emotional connection between a child and her family. Fear comes not only from the supernatural threat but also from the possibility that something dangerous can imitate the people we trust most.
That makes Other Mommy especially suited to a personality quiz. Your choices can reflect whether you respond to fear with curiosity, protection, control, or emotional understanding.
This quiz matches those personality traits with four characters from the film: Bela, Other Mommy/Ursula, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth.
