Mother, May I?2023
“You only get one mother.”
Directed by Laurence Vannicelli
The premise
Emmett enters into a nightmarish game of therapy with his wife Anya, who has inexplicably taken on the persona of his estranged and recently-deceased mother.
Horror Vault's take
When Emmett and his wife Anya retreat to his late estranged mother's home, what begins as an attempt at closure quickly spirals into something deeply disturbing. Anya begins embodying the presence of Emmett's deceased mother in ways that feel far too real to dismiss, blurring the line between grief, psychology, and something far darker. The film traps its audience inside a suffocating two-person dynamic where trust and sanity are slowly dismantled. Fans of intimate, character-driven horror will find this one gets under the skin and stays there.
Content: Psychological Manipulation, Emotional Abuse Themes, Sexual Tension Involving Role-Play And Identity, Disturbing Maternal Imagery
