Directed by Marielle Heller

The premise
A woman, thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.
Horror Vault's take
A former artist now anchored to suburban domesticity begins noticing deeply strange changes in herself — changes that feel less like a breakdown and more like something feral clawing its way to the surface. Amy Adams leads this darkly comedic and quietly disturbing adaptation, blending magic realism with raw maternal frustration. Equal parts satire and body horror, Nightbitch refuses to let the mundane and the monstrous stay neatly separated.
