Mother, May I?

In a disturbing descent into psychological horror, Emmett's engagement takes a dark turn as his recently deceased mother's persona comes back to life in his wife Anya, leading to a nightmarish game of therapy that blurs the lines between reality and role-playing. With its tight five-week shooting schedule and converted dairy barn setting, this found-footage thriller masterfully crafts an atmosphere of unease and tension, drawing inspiration from 1970s American cinema and Buddhist principles. As Emmett and Anya's relationship becomes increasingly entangled with trauma and possession, the film becomes a slow-burning exploration of psychosexual tension and the devastating consequences of suppressed emotions.
