YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER Scares Up An Official Trailer Ahead Of March Release From Magnet
It’s the week before Halloween. Char’s bedridden mother, Angela, has mysteriously gone missing. All that remains is her abandoned car parked in the middle of a field. When Angela returns home to their North Dublin estate the following evening without explanation, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look and sound the same, but Angela’s behavior has become increasingly erratic and frightening, as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force. As Halloween approaches, a night steeped in ancient Irish myth and legend, Char must unearth the dark secrets of her family in order to uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance and save her, even if it means potentially losing her forever.
That’s the wind up and the pitch for debut director Kate Dolan’s You Are Not My Mother, which has been enjoying a fruitful run at the festivals with its most recent screenings for Final Girls Berlin audiences this month.
Magnet Releasing snagged the pic late last year while rousing attendees at the Toronto International Film Festival, and will release in the U.S. in theaters and on demand on March 25. The film stars Hazel Doupe, Carolyn Bracken and Ingrid Cragie, and with Paul Reid, Jordanne Jones, Katie White and Jade Jordan.
