Tumultuous mother-daughter relationships are a horror staple. And believe me when I say there is a lot to mine there. With her film You Are Not My Mother, director Kate Dolan does just that.
Check out the full synopsis of the film:
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 But Angela’s behavior has become increasingly erratic and frightening, as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force.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.
In this exclusive clip, Char and her mother face off in a harrowing dance sequence. Full of tension, this moment is but a taste of the terror of You Are Not Mother. It also shows off the incredible performances by both Carolyn Bracken (Angela) and Hazel Doupe (Char). In his review of the film, Chad Collins called out Doupe and Bracken in particular, saying “both actors manag[e] to convey a breadth of emotion with the vagaries of their faces. “
