"It's not your mother up there… If we don't do something, we'll never get her back." Magnolia Pictures has revealed a new official US trailer for the Irish indie horror film titled You Are Not My Mother, marking the feature debut of filmmaker Kate Dolan. This premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last year, and recently played at the Gothenburg Film Festival. In a North Dublin housing estate Char's mum mysteriously goes missing. When she returns without any explanation, Char is determined to uncover the truth of her disappearance and unearth the dark secrets of her family. Obviously something is very wrong with her. The film stars Aoife Spratt, Ingrid Craigie, Jade Jordan, Paul Reid, and Hazel Doupe as Char. The film earned some great reviews at TIFF: "With fantastically committed performances and a deft management of tone, it's one of the better genre films of 2021." The dance scene in here this looks nuts! Check it out below.

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Kate Dolan's You Are Not My Mother, direct from YouTube:

It's the week before Halloween. Char's bedridden mother, Angela, has mysteriously gone missing. All that remains is her abandoned car in the middle of a field. When Angela returns home to their North Dublin estate without explanation, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look & sound the same, but Angela’s behavior has become increasingly erratic & frightening, as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force.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. You Are Not My Mother is both written & directed by Irish filmmaker Kate Dolan, making her feature debut after a number of short films previously. This premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last year. Magnolia will debut You Are Not My Mother in select US theaters + on VOD starting March 25th, 2022. Visit the official site.
