Director Rob Savage (The Boogeyman, Host) is adapting Bird Box author Josh Malerman’s horror novel Incidents Around the House, and the feature has found both its title and its young lead star.
Eight-year-old Arabella Olivia Clark (The Housemaid) is set to lead Other Mommy, Universal and Atomic Monster’s new supernatural horror film, Deadline reports.
The story follows “8-year-old Bela (Clark), who lives in a home strained by her parents’ troubled marriage, only to see her life further upended by a sinister entity she calls ‘Other Mommy.’ When this malevolent presence emerges from her closet, persistently asking, ‘Can I go inside your heart?’, Bela refuses.
