The official teaser for ‘Mutter: The Diary of a Mother’ has been released, a pregnancy horror film with monstrous potential.
Though they aren’t always handled well, I love a good pregnancy horror film. It’s Alive, Prevenge, Rosemary’s Baby…movies that depict the nightmare that having a child can be. Set to have its world premiere at Tribeca this June, the official teaser for Turkish horror film, Mutter: The Diary of a Mother, has been released, and it looks like a doozy.
In it, we see all sorts of imagery depicting creature feature pregnancy body horror, from bursts of blood to mutilated bodies, all with a dash of psychological terror that features the main protagonist slipping into a world of monstrousness.
Under traumatic circumstances, Gül gives birth to her first child: an inhuman creature. What’s a single mother to do? Protect her newborn, albeit alien-like, offspring by any means necessary, of course.
Hazar Ergüçlü and Guven Kirac star.
Alphan Eşeli wrote and directed the film.
Mutter: The Diary of a Mother is set to have its world premiere on Saturday, June 6th at the AMC 19th St. East 6 as part of Tribeca’s “Escape from Tribeca” lineup. Additional screenings on Sunday and Tuesday to follow.
