Critics Consensus

Despite a valiant turn from Jessica Chastain as the spectral embodiment of a smothering parent, Other Mommy proves too silly for its intermittently effective jump scares to add up to a spooky whole.

Audience Says

With startling moments dampened by shallow thematic explorations, Other Mommy is only a semi-scary experience that leaves much to be desired.

Other Mommy pinballs at breakneck speed between austere supernatural thriller, Raimi-esque OTT horror-comedy and earnest family drama, never quite sticking the landing on any of them.

Very cute — and Clark is an excellent shellshocked kid — but I’d have chosen more powerful thrills and bloody chaos over thematic niceties any day.

Other Mommy, though a mere 93 minutes, overstays its welcome.

2/5

Fairly generic horror film, with your standard tropes and gimmicks. The main flaw with the film sits on a narrative level, with little tension to the frights and a predictability to the final product.

Other Mommy is not an intelligent consideration of what it means to be a working mother in the modern world, nor is it emotionally intelligent as it considers what it looks like for a woman to have ambivalent feelings about motherhood.

It's not scary. It's boring. It fails to give its monsters any distinct personalities and wastes an actress capable of much more than smiling like a psychopath. [Full review in Spanish]
