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.

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.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing for a movie to leave you wanting more. Here, however, it seems to be a matter of misplaced priorities, as storytelling takes a backseat to cool imagery and wildly (one might even say nauseously) mobile camerawork.

B-

Other Mommy has some standout sequences, but it ultimately suffers from lack of narrative drive.

3/10

This film is lazy, relying on overactive editing and direction from Rob Savage to paste over how flawed and, frankly, dumb it is in its attempt to generate thrills and scares.

I really enjoyed it. Just scary enough without being too scary to enjoy. The non-fraud magic lady was disappointing though.

We were entertained! And there's actually a moral to the storyline, but we weren't scared... smile.
