Other Mommy, the new horror film in which Jessica Chastain plays both a good mommy and a scary mommy, has a new trailer courtesy of distributor Universal Pictures. For a clip that runs thirty seconds shorter than the first freaky trailer, there’s still plenty of jolts on offer, with the film’s marketing leaning into the surreality of Chastain’s oscillation from being a very pretty, very nice mommy one instant to a spiritually empty and presumably hostile mommy the next. (It also boasts its Blumhouse-Atomic Monster pedigree, in hopes that this replicates the box office success of Obsession and Backrooms.) Chastain stars as mommy Ursula and her sinister doppelgänger; Arabella Olivia Clark plays Bella, the little girl haunted by this not-so-imaginary other mommy; and Jay Duplass plays Ursula’s husband, Russ, who clearly got the short shrift in the fairy-tale names department.
