This isn’t just another horror flick; it’s a “twisted and original” (because everything else is just a copy, duh 🙄) Brazilian masterpiece (allegedly) from the mind of Cristian Ponce (yes, the guy who brought you History of the Occult, which you totally watched, right? Right?). A Mother’s Embrace, which probably has nothing to do with actual mothers or embraces, made its debut at Sitges Film Festival. It was so good, it then graced the UK with its presence at the Glasgow Film Festival (where, let’s be honest, everything gets acclaim because everyone’s just happy to be indoors). 🍿
So, in 1996, this brave firefighter (played by the one and only Marjorie Estiano, who we’re totally not being paid to promote 😉) gets a call. Turns out, some old folks’ home is about to become an impromptu swimming pool thanks to a lil’ storm in Rio. But plot twist! 😱 These aren’t your average bingo-loving grannies and grandpas. Oh no, they’re hiding something way more sinister than dentures in a glass. Our fiery heroine, now entangled in a web of geriatric secrets, must confront her past traumas while trying to escape the clutches of… well, you’ll have to watch and find out, won’t you? 😈
Mark your calendars! 🗓️ On November 10th, A Mother’s Embrace will be unleashed onto UK and Ireland digital platforms. Get ready to stream, download, and then complain about it on social media! 📱
