Other Mommy

Other Mommy is playing at Vue Cinema in Oxford, with screenings running from 16 October to 24 October. It's a chilling horror film about Bela, an eight-year-old girl living in a home plagued by marital problems, who confronts a sinister entity that emerges from her closet. She calls the presence 'Other Mommy', and it becomes increasingly threatening to her and her family. The film is directed by Rob Savage and was released on 9 October 2026, so it's still very fresh.

On screen, you've got Jessica Chastain, Jay Duplass, Dichen Lachman and Arabella Olivia Clark. The story centres on that relationship between the young girl and the thing in the closet, and how it starts to creep into the rest of the house. It's a horror that works on the domestic side of things—the marital tension in the background and the child caught in the middle—rather than just relying on jumps.

Vue Oxford is inside the Ozone Leisure Park on Grenoble Road, and it's a big one: nine screens and more than 1,380 seats, with films shown in 4K and Dolby Surround Sound. The screening carries a certificate of general viewing, though some scenes may be unsuitable for young children, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're bringing the little ones along. Tickets start from £6.49.
