OTHER MOMMY WAS … MID🫠

Other Mommy Review

Stoney Tha Great reviews Other Mommy, a horror movie he had eagerly anticipated for its creepy doppelgänger premise and jump-scare potential. After letting his initial disappointment “marinate” overnight, he settles on a nuanced verdict: mid—not bad, but not great, earning a 6.5/10.

What Works

Stoney praises the film for putting a fresh spin on a familiar setup. Instead of leaving the parents in the dark while a child tries to convince them something is wrong, the parents know about “Other Mommy” from the start. He thinks this choice misses an opportunity to make the family dynamics creepier, but still appreciates the unusual entity, inventive scares, and trippy effects.

He also notes that the movie is a fairly faithful adaptation of Incidents Around the House, a book his mother read before they compared notes.

Themes and Overall Impression

In Stoney’s view, the film’s clearest theme is how parents should handle difficult truths with their children: be honest, but communicate carefully and preserve their innocence where possible. He likes that the movie doesn’t demand deep symbolic analysis—it’s more of a fun, straightforward horror watch.

Theater or Streaming?

Stoney’s main criticism is that nothing about the experience requires a theater. He jokes that it would work better as a relaxed Friday-night movie with pizza, drinks, and friends. Viewers can wait for it to arrive on streaming or VOD without missing much.

He’d still check out a sequel if it explored the entity’s backstory.

Lighter Moment

At the start, Stoney points out that he’s filming without a hat or do-rag because he’d just left the barber and wanted to show off his fresh cut.
