As someone who’s mum has had multiple psychotic episodes and acted similarly to how she did early on in the film (forgetting things, saying things that didn’t make sense) this really scared me.

[WeyounSix]

This really makes me wonder if short-form horror is the way to go. This just feels so much like a classic bedtime/campfire horror story come to life. But I feel like often horror movies can feel a bit weak because there is an hour of tension followed by a slight payoff. This shorter length of time made it feel much more intense and far less drawn out, and I was much more immersed than I normally am in horror movies. I love this

I was very impressed with "mom." The actress did a really good job.

[TheAdeybob]

The mom's face when she switched was genuinely scary, and the story itself is fresh and original.
This film has all the hallmarks of having been created by a sharp mind from start to finish - and it would be good to see what the visionary behind it could do with a full team, some good advice, and a decent budget,

It's such a sad thing to see a loved one suffer from Alzheimer's or dementia.

Plot twist: that guy is a homeless dude trying to find a place during corona times.. he tries to trick an elderly woman to move in as a son

Kathryn is an amazing actor ; has creepiness for days while conversely portraying the sweet, fragile and confused Mother. Nice touch with the subtle face alteration during the knife wielding scene Michael.

[Regless]

cripes that bit with her laughing in the dark and just the tiniest bit of light in her eyes. I don't care how old she is she scares the absolute shit out of me.

[Foxy-veoh]

You see, this is a great short horror example. Short horror if done correctly has the same scare factor of a full length horror but in a much shorter time. You should be proud of this it's an amazing short horror

[bensvedra]

You're safe down here in the comments, friend.
Here, have some 🥛🍪🍪🍪...

[VirgoCali]

The dementia and alzheimer's she is suffering from is the real horror. I have seen people suffer severely from these diseases and it's truly heartbreaking

[PilloTheStar]

Everyone else: here from coryxkenshin

Me: was looking for butterfly related videos for a project and am now creeped out beyond belief

[JoSchmo]

I found it ironic that she remembers all the things she lost or forgot
