Blumhouse Productions has just dropped the chilling teaser trailer for its upcoming psychological horror film MOM, set to release in October 2025.

The Premise

After losing her 7-year-old son in a tragic accident, Claire Morris (Rebecca Hall) isolates herself in a remote farmhouse where she was raised. But when she begins hearing her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s voice at night and finds his old toys moving on their own, Claire is convinced that her son is trying to return.

What follows is a terrifying unraveling of reality, as a presence begins to stalk her — one that may be her own mother, long dead, and bound to the house by a generational curse tied to motherhood and possession.

Teaser Trailer Highlights

The 50-second teaser opens with home-video footage of a 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day party — static glitches and then silence. Cut to Claire walking through the house in total darkness, holding a candle. Whispers echo: “Mommy… let me in.”

• A quick flash of a pale, smiling face behind Claire in the mirror

• A wooden rocking chair moving on its own

• A blood-streaked drawing of a mother holding hands with a figure made of black scribbles

• A shadow crawling across the ceiling in reverse

• And the final shot: Claire screaming as the walls close in, literally folding the house around her

Tone & Style

Mom is being described as a blend of Hereditary, The Babadook, and Rosemary’s Baby — a slow psychological breakdown with supernatural undertones. The visuals are cold, claustrophobic, and minimalistic, while the score (by Ben Lovett) relies on unsettling ambient sound and reversed lullabies.

Release & Expectations

The film is scheduled to hit theaters on October 17, 2025, right in the peak of Halloween season. It is already being hailed as Blumhouse’s most “emotionally devastating and terrifying” project to date.

Director Jennifer Kent said in a statement: “Motherhood is powerful. It creates life — but in this story, it takes it back.”
