Blumhouse Productions has released the official trailer for Momo: Sub-Zero (2025) — a terrifying winter-set expansion of the viral horror mythology. Directed by Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), this standalone installment moves the legend of Momo into an isolated, snow-covered wilderness where cold isn’t the only thing hunting you.

❄️ Plot Overview
Set in a remote mountain village in northern Japan, the film follows Haruka Ito (played by Rinko Kikuchi), a grieving woman who isolates herself in a family-owned cabin after the tragic loss of her daughter. When strange text messages begin appearing on her disconnected phone — all ending with “Are you alone?” — her retreat turns into a chilling nightmare.
Soon, Haruka begins seeing a dancing, long-limbed figure just outside her frosted windows. Villagers whisper about Yuki-Onna, but her appearance matches something far more modern and sinister: Momo.
As temperatures plummet and snow traps her inside, Haruka must confront the haunted messages, the creeping figure, and the truth about what really followed her into the mountains.
