Mutter: The Diary of a Mother

A mother’s love knows no bound in this maternal horror drama with a powerful central performance.

When Gül gives birth to a child that resembles an otherworldly creature rather than a human baby, her husband leaves her. Alone and penniless, she will do everything in her power to care for her child, no matter what other people think. Mixing body horror and social drama, Mutter: The Diary of a Mother is an affecting exploration of motherhood and societal pressure that asks us what we should truly qualify as monstrous.

"Revulsion and maternal instincts propel Mutter: The Diary of a Mother forward, rendering it one of the year’s most striking and heartbreaking horror movies." — Chad Collins, Dread Central
