Mother of Flies
When a young woman faces a deadly diagnosis, she seeks dark magic from a witch in the woods... but every cure has costs.
Why it matters
A slow-burning folk horror meditation on the price of salvation and the tangled roots of family.
- Builds on the Adams family’s signature blend of intimate supernatural drama and rural dread, expanding their indie folk horror lexicon.
- Zelda Adams delivers a quietly powerful performance as Mickey, whose frailty contrasts with the dark forces she courts.
- Practical effects and naturalistic settings conjure an unsettling atmosphere that feels both timeless and immediate.
- For fans of Hellbender’s witchcraft and familial tension, this one deepens the mythology without sacrificing emotional weight.
