Mother of Flies
A grotesque and poignant dark fable of finding the true cost of a miracle.
In the latest uncanny tale from the masterfully macabre filmmaking clan the Adams family (Anomaly 2021’s Hellbender), a young woman with a dire illness and her bewildered father travel into the deep woods in a last ditch attempt to beseech a witch for a cure. Suffused with folkloric flavor, and with roots reaching deep into the place where humanity meets nature, this is an enigmatic fairytale about excavated truths and the painful transformations necessary to traverse the road and find hope.
