Brains & Blood, a horror film review podcast.

SPOILER WARNING: We keep the first few minutes spoiler-free, with our one-sentence verdicts and the film facts. When you hear the spoiler bell, we dissect the whole film, ending included. Haven't seen it? Stop at the bell, watch it, then come back.

In this episode, the Coroner and the Scream Queen open the closet on Other Mommy, Rob Savage's supernatural horror film with Jessica Chastain as a mother and the thing that wears her face. Is it a Brains & Blood classic, or a monster that should have stayed in the closet? We run it through the Brains & Blood scoring system: one score for the craft, one for the scream.
