Get ready for an extraordinary cinematic experience with Nightbitch, Marielle Heller's new horrific comedy. Directed by the filmmaker behind The Extraordinary Mr. Rogers, this adaptation of Rachel Yoder 's novel of the same name promises to plunge viewers into a surreal world where motherhood mingles with strange and fantastic fears. Amy Adams, known for her roles in Once Upon a Time and American Bluff, plays a mother faced with a most unexpected situation: the fear of turning into a dog. Alongside Amy Adams are Scoot McNairy(Speak No Evil) and Mary Holland(Who Killed Maggie Moore(s)?).
In Nightbitch, Amy Adams plays a former artist who, after the birth of her son, decides to stay at home and devote herself to her new life as a stay-at-home mom. As time goes by, her daily routine becomes increasingly confusing, and she begins to fear that she's turning into a dog. This strange obsession gradually transforms her relationship with the world, with hallucinations, animal behavior and a gradual shift into a surreal world. With humor and anguish, the film explores the blurred boundaries between reality and madness, while tackling the complexity of the maternal experience.
Nightbitch will appeal to fans of daring tales combining dark humor and psychological horror. Fans of fantasy comedies and films that play with the boundary between reality and surrealism should appreciate this singular work. With its theme of motherhood and the upheaval it engenders, the film could also appeal to a wider audience, especially those sensitive to questions of parenthood and identity transformation. In the vein of films like Toni Erdmann or Grave, Nightbitch combines absurdity and dramatic tension, offering a unique experience somewhere between laughter and thrills.
Nightbitch, arriving on Disney+ by the end of the year, promises to be as intriguing as it is original. With an expected performance by Amy Adams in the lead role and direction by Marielle Heller, this horrific comedy promises to leave a lasting impression with its bold blend of fantasy, humor and horror. Halfway between social satire and psychological nightmare, Nightbitch explores the unsuspected facets of motherhood in a strange and captivating atmosphere.
