Mama Dearest

When Josh, a handsome young football star, is left with a broken leg after a car accident on a remote road between Florida and Georgia, he is rescued by a strange girl named Hillary, who hides him away in a hunting cabin on her family’s run-down property to recuperate. When he realizes that she is not going to let him go, he es-capes, only to encounter her mother, Angela, who is even more twisted than her daughter and is determined to keep Josh prisoner for her own…

Directed by Danny J. Boyle, Mama Dearest leans on a strong ensemble — Tricia Helfer, Brec Bassinger, Mitchell Edwards — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
