On November 10, "Alien Mother," a horror film about a girl who gets more attention from the monster in her closet than her parents, was released in digital rentals.
The story of the mother's cheap double becomes a starting point for a conversation about childhood loneliness, parental lies and the pressure of the image of "ideal" motherhood on a woman.
Screenwriter and film director Yekaterina Strubovitova examines why family scenes in a movie are scarier than a monster appearance.
