Let’s be real: pregnancy is already a biological body-horror movie. When cinema actually leans into that primal anxiety—think Rosemary’s Baby, It’s Alive, or Prevenge—the results are usually magnificent. Now, a new contender is entering the nursery, and it looks like an absolute doozy. The official teaser for the Turkish horror feature Mutter: The Diary of a Mother has dropped.

The film will celebrate its World Premiere on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the AMC 19th St. East 6 in the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival’s “Escape from Tribeca“ lineup. A Mother’s Love Knows No Bounds (or Species) Written and directed by filmmaker Alphan Eşeli, Mutter takes the phrase “unconditional love” to a deeply disturbing extreme.

Launched in the glorious, neon-soaked direct-to-video boom of 1988, this enduring occult franchise has quietly spen four decades racking up sequels at a pace that puts mainstream studio slashers to shame.

And because no legendary genre revival is complete without an iconic screen presence. The production has officially recruited the hardest-working man in Hollywood: Oscar nominee Eric Roberts. This Isn’t Your Video Rental Store’s Witchcraft For decades, the Witchcraft name was synonymous with delightfully campy, low-budget late-night cable staples. Heavy on the supernatural melodrama, light on the existential dread. But the team behind The Lanterne of Light is staging a massive coup. Director Carissa Pierson and writer/star Andrew Pierson (A Soldier’s Descent) are
