Starring Killing Eve‘s Sandra Oh, the Sam Raimi-produced horror film Umma has just released its official trailer ahead of release this month. Umma (the Korean word for “mother”) follows Amanda (Oh, Invincible) and her daughter (Fivel Stewart, The Haunting of Sharon Tate), who are living a tranquil and technology-free life of beekeeping on an isolated American farm. Yet the idyllic scene is soon disrupted when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea, and Amanda becomes haunted by the thought of turning into her mother.
“Her anger will grow as long as she remains in this box,” Amanda is helpfully warned by the man transporting her mother’s ashes… right before all hell breaks loose. Excitingly, the supernatural horror looks to borrow from Korea’s rich folklore, with the split-second trailer appearance of a Kumiho, a nine-tailed fox spirit that often feeds on human flesh.
Iris K. Kim writes and directs the film in her feature debut, whose cast also includes Dermot Mulroney, MeeWha Alana Lee, Odeya Rush, and Tom Yi.
Umma releases in cinemas March 18th. Check out the creepy trailer below:
