‘You Are Not My Mother’ is a different kind of horror

Char (Hazel Doupe) is a studious but lonely schoolgirl who lives with her mother Angela (Carolyn Bracken) and grandmother Rita (Ingrid Craigie), with her uncle Aaron (Paul Reid) checking in every now and again. Angela has suffered from psychological issues over the years but one day, she disappears leaving nothing behind but her abandoned car. Fortunately, she isn’t missing for long. However, when she returns home, she starts to act particularly strangely. Char becomes increasingly worried about what’s happening with her mother, and experiences strange visions. She becomes convinced that her grandmother knows more than she’s letting on.
