Horror Movie Review! Mother!

Tonight on HTGS reviews, we break down the movie Mother!

**Spoilers!**

Mother! (2017) is a psychological horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky. It follows a young woman (Jennifer Lawrence) living in a secluded house with her poet husband (Javier Bardem). Their tranquil life is disrupted when uninvited guests (Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer) arrive, bringing chaos and tension. As more strangers invade their home, the woman's reality unravels, revealing a surreal, allegorical tale exploring themes of creation, destruction, and humanity's relationship with nature. The film is intense, symbolic, and open to interpretation, often seen as a commentary on environmental and biblical narratives.

  • EP 204 - The Ghosts of St. Charles | St. Charles, IL

    01:09:29|
    St. Charles, Illinois sits on the Fox River forty miles west of Chicago, and for a town its size, it carries a remarkable amount of darkness. Two buildings have defined it for nearly a hundred years. Something still lurks on the sixth floor of the Hotel Baker, and it hasn't stopped terrifying guests. And at the Arcada Theatre, the hauntings have scared patrons and performers alike — because at the Arcada, the shows never quite end.Become a supporter on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/hometownghoststoriesMusic by Jesse Wilkins and Seth WilkinsNEW ALBUM OUT NOW! Hometown Ghost Stories: The Music (Volume 2)https://open.spotify.com/album/3aVN2YCP13j3NjZ1ViCZ7Q?si=1Cs9iLVwTlyrtSXmpKUtAQMERCH: https://hometownghoststories.com

  • Horror Movie Review! Obsession (2026)

    41:59|
    This week on HTGS Reviews, Dave and Rob review the latest horror movie Obsession! This is a spoiler filled review ... and the movie is brand new, so you have been warned! The film follows an awkward, hopeless romantic named Bear (Michael Johnston) who has an unspoken crush on his coworker, Nikki (Inde Navarrette). Instead of asking her out, Bear buys a novelty "One Wish Willow" at a charm shop and snaps it, wishing that Nikki would love him more than anyone on Earth. The wish works, but it turns Nikki's sweet demeanor into a terrifying, possessive, and obsessive state.
