“Mother, May I?” directed by Laurence Vannicelli deviates from Lovecraftian elements, but eerie undertones arise from Emmet and Anya’s harrowing histories. An inherited house strains their bond, laying bare their psychological turmoil. The film dances between the notions of possession and inner demons, shunning overt horror. The disquieting portrayals by Kyle Gallner and Holland Roden carry the film’s unsettling mood. Set predominantly within the house, the confined setting amplifies tension, leading to an ending that leaves viewers perturbed. Visit myflixer for more!
