Alex Call was replying to another user commenting how the game had the Sydney Sweeney ad, an ED ad with Megan Fox and the creepy Other Mommy trailer.

The fact they didn't call it Other Mother is enough reason not to see it

FWIW, I already assumed it was Coraline related as is until my wife corrected me.

I really dislike Coraline! My ten year-old niece who likes scary stuff has liked it since she was tiny...but it's just body horror to me, which is my least-favorite form of horror. (Plus, Coraline also reminds me too much of one recurring nightmare I have of being stuck in another dimension! Thanks, "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" lol.)

The fact that they didn't use the title from the book it's based on, Incidents Around the House, was enough of a red flag for me.  That title is evocative and interesting. Other Mommy is boring and weird.

Incidents Around the House is better than Other Mommy?

No offense, but the first title sounds REALLY BORING.

Agreed, Sounds like a satirical joke title you'd see in tropic thunder or rick and morty

And somehow Other Mommy sounds like a better title to you?

u/pargofan Los Angeles Dodgers • World Series Tr… 9h ago

Slightly.

It has an ominous tone. A child normally has one mother, so what does "other" Mommy mean?

Incidents around the House is clumsy me every morning trying to get ready for work. Ha!

u/jimihenderson New York Mets 9h ago

incidents around the house is starring martin freeman as himself as always, getting into various blunders around the house and not being able to explain to people how he found himself in those predicaments

I didn't know that was the original title. That is better.

In context of the movie, it would sound weird if the girl kept referring to her as “other mother” because for one, the rhyming would sound weird, and for two, what six year old girl refers to her mom as “mother”

Other mommy is just much more natural/less forced
