Bad news for the craziest movie expected this year!

Get ready for a cinematic journey as weird as it is daring with Mariel Heller’s Nightbitch, finally coming to Disney+ before the end of the year.

Directed by six-time Academy Award nominee Amy Adams, this feature film combines black comedy and horror in a story that promises to leave an impression. This announcement is likely to surprise moviegoers who have been waiting for this intriguing work in theaters, but which does not cause impatience.

An original work that combines horror and social satire

Adapted from Rachel Yoder’s novel, Nightbitch explores the angst and strangeness of motherhood through the lens of fantasy. The film follows a stay-at-home mom, played by Amy Adams, who begins to believe she is turning into a dog. Isolated in suburban America and faced with the exhausting reality of the role of mother, she gradually embraces this metamorphosis, a symbol of the hidden power and wildness of motherhood.

At the helm of this unusual project, Mariel Heller – critically acclaimed director for her previous films such as The Forgers of Manhattan or The Extraordinary Mr. Rogers with Tom Hanks – brings here a touch that is at once obscene and terrifying.

Adapting Yoder’s work, she offers an original look at the plight of women, parenthood, and the inner transformation it can lead to. This collaboration between Heller and Adams, produced by Searchlight Pictures, promises to be one of the most original cinematic events of the year.

Amy Adams, Never Where You Expect Her

Casting Amy Adams in the lead role only adds to the appeal of the film. The actor, who is recognized for his ability to portray deep and complex characters, seems to be torn between absurdity and realism for this role. His performance promises to be as haunting as it is disturbing, in a film that promises to be alien to the current cinematic landscape.

With a planned release on Disney+ before the end of the year, Nightbitch is a must-see that you don’t want to miss. Between dark humor, psychological horror and social reflection, we await a unique experience that should challenge all our preconceived ideas about motherhood!
