A Mother’s Recall Preview: When a New Home Turns Sinister

A Mothers Recall movie still

The house remembers what you forget.

Synopsis

A Mother’s Recall is a haunting psychological horror film that blends intimate family drama with slow-burning supernatural terror, exploring how grief, trauma, and buried memory can manifest as something far more sinister inside the home.

The story follows Genaro, a teenage orphan who is taken in by a new family, finally given a chance at stability and belonging, and at first, the home feels like a safe refuge - a place to start over.

But as Genaro settles in, strange disturbances begin to unfold within the house, with subtle shifts in atmosphere, unexplained sounds, and a growing sense of unease suggesting something is deeply wrong beneath the surface. 

About A Mother’s Recall

A Mother’s Recall is a psychological horror film from director and co-writer Mauro Iván Ojeda, following his critically noted feature La Funeraria.

The film continues Ojeda’s exploration of emotionally driven horror, focusing on atmosphere, psychological tension, and slow-building dread rather than traditional jump scares. 

It is produced and presented by Black Mandala, a company known for supporting international genre cinema.

Also known as Memoria de una Madre.
