Everything goes awry for newly-pregnant Belinda (Brandy) after her mother-in-law (Kathryn Hunter) moves in. As the diabolical guest tries to get her claws on the child, Belinda is forced to draw a line in the sand.
"The Front Room is a horror film from A24 that, at times, borders on comedy – whether intentionally or not, that's up to the viewer's interpretation. The story follows a newly pregnant woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband's father dies, leaving a final request: that his mother move in with them. It's a film that generates fear and repulsion through the trope of the unpleasant mother-in-law, here taken to grotesque moral and physical extremes. It doesn’t always work, but if you enjoy hateful antagonists, you'll want to know that the villainous mother-in-law is played by Kathryn Hunter, best known today for the Andor series."
