Mother of Flies (2025)

Author: Old Mother Hubbard

“Mother of Flies” (2025) is a film made by the Adams Family production team. They consist of John Adams, Toby Poser, Zelda Adams and Lulu Adams. They star in, produce, direct, edit and even make the musical scores for all their films. The Adams Family are also responsible for a great film entitled “The Deeper You Dig” (2019) as well as some other highly praised films.

“Mother of Flies” is about a young girl named Mickey (Zelda Adams) suffering from terminal cancer who seeks the help from a witch who she envisioned in a dream. Solveig the witch (Toby Poser) is super creepy and scary. Mickey’s skeptical dad Jake (John Adams) accompanies Mickey to the witches’ house which is built on tree roots in the middle of the woods. All of the performances are just great from the actors. Toby Poser plays the part of a witch so well that it wouldn’t surprise me if she really was a witch IRL. The film is quite bizarre in spots, gross at times, spooky and unsettling. The Adams Family are very good at making weird, memorable films. 4 stars. Recommend.
