Cleopatra Entertainment announces the Dec 15 release of A Mother's Recall on digital video.
A Mother's Recall
Directed and co-written by Mauro Iván Ojeda, the film blends psychological dread with supernatural menace, building an atmospheric and immersive horror experience. The digital-only release is being released in both English- and Spanish-language editions.
Following the international reception of Ojeda's previous feature La Funeraria (2020) - available on Amazon Prime and widely celebrated for its unique tone - this project pushes the genre further, combining character-driven storytelling with a chilling, slow-burn aesthetic. The film draws strength from its deeply unsettling narrative structure and richly realized characters. Its commercial appeal lies in its resonance with fans of elevated horror - a genre that balances emotional depth with potent scares - while its distinctive voice and original thematic focus make it stand out in the current horror landscape.
A married couple adopts Genaro, and when the boy arrives at his new home he meets his siblings Nuria and Samuel. As the days go by, Genaro suspects that his new family is suffering from a paranormal siege that keeps them in a state of anguish and gloom. Nuria is a teenager who learns the strange and terrifying secrets of her family and manages to forge a special bond with Genaro. Both are united by an evil presence that brings with it a series of sinister events.
