Hot on the heels of Netflix's new highly-anticipated series Carrie Soto Is Back comes word of another book-to-film adaptation! This time we'll see Jessica Chastain take the #1 spot in a horror movie that's inspired by author Josh Malerman's Incidents Around The House.
Released last summer, it's haunting tale surrounds a family's growing discomfort in their own home. One movie that feels eerily similar is 2009's animated Coraline, but we know Malerman's plot is more terrifying than that.

What is Incidents Around The House about?
Amazon
Any book that has author Grady Hendrix's (How to Sell a Haunted House) stamp of approval indicates readers are in for a bone-chilling ride. At the center of Incidents Around The House is young Bela and her growing realization there's something wrong with the house she lives in. Despite the love she believes to exist between her, her parents, and Grandma Ruth, someone or something called 'Other Mommy' has been frequently visiting her.
Wanting to exist inside the girl's young heart, 'Other Mommy' consistently pressures Bela to respond to a pertinent question. But each time Bela evades her, the figure grows increasingly agitated and begins causing things to go terribly wrong in the home.
Soon, Bela begins noticing other things that don't seem like they're merely the handiwork of 'Other Mommy' and it leaves her having to piece together the truth of the family she's always at through an innocent child's eyes.

Is a premiere date set for the Incidents Around The House film?
It pains us to say this, but we'll have to wait a little longer to share a premiere date. It's not clear if production has started yet, so it's likely the team behind the Incidents Around the House movie wants to wait until they have a concrete timeline in mind before sharing anything else.
