Nightbitch is a 2024 body horror movie about a woman who leaves her career to become a stay-at-home mom, only to experience a disturbing and surreal transformation as her domestic life spirals out of control.
Synopsis: In the monotony of suburban life, where dreams are often deferred, an artist who set aside her career to become a stay-at-home mom finds herself trapped in the relentless, consuming demands of raising a toddler. However, beneath the surface of her mundane routine, something primal stirs. Motherhood, she discovers, is not just a role but a potent, untamed force, awakening within her a wild, feral energy she never imagined. As the days blur together, strange, unsettling signs begin to emerge – signs that she’s not merely navigating the trials of parenthood, but is being drawn into an eerie transformation. She’s not just a mother; she’s evolving, becoming something more animalistic, more feral – something that feels disturbingly canine.
