Matriarch on Hulu: Plot, Trailer, and More Details
On September 14, 2022, Hulu published the official trailer for the film, which gives a look inside Laura’s incredibly hectic existence. Laura is shown on the phone informing her mother that she overdosed, after which her mother invites her to her home. The second part of the video shows how Laura’s life turns for the worst once she visits her mother in a remote English village.
Overall, the trailer is unrelenting, with a dismal tone that lovers of psychological thrillers and horror will undoubtedly like. According to Hulu Press, the official summary of the film is as follows:
“After a near-fatal overdose, Laura flees the high-stakes pressures of her advertising industry to return to her origins. Laura accepts her estranged mother’s invitation home, hoping that the time away in the remote English town would help soothe the demons racing inside her.
According to the description,
“She quickly realizes that the town’s residents are all hiding an unspeakably awful secret – a mystery that includes not just her mother but also her own dreadful fate.”
Viewers should expect a disturbing thriller that goes deep into the darkest parts of the human psyche based on the teaser and description. Fans of Goodnight Mommy, Conjuring, and classics like The Exorcist and The Omen should definitely see this one.
