Mark O'Brien on The Voices of our Mother
About this episode
Chris Maynard interviews Mark O'Brien about his film The Voices of our Mother, exploring themes of family and supernatural horror.
Welcome to the Following Films Podcast. I’m Chris Maynard. This Friday, a chilling new nightmare arrives on Shudder, and it explores the dark, complicated, and sometimes supernatural bonds of family. The film is TheVoices of our Mother, and it follows Harriet Scaflen after the death of her 95-year-old mother. When Harriet suffers an unexplainable health scare, her four estranged children return to the ancestral family home to care for her. But as old animosities and long-buried secrets come to light, they quickly realize their mother’s illness is anything but medical. There is a supernatural evil awoken inside her—one seeking revenge on her own children just to survive. Joining me today to discuss this tense, 93-minute psychological horror film is its writer, director, and co-star, Mark O'Brien. You know Mark from his incredible work in front of the camera on shows like Perry Mason , Your Honor , and Halt and Catch Fire , as well as his recent role opposite Simu Liu in Peacock's The Copenhagen Test . But he is also one of the most exciting filmmaking voices in modern horror. His debut feature, The Righteous , was ranked one of the top 100 horror movies of 2022 by Rotten Tomatoes…
