New 'mother!' Clip Promises You'll Never Answer The Door Again

If you weren’t suitably unnerved by the trailers for “mother!,” Darren Aronofsky offers an unsettling new clip from his upcoming film that promises “you’ll never answer the door again.”

Javier Bardem may or may not be right when he insists “they’re here to see me,” especially opposite co-star Jennifer Lawrence, who seems to find herself in increasingly bizarre – and creepy – circumstances in the rustic setting they now call home. But even if you’re desperate to avoid anything resembling a spoiler, the good thing about the footage is that it speeds by at such a blur that you’re unlikely to even know whether or not you’ve discovered something important.

Here’s the movie’s fairly vague synopsis:

A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. From filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), mother! stars Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer in this riveting psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.

Early reviews of the film, including The Playlist’s, have been fairly rhapsodic about Aronofsky’s surreal, claustrophobic odyssey, which focuses on Lawrence’s character trying to restore a country home destroyed by fire, and her poet husband’s disruptive welcoming of more and more strangers into a space that seems to be taking on a life of its own. “An incendiary religious allegory, a haunted-house horror, a psychological head trip so extreme it should carry a health warning and an apologia for crimes of the creative ego past and not yet committed,” writes Jessica Kiang. “It’s not just Aronofsky’s most bombastic, ludicrous and fabulous film, spiked with a kind of reckless, go-for-broke, leave-it-all-up-there-on-the-screen abandon, it is simply one of the most films ever.”

“mother!” opens in theaters on September 15 and before that you’ll be able to catch it at the Toronto International Film Festival if you’re lucky enough to attend.
