Toby Poser and John Adams join us to discuss their latest film, Mother of Flies. Collectively we dissect the film and its themes of life and death in one amazing conversation with this brilliant independent filmmaking family. @shudder.com @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social youtu.be/Hsdc5Jddmvw

“Mother of Flies is the culmination of years of experimentation and refining their cinema-poetic voices and is simply extraordinary… an outstanding folk horror work of art.” @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social awfj.org/blog/2026/01...

Thank you, Richard! Waving from the snow to you....

Mother of Flies is out on Friday on @shudder.com. @danthemcmahon.bsky.social had the chance to sit down with the @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social to discuss the film, witchcraft, nature, and more! Give it a listen and make sure to check out the film! gatecrashers.fan/2026/01/21/m...

Loved talking with Matthew about The Omen!

Loved talking to @lovehorrorqueen.bsky.social Kristie Felice for Horror Movie Blog! Great q's; great blog!!

Thank you, Anton. Being reviewed by you is such a treat and gift, as you are such a fixture in our cinema education and recreation!!

The Adams Family are among the most unique voices in horror. I'll watch anything they do, and MOTHER OF FLIES, which drops on @shudder.com today, is their best yet. My review for VV. vaguevisages.com/2026/01/21/m... @vaguevisages.bsky.social @promotehorror.bsky.social @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social

📽️🩸 Now watching MOTHER OF FLIES (Shudder) Thanks @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social for providing me with some witchy quality entertainment on this grim and stormy day 🖤

Gorgeously shot, filled with striking imagery & words, MOTHER OF FLIES is a beautifully poetic, wondrously witchy film. @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social has once again conjured up an imaginative, unique piece of magic with their latest film. It's a dark song, a dream, a fever, a feeling, & it's glorious.

Always an honor and illuminating to talk to Michelle Swope and Bloody Disgusting.

If you have Shudder, don't miss @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social's new film MOTHER OF FLIES. If you don't have Shudder, get it so you can watch this movie! Here's my review: aisleseat.com/mother-of-fl... #filmsky

A Stunning Dark Fairy Tale - popheist.com/fantasia-fes... Fantasia Fest Review: ‘Mother of Flies’ Is a Stunning Dark Fairy Tale - popheist.com/fantasia-fes... Thank you, @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com, for such an elegant review, rooted itself in some gorgeous existentialist gold. 🖤

Amazing!!! Huge congratulations to the Adams Family, I cannot wait to see this!

@fantasiafestival.com @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social

The morning after our world premiere at @fantasiafestival.com, our first thought is always "What does Anton Bitel think and what can we absorb from his words to learn and talk about our own film?!" Thank you, Anton, for being a deep, dark woodland full of mystery and shafts of word-light yourself!

Second Fantasia review for today is for MOTHER OF FLIES, the latest film from @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social It's definitely one for the HELLBENDER crowd thehollywoodnews.com/2025/07/25/m...

#Fantasia2025: MOTHER OF FLIES is one gnarly beast. Digs up some emotions that are as raw as the gory, wild forces of nature onscreen. Like its central death worker, @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social ask you to trust their process — and it pays off in deliciously wicked ways. Huge fan. Full review to come!

Thank you, Anton Bitel!

Mother of Flies was honored with 2 Cheval Noir Awards at @fantasiafestival.com - Best Film and Best Score! What an honor for us! Thank you, Fantasia! @yellowveilpictures.bsky.social and @shudder.com in 2026!

The Adams Family are no strangers to horror fans (incl. Shudder subscribers, who can watch HELLBENDER, THE DEEPER YOU DIG, and HELL HOLE). From acting and directing, plus composing music, it's a true family dynamic, which is why they came together to share their Favorite Frights with @shudder.com!
