Umma

 

 (youtube.com)

UMMA-2022-Amanda (Sandra Oh), a Korean beekeeper living in the US with her American born daughter, Chrissy (Fivel Stewart) is afraid of electricity. Her honey making business is booming but then her stinky uncle comes with news that her estranged mom has died and he's brought her remains from Korea. After she tells him to get lost, she starts to hear screaming and sees weird visions, many of them connected to her dead mom. When her daughter shows an interest in going to college, it seems Amanda is going off the deep end but later it's clear mom is possessing her. Dermot Mulroney is a helpful neighbor. 

Good acting but story is unoriginal. Sam Raimi was one of the producers. Written and directed by Iris K. Shim.

Thanks for reading!
