Netflix has once again brought you a new psychological horror,&#039;Umma&#039;. Here is everything you need to know about it.

“Don’t turn into your mother”: Netflix Releases Psychological Thriller ‘Umma’ With an Ominous Message

Netflix is obsessed with psychological horrors and thrillers. The platform has
some of the best of this genre’s movies. Gerald’s Game, Shutter Island, Gone
Girl, and Secret Obsession, to name a few. And the streaming giant doesn’t seem
to stop. Well, Netflix is back again with a new psychological thriller, Umma,
starring Fivel Stewart and Sandra Oh. You might remember Fivel from Netflix’s
hit show Atypical, in which, Fivel played Casey’s love interest, Izzie. On the
other hand, Sandra Oh needs no introduction. Let’s see what the new movie is all
about.

WHAT STORY DOES ‘UMMA’ TELL?

It’s the story of a Korean immigrant woman, Amanda, who lives with her daughter
Chrissy, whom she calls “Chris,” on a small farm where they live. She is
homeschooling her daughter. Both mom and daughter raise chickens and bees on the
farm and sell honey. Amanda avoids using any advanced technology since she has
an “allergic response” to electricity and gadgets. When she finds out that
Chrissy wants to leave the farm to attend college, she becomes furious.
Moreover, Amanda is faced with memories of her harsh upbringing when she gets
the cremated remains of her recently deceased estranged mother, or Umma, in a
suitcase from her uncle, who is visiting her from Korea.
