Published

Pinkvilla reports that director Rob Savage joked that Other Mommy contains “like 50” jump scares while arguing that effective jolts need not follow a simple quiet-then-loud formula. The useful takeaway is his emphasis on psychological dread and uncertainty, not a verified count of scares.

The quote in context

Asked how many jump scares viewers should expect, Savage answered “like 50” and immediately qualified that the total depends on what counts as a jump scare. It reads as promotional shorthand, not a documented scene count.

The intended mood

Savage says the film uses more than the familiar quiet-quiet-loud pattern. The report frames Other Mommy around dread, paranoia and the protagonist's uncertainty about whom and what she can trust.

What not to claim

The source supports Savage's creative intention and the presence of Jessica Chastain, but not an independently verified number of scares or an audience verdict. Those remain marketing language and pre-release expectation.

Update note: Original source-read film briefing contextualizing a promotional quote rather than treating it as a measured statistic.
