A psychological horror about a Nazi-era heirloom doll that drives a suburban dad crazy.
SYNOPSIS
Mamochka (2026) is a psychological horror film directed by Vilan Trub. The story follows a suburban family whose life begins to unravel after inheriting an antique doll with ties to Nazi Germany.

REVIEWS
“This feature length film is truly so well executed. A great play on the overhyped doll-horror trope.” - @graeaehorror
​
"The nightmare sequences deserve particular mention. Rather than relying on jump scares or grotesque imagery, Trub constructs these moments as recursive loops." - Mother of Movies
​
"Stanley Trub, who played Mark and Jane's young son Brian, is almost too adorable for horror movies, and yet he played his part well enough to give me a chill." - Well Worth a Read

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Mamochka stands apart from typical horror by focusing less on scares and more on the slow unraveling of a man’s obsession, where the real threat isn’t the doll itself but the ideas and beliefs it awakens. Instead of following familiar genre rules, it blurs psychological drama and horror, leaving you unsure what’s real, what’s imagined, and what’s dangerously believed.
