Brandy battles a truly insidious mother-in-law in the intense trailer for A24 horror The Front Room.

Directed by Max and Sam Eggers (brothers of The Northman's Robert Eggers), the film sees Brandy in the lead as Belinda, going head-to-head with her sinister, ultra religious stepmother, Solange (Poor Things' Kathryn Hunter), whose unsettling behaviour and "commentary" is the stuff of nightmares.

Honestly, this looks like a hell of a living situation, with Solange pushing Belinda to the brink. Check out the teaser for another horrible look.

The Front Room hits cinemas Sept. 6.
