The Mother is towering, naked, and filthy; she seems like a ghoul, a mutant, something less than human.
She spends her days trawling the corridors, obsessively watching a video tape that teaches young mothers how to care for their newborn babies. At night, the Mother stalks the streets, searching for victims to drag back to her lair, where she “takes care” of them against their will, switching between intense violence and suffocating love; she knows no other way.
There is something uniquely horrifying about a monster who is genuinely attempting to express love, but their distorted understanding of it results in terrible suffering. The breastfeeding scene brings to mind, which sees the monster playfully throw a little girl into a lake, under the impression she would float; instead, she drowns.
The Mother also veers far enough away from reality to make her a great movie monster; she’s freakishly tall, unnaturally strong and durable, with hands resembling talons. Despite her beast-like appearance, her instincts prove more empathetic than both AJ and Frank.
AJ right?
