The Eternal Daughter is an upcoming gothic mystery created by acclaimed filmmaker Joanna Hogg (The Souvenir). The movie centers on a mother-and-daughter duo as they check into a beautiful but rather spooky-looking hotel where the mother used to live as a child. It's not long, of course, before things begin to go bump in the night and long-buried family secrets are uncovered. Interestingly, Tilda Swinton will play both lead roles: the middle-aged daughter, and the elderly mother with a deep connection to the house-turned-hotel.

Swinton will play Julie and Rosalind Hart, a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother who is eager to revisit the vast house - which is now a hotel - she grew up in as a child. This casting choice is similar to that of X, a slasher horror released earlier in 2022, in which Mia Goth played both the young and upcoming star Maxine as well as the elderly and troubled Pearl. Goth received a huge amount of praise for her dual performance, as will no doubt be the case for Swinton. Joining Swinton in supporting roles are Joseph Mydell (Mrs Wilson) as Bill, Carly-Sophia Davies as the hotel receptionist, Zinnia Davies-Cooke, and Alfie Sankey-Green.

However, A24 (the movie's production and distribution company) recently trialed a virtual 'screening room' over Halloween for residents of the United States.

Watch The Eternal Daughter Trailer

A24 released a trailer for The Eternal Daughter on their official YouTube channel on November 1, 2022. In the opening shots, we see misty, rain-dampened forests and a long driveway leading up to a beautiful but intimidating building. For fans of gothic horror, it's clear this movie will be an aesthetically pleasing watch from the get-go. Additionally, we see mother and daughter Julie and Rosalind Hart as they arrive at the building in question - a hotel that was previously a family home. The two check in with a bored-looking receptionist, and it's not long before they're questioning whether they're the only people staying at the hotel when unexplainable things begin to happen. Julie is warned that she should not have brought her mother back to her former home, because "memories flood back in this place" - which leads us to speculate that something unpleasant happened in Rosalind's past. From watching the trailer, it's clear to see that The Eternal Daughter isn't just a typical haunted house story. Something more is at play here, and it'll be interesting to see what that "something" is.

Below is the official synopsis for The Eternal Daughter:

An artist and her elderly mother confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past. Featuring a towering, deeply moving performance by Tilda Swinton, acclaimed filmmaker Joanna Hogg’s beguiling latest film is a brilliant and captivating exploration of parental relationships and the things we leave behind.
