When a couple’s newborn son is abducted, the desperate mother discovers a way to bring him back. The problem is that, once she returns home with the baby, her husband begins to suspect that the child is not really the son they lost. As doubt takes a significant seat on the table, the couple is forced to question their own memories, desires, and what they are willing to accept in order to get their family back. Directed by Caleb Phillips and starring Jessica Rothe (“Happy Death Day”), Charlie Barnett and Yul Vazquez, “Imposters” blends psychological horror, science fiction and mystery into a cautionary tale about being careful about what you wish for, where motherhood can be both an instinct and a trap. Premiered at SXSW 2026, it is a slow-burn thriller that keeps its surprises until the very end.
