Mommy, I Don't Want To

Mommy, I Don't Want To

Synopsis

1975. Jay, an eighteen year old who appears ordinary but harbours a dangerous, uncontrollable compulsion. By night, he prowls quiet suburban neighbourhoods, driven by urges he neither fully understands nor can suppress. What begins as trespassing and voyeurism slowly escalates into a disturbing pattern of crimes that terrorise the community.
Raised in isolation with a distant military father and an overwhelmed mother, Jay’s neglected childhood fuels his deviance. As a teenager, his thrill-seeking manifests in strange burglaries - not for theft, but for control. Soon, reports of sexual assaults surface, signalling that Jay has crossed a point of no return.
Detectives Shoore and Remming lead the hunt for the elusive “Marcavillian Hunter,” but Jay adapts quickly, evading capture despite near-misses and a chance encounter that goes unnoticed. Hoping to escape his impulses, Jay joins the military - only to return more dangerous than before. His crimes culminate in a calculated provocation and a tragic confrontation that leaves the case unresolved.
Decades later, Jay lives free, convinced he has outrun his past. But unseen eyes still watch.
A chilling psychological crime drama about obsession, evasion, and the banality of evil.

Darla arrives home early hoping to surprise her fiancé Richard; only to catch him butt-naked, clad in a VR headset, with a fleshlight pumping on his crotch, making sweet digital-love to whoever is on the receiving end of the virtual exchange. Distraught, embarrassed and heartbroken; their perfect life begins to crumble when Darla discovers that the recipient of the internet-affair turns out to be an AI anthropomorphic cat avatar in a 3-D sex-dungeon!

Cue a series of increasingly awkward events, as Richard and Darla try to keep up appearances, hashing it out behind the scenes, as the shame and secrets threaten to spill over to the in-laws; culminating in a first dance you’ll never forget and an interesting choice in hand cream.
