SONY Pictures’ Stage 6 Films has acquired worldwide rights to Raimi Productions and Starlight Media’s supernatural horror film “Umma,” starring Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh, who also serves as executive producer.

Iris K. Shim wrote the screenplay and will make her feature film directing debut. Fivel Stewart, Dermot Mulroney, Odeya Rush, MeeWha Alana Lee and Tom Yi also have joined the cast.

“Umma,” which is the Korean word for “mother,” follows Amanda (Oh) and her daughter living a quiet life on an American farm, but when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from South Korea, Amanda becomes haunted by the fear of turning into her own mother.

The pic is the first project produced by Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi of Raimi Productions through their development deal with Starlight Media. Starlight CEO Peter Luo is serving as executive producer and Starlight Media is co-financing the film with Stage 6 Films.

Matt Black is executive-producing alongside Catchlight Studios’ Jeanette Volturno and Marcei Brown. Andre Ovredal is also serving as executive producer. Eric Charles and Elizabeth Grave are overseeing for Stage 6 Films.

Oh stars in BBC America’s critically acclaimed smash “Killing Eve,” for which she won a historic Golden Globe award, Screen Actors Guild award and three Emmy nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Oh won Golden Globe and SAG awards for her role as Cristina Yang on the long-running ABC series “Grey’s Anatomy,” and she received five Emmy noms.

Shim’s first film, “The House of Suh,” premiered at the Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival and went on to win awards at many festivals.(SD-Agencies)
