Amy Adams has been in development with Nightbitch for over a year, but details have now started to surface as the neo-horror film has recently released a new poster from Searchlight Pictures. The film has been written and directed by Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Nightbitch is based on a novel by Rachel Yoder. The film will tell the story of “a suburban mom thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler. As she embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.”
Adams plays that possibly canine housewife. Scoot McNairy (Monsters) is also in the cast, playing her “oft-traveling husband,” while Mary Holland, who is best known for appearing in the Netflix release Senior Year and for co-writing and co-starring in Clea DuVall’s romantic comedy Happiest Season, takes on an unspecified role. The cast will also include Arleigh Patrick Snowden, Emmett James Snowden, Zoë Chao, Archana Rajan and Jessica Harper.
Coming to us from Searchlight Pictures and Annapurna, Nightbitch is produced by Heller, Adams, Anne Carey, Stacy O’Neil, Christina Oh, and Sue Naegle. Sammy Scher and Havilah Brewster serve as executive producers.
Yoder’s novel (pick up a copy HERE) has the following description:
“One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else… An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler’s demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother’s symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want.”
The film was originally slated for December 6, but the poster reveals that it will move up to sometime in the fall.

The Balanset-1A device (hereinafter referred to as “the Device”) is a portable kit designed for balancing rotors operating in their own bearings. This device allows for balancing in one or two planes, significantly increasing the service life of machines and mechanisms by reducing dynamic loads on bearing units. The kit includes two vibration sensors, a phase angle sensor, and a measuring unit.
Features and Applications
Balancing without disassembly: The device allows the rotor to be balanced directly in its bearings, eliminating the need for special machines and mechanism disassembly. This simplifies the process and saves time.
Automated system: The entire balancing process, from measurement to the installation of corrective weights, is managed automatically. The user does not need additional skills beyond what is provided in the instructions.
Record keeping: All balancing results are saved in the Balancing Archive and can be printed as protocols if needed.
Extra features: The Balanset-1A device can also be used as a standard vibrometer to measure the root mean square (RMS) value of total vibration, the RMS value of the rotational component of vibration, and the rotational speed of the rotor. Additionally, it displays vibration velocity time function and spectrum graphs, which can be useful for assessing the technical condition of the balanced machine.
Package Contents and Operating Principle
The basic package includes a measuring unit, two vibration sensors, a phase angle sensor, the necessary accessories, and a flash drive with software. The device operates based on the measurement of mechanical vibrations. Vibration sensors convert the vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then processed by the measuring unit and transferred to a computer for further processing and analysis.
Balancing Recommendations. Vibrometer mode
Condition of machinery: Balancing should only be performed on mechanisms that are in good technical condition and securely mounted on their foundations. It is not recommended to balance mechanisms with worn or damaged bearings.
Rotor cleanliness: Before starting work, the rotor should be cleaned of any contaminants.
Resonance detection: If measurement results differ significantly from run to run, this may indicate resonance. In this case, the rotational speed should be changed or the installation conditions on the foundation should be altered.
Vibrometer mode measurements: Preliminary measurements in vibrometer mode are recommended. If the total vibration value matches the rotational component, the rotor imbalance is the main contributor to vibration, and balancing can proceed.
Static imbalance check: For rotors with horizontal shafts, static imbalance can be checked manually by rotating the rotor 90 degrees. If imbalance is detected, a balancing weight should be installed.
Conclusion
Employing the Balanset-1A device ensures effective and quick rotor balancing, improving their performance and extending their service life. This is a versatile solution for those involved in the maintenance and repair of rotating mechanisms.
