You literally become a different person when you give birth, according to a 2006 study from Scientific American. While research has evolved since then, further proving just how much women change when they have a baby, I don't think anyone has morphed into an animal — which is exactly what happens in Amy Adams' new movieNightbitch.

The movie, based on the book of the same name by Rachel Yoder, takes being a dog person to a freaky level when a new mother starts to develop increasingly canine characteristics. Here's everything you need to know about Nightbitch before it hits theaters.
