It's a spine-chilling thriller about a mother who sacrifices herself to a flesh-eating monster to protect her child, but it turns out, Little Bites – produced by mother-son duo Cher and Chaz Bono – is actually a reflection the pop legend's real-life struggles. The horror movie serves as a dark metaphor for the lengths a mother would go to protect her children – something that is all too familiar for mom-of-two Cher.

While her role in the film project underscores her commitment to supporting her children's endeavors, the premise itself seems to eerily mirror the recent challenges she is facing with her troubled younger son Elijah Blue Allman, DailyMail.com can reveal. 'It's an absolute bizarre film, but in a good way. Cher adores Chaz and knew how important this was for him so she jumped onboard,' a family friend told DailyMail.com.

'It's supposed to be a metaphor for how far a mother will go to save her children, which is ironic considering the lengths Cher has gone to help Elijah,' the insider added. The pop star was famously locked in a bitter legal battle last year with Allman, 48, who had been fighting her attempts to place him in a conservatorship due to his substance abuse issues. Cher teamed up with son Chaz Bono, 55, to produce spine-chilling horror flick 'Little Bites' whichwill stream this month.

The movie eerily mirrors her recent battle with younger son Elijah Blue Allman, who wis snapped with his wife Marieangela 'Queeny' King outside the Chateau Marmont in LA in mid January. As DailyMail.com reported at the time, Cher, 78, took drastic measures to save her son after he collapsed at LA's famed Chateau Marmont Hotel in September 2023. The protracted court battle came to an end about 12 months later when the two finally reached an agreement and Cher withdrew her bid for a conservatorship at Los Angeles Superior Court.

And now, in a hopeful latest twist in the saga, sources reveal Elijah's relationship with his mother has improved since then, along with his health. 'Their relationship is better than before, not great, but Cher said she would do anything for her kids,' the insider said. 'She knows she wasn't the best parent when Elijah was a boy, but is doing her best to make it up to him.'. The musician, whose father was the late Greg Allman, has also been spotted in public with wife Marieangela 'Queeny' King for the first time in months.

DailyMail.com has learned Allman, 48, and his wife, relocated to the hotel after devastating wildfires broke out in LA earlier this month. He was snapped smoking a cigarette outside during the rare sighting. According to a family friend, Allman has been sober 'for quite some time' and his marriage to Queeny King, pictured in exclusive DailyMail.com photos, has 'never been better'. Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the pair parked in King's black Prius out front of  the Chateau in mid January.

Elijah has endured rocky times in his marriage as well as with his mother in recent years. He had been separated from his wife, the lead singer of the band KING, and living at the hotel for nearly six months when he was found strung out on drugs in September 2023. But according to the family friend, the Deadsy frontman has stayed on the straight and narrow since seeking help and his marriage is as strong as ever.

'Elijah has been sober now for quite some time, focusing on his recovery and mental health and Queeny has been busy promoting her upcoming film, The Spiritualization of Jeff Boyd. She has a song in it called Freak,' the insider said. 'Their relationship has never been better. Despite all their ups and downs, they have come out the other end with a greater love and appreciation for each other. Little Bites follows a mother played by Krsy Fox who allows herself to be consumed by a flesh-eating monster to protect her daughter. The film serves as a dark metaphor for the lengths a mother would go to protect her children – something that is all too familiar for mom-of-two Cher.

Cher demonstrated her commitment to support her children when she teamed up with her elder son on his film project. Chaz is Cher's only child with late ex-husband Sonny Bono. 'As soon as the fires erupted, they relocated to their home away from home the Chateau Marmont where they've been staying for the two weeks.'. Never a fan of her daughter-in-law, Cher had claimed in court documents that Queeny wasn't equipped to be her son's conservator because 'their tumultuous relationship has been marked by a cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises,' which the 37-year-old strongly denied.

Cher was not invited to the couple's 2013 wedding, with Elijah later revealing his mother didn't even acknowledge their engagement. In 2020, the pair separated with Allman filing for divorce in 2021 only to dismiss the divorce proceedings in 2024. In a divorce court filing from December 5, 2022, Queeny had accused Cher of hiring four men to kidnap Allman from a hotel in New York in a desperate attempt to stop them from reconciling.
