As families enjoy the summer vacation, Shudder introduces two thrillers in the “creepy-kid” subgenre – the home-invasion revenge thriller MOTHERLY and the psychological, mind games twister MARIONETTE. Both titles from The Horror Collective will be available on Shudder starting August 9.
MOTHERLY explores how far a single mother will go to protect her daughter from a vengeful couple who believe she is responsible for the death of their child.
Directed by Craig David Wallace who co-wrote with Ian Malone (Todd and the Book of Pure Evil). Starring Lora Burke, Kristen MacCulloch and Tessa Kozma. Produced by Avi Federgreen, Laura Tremblay, Federgreen Entertainment and Raven Banner.
