Supernatural thriller Monstrous, which screened at FrightFest Glasgow, starring Christina Ricci and directed by Chris Sivertson (All Cheerleaders Die) will be released in the UK for digital download on Monday, July 11th.

The film’s synopsis is:

A terrifying new horror awaits Laura (Christina Ricci) and her seven-year-old son Cody (Santini Barnard) when they flee her abusive ex-husband and try to settle into a new life in an idyllic and remote lakeside farmhouse. Still traumatised, their physical and mental well-being are pushed to the limit as their fragile existence is threatened by something monstrous in the lake….

Director Chris Sivertson describes his film as “A mashup – supernatural horror, ‘50s period piece, family drama, creature feature, psychological thriller – but above all it’s a character study”. He adds:“It’s impossible to talk about Monstrous without talking about the sublime Christina Ricci. A phenomenal performer, she carries the movie on her shoulders every step of the way. She evokes deep empathy for a single mother who’s trying to keep her world from crumbling to pieces”.

Monstrous stars Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets), Colleen Camp (Sliver), Santino Bernard (Penny Dreadful: City of Angels), Don Baldaramos (Suburbicon), and Nick Vallelonga (Green Book)
