As mentioned last week, the exclusives for the upcoming Fantastic Fest keep rolling in, and we have another treat from Shudder as the festival approaches. The new poster for the terrifying "Daddy's Head" has been unveiled. The film follows a young boy who, after tragically losing his father, begins a strained relationship with his stepmother, only to be haunted by an evil presence resembling his deceased father. The dark, smoke-filled face on the poster is as eerie as the original debut still. While we await the trailer, enjoy the poster and some new stills! Daddy's Head will stream on Shudder on October 7th.
In the wake of his father’s untimely death, a young boy is left in the eerie solitude of a sprawling country estate with his newly widowed stepmother. Struggling to navigate the overwhelming task of parenthood, his stepmother grows distant, leaving their fragile bond at risk of collapse. Amidst the growing tension, the boy begins to hear unsettling sounds echoing through the corridors, and is soon haunted by the presence of a grotesque creature bearing a disturbingly familiar resemblance to his late father. As the boy’s warnings are dismissed as the imagination of a grieving child, the sinister entity tightens its grip on their crumbling lives.
