Daddys Head Plot Synopsis:

Synopsis / Plot Summary: A boy and his stepmother fear for their safety after an eerie creature resembling the boy"s recently deceased father visits them.

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.

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced today that they have acquired the rights to DADDY’S HEAD, the chilling sophomore feature from writer-director Benjamin Barfoot (DOUBLE DATE) starring Julia Brown (WORLD ON FIRE) and Rupert Turnbull (NATIVITY ROCKS). The film is produced by Matthew James Wilkinson and Patrick Tolan of Stigma Films. The rights will cover North America, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, with plans to release the film exclusively on the streamer on October 11, 2024.

DADDY’S HEAD follows a boy and his young, recently widowed stepmother who find themselves in fear for their lives after they are visited by a strange and unexplainable creature - something that appears to mimic a horrifying version of the boy’s recently deceased father.

“Daddy’s Head is a very important film for me as it intertwines personal feelings about family, grief and trauma with my desire to experiment with the horror genre. It’s very exciting to partner with Shudder as they’ve shown nothing but enthusiasm and excitement towards the film,” said director Benjamin Barfoot.

The deal was negotiated by AMP on behalf of the filmmakers and Adam Koehler on behalf of Shudder.
