Shudder has released a trailer and images for the coming of age horror Hellbender, the new film from independent filmmaking family The Adams Family (The Hatred, The Deeper You Dig) which follows a lonely teenager living an isolated life who comes to discover her family’s terrifying ties to witchcraft; check them out here…
16-year-old Izzy leads an isolated life on a lonely mountaintop. All she’s learned is from her protective mom and the wilderness that swallows them. Izzy dreams of a live gig, but her mother thinks she’s too sick and mustn’t be around others. Questioning her illness and starved for companionship, Izzy sneaks down the mountain where she befriends brazen Amber. Izzy is in heaven until a cruel drinking game with a live worm unleashes a new kind of hunger.
Hellbender is written and directed by Toby Poser, John Adams, and Zelda Adams, who also stars alongside Lulu Adams.
Hellbender arrives on Shudder on February 24th.
