Freestyle Digital Media has acquired North American VOD rights to the psychedelic horror-thriller feature film “The Invisible Mother.” It will be making it available to rent and own on digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms on October 12, 2021.
“The Invisible Mother” is written and directed by Jacob Gillman and tells the story of a lesbian stoner, Marcy, and her grandparents, being tormented by the psychedelic spirits of an old photo album. Marcy returns to her grandparents’ home to find a hell of surreal ghosts and psychedelic visions, and Marcy must un-blur the lines of reality to save her family. In this color-saturated psychedelic thriller, Marcy, having initially dismissed these visions as part of her grandmother’s dementia, quickly succumbs to horrors of her own, plagued by the warping reality and psychosexual ghosts seeping into her home. But when a deadly entity from a Victorian photograph steals her grandfather in the night, Marcy has no choice but to team up with her eccentric southern belle neighbor, her ice-cream-truck-driving weed dealer, her ailing grandmother, and an enigmatic phone psychic to confront the dark phantasm before everyone she knows is snatched to the deadly bosom of “The Invisible Mother.”
The “Invisible Mother” features Fayelyn Bilodeau (‘Marcy’), Debra Wilson (‘Glorianna’), Kiersten Warren (‘Coco’), Richard Rhiele (‘Archie’), Helen Slayton-Hughes (‘Mona’), and Kale Clauson (‘Wyatt’).
“Filming an independent movie is kind of traumagic, like child birth in a taxi. Releasing a movie is like sending that child to college, only its professors are John Waters, David Lynch, an anthropomorphic ouija board, and old tales from the darkside episodes,” said filmmakers Jacob Gillman & Matthew Diebler. “Making The Invisible Mother has been an artistic labor of love that we’ve bled our hearts and souls into. We’re thrilled to finally be unleashing our twisted and beautiful baby into the world.”
