Daddy’s Head on Shudder

October 24, 2024

“I had a great time working with OnSight. No request was ever too much, the creatives were a pleasure to sit with and the company’s creativity and skill was always high quality.” – Benjamin Barfoot, Director

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.

Folk horror Daddy’s Head is written and directed by Benjamin Barfoot (Double Date),  with cinematography by Laura Parkes, and producing team Matthew James Wilkinson and Patrick Tolan of Stigma Films. Jamie Harvey co-produces, with Executive Producers James Atherton, Matthew Cooksley, Paul Hillier, Matthew Jones, Tony Maher (OnSight), Simon Lewis Marriott, M.J. McMahon, James Norrie, James Owen, Jan Pace, Bob Portal, and Inderpal Singh. 

Daddy’s Head premiered at Fantastic Fest, screened in selected Alamo cinemas across the US, and has now found a home on Shudder!

“Bone-chilling imagery — often delivered via razor-sharp jump scares.” – IndieWire

“Grief stirs up scares in this atmospheric creature feature.” – Mashable

“Sharply drawn, well-shot, and genuinely unsettling in its own right.” – Screen International
