Shudder Adds Another Fantasia Festival Selection

AMC Networks’ Shudder streaming service has acquired the period horror feature The Last Thing Mary Saw ahead of its world premiere at Fantasia International Film Festival.

The Last Thing Mary Saw begins in Southold, New York, in 1843 as young Mary (Stefanie Scott, Insidious: Chapter 3), with blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. Her recollection of the events sheds new light on the ageless forces behind the tragedy.

Shudder will release the film in North America, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in early 2022.

Edoardo Vitaletti is writer and director on the film.

Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder, said: “We are excited to bring Edoardo’s chilling and unique directorial debut to Shudder. Full of twists and turns that will keep viewers guessing until the very end and featuring an immensely talented cast and crew, The Last Thing Mary Saw is a gripping tale we can’t wait to share with our members.”

Vitaletti commented: “It is such an honor to join Shudder’s incredible slate of films. For years they have been raising the bar for thought-provoking genre storytelling, and I’m thrilled to partner with them in releasing The Last Thing Mary Saw.”
