The official trailer for the upcoming psychological horror film Daddy's Head just dropped, and we're even more pumped up to see this movie after watching it. It's set to have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024, followed by a streaming release on Shudder on Friday, Oct. 11.

Daddy's Head was written and helmed by Benjamin Barfoot. He previously directed the horror-comedy Double Date as well as a couple of episodes of the British current affairs documentary programme Panorama. In addition, Matthew James Wilkinson and Patrick Tolan of Stigma Films produced this horror flick.

After his father passes away, a young boy named Isaac is left in the care of his grieving stepmother, Laura, since he has no next of kin. Together, they reside in a large country estate where they struggle to build a relationship.

Things then take a turn for the worse when Isaac begins hearing strange sounds throughout the house. It sounds like his recently deceased father's voice calling out to him. As he investigates where the voice is coming from, he discovers that it isn't his dad but a disturbing creature resembling him. Isaac and Laura's mental states begin spiraling, and their lives begin to crumble as the extremely grotesque creature starts stalking them.

Rupert Turnbull (Nativity Rocks) and Julia Brown (World On Fire) star in the leading roles of Isaac and Laura. Joining them in the cast are Nathaniel Martello-White (I Hate Suzie, Small Axe: Mangrove) and Charles Aitken (Happy Death Day, The Girl On The Train).

Take a look at the tense yet gripping trailer for Daddy's Head below. You'll understand why we consider this a must-see movie after watching it.

Based on this trailer, this film might just be one of Shudder's best horror movies to come out this year. Of course, we'll have to see it first to confirm this, but we're already sold after looking at the trailer.

Daddy's Head is coming to Shudder on Oct. 11, 2024. Don't forget to mark your calendar!
