Shudder Presents A First Look At “FROM BLACK” Starring Anna Camp

In FROM BLACK, a young mother, crushed by guilt after the disappearance of her young son 5 years previously, is presented with a bizarre offer to learn the truth and set things right. But how far is she willing to go, and is she willing to pay the terrifying price for a chance to hold her boy again?

Streaming exclusively on Shudder on April 28, FROM BLACK was co-written by Jessub Flower and Thomas Marchese and stars Anna Camp (Universal’s Pitch Perfect franchise, HBO’s True Blood) with Jennifer Lafleur (Big Little Lies), John Ales (Euphoria), Travis Hammer (Godless), and Richie Montgomery (Ozark). The film was directed by Thomas Marchese.

Marchese is a multi-award-winning writer/director who has directed, shot, edited, and produced music videos, short-form, narrative, and documentary films. His first feature film, Fallen, took home the jury prize for Best Documentary Feature at the 2017 Hollywood Film Festival. Marchese is currently in post-production on FROM BLACK and in prep for the police procedural Innocent. Take a first look at FROM BLACK; stills below!
