This time, one of the kids instead of the counselors is the focus.

The indie horror film MARSHMALLOW is coming to theaters April 11. Directed by Daniel Delpurgatorio (TALES OF THE BLACK FREIGHTER) and written by Andy Greskoviak (BLACK FRIDAY), it stars Kue Lawrence, Kai Cech, Giorgia Whigham, Max Malas, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper, Pierson Fodé, Alysia Reiner, Corbin Bernsen and Paul Soter, with makeup effects by Robert Kurtzman and Marcy King. The synopsis: “At a secluded summer camp, Morgan [Lawrence], a shy and introverted 12-year-old, is thrust into a living nightmare when a legendary campfire tale becomes real. As a mysterious figure begins stalking the camp, Morgan and his newfound friends must embark on a perilous journey that will force them to confront their deepest fears and question the very nature of their existence.”
