If you were a fan of The Babadook, you might want to check out Deadly Intent, a recent British entry in the “spooky kid sees dead parent” sub-genre that’s said to be “in the tradition of” the aforementioned chiller along with a few others.
After hitting DVD this past September, director Rebekah Fortune’s unnerving British horror/thriller Deadly Intent is now available on VOD and digital (via platforms such as Amazon and iTunes) in the U.S. It’s been out on DVD from Indie Rights for a few weeks, but this is the first time you can check it out in these other formats.
Gus Barry, Rebecca Reaney, Lara Lemon, and Peter Lloyd star. We have a few images, the trailer, and box art below for your perusal.
Synopsis:
After the death of her soldier husband, a widow tries to build a new life for herself and her young son. Struggling to come to terms with her grief, she is devastated when the boy claims to have seen his dead father.
