Mark O’Brien’s (Ready or Not) new horror film, The Voices of Our Mother, has been acquired by Shudder, according to a report on Deadline.

Starring O’Brien, Sheila McCarthy (Women Talking) and Georgina Reilly (Quantum Leap), The Voices of Our Mother follows Harriet Scaflen (McCarthy) after the death of her mother at the age of 95. In the aftermath, Harriet has an unexplainable health scare, bringing her four estranged children to the family home to care for her. As their past animosities and secrets are revealed, they soon realize their mother’s health issues may be supernatural, and the awoken evil inside her is seeking revenge on her children for her own survival.

“Mark is a rare genre-blending talent who has proven his skill both in front of and behind the camera,” said Shudder’s Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Productions, Emily Gotto. “His latest work on THE VOICES OF OUR MOTHER proves to be a haunting supernatural horror, and we’re thrilled to give this story a platform for Shudder’s viewers.”
