Plot

A seemingly charming stepfather murders his wife and stepson, setting off a string of killings as the members of his new family begin to suspect the violence behind his mild outward persona.[1][3]

Cast

Production

In a 2021 interview, Vincent M. Ward said the project began from a script he had written and that the material was reworked before production moved forward. He also said filming had taken place shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Later release listings credited Thomas J. Churchill as director, Drica Armstrong and Ward as the writers, and Hillionaire Productions as the production company.[1][2]

Release

The film was released on demand and digitally in the United States on April 28, 2026. Distributor materials list a running time of 97 minutes and an R rating for violence.[2][3]
