From Black: Anna Camp supernatural horror movie is coming to Shudder in April

About eleven months ago, we heard that filming had begun on a supernatural horror movie called From Black, starring Anna Camp of the Pitch Perfect films, the HBO television series True Blood, and A Creepshow Holiday Special. The filmmakers did not have a distribution deal in place when they went into production on From Black, but they quickly secured one – and now it has been announced that From Black will be available to watch on the Shudder and AMC+ streaming services as of April 13th!

The narrative feature debut of Thomas Marchese, who previously directed the documentary FallenFrom Black will tell the story of what happens when a young mother, crushed by guilt and shame after the disappearance of her young son five years previously, is offered a bizarre opportunity to learn the truth and set things right. The movie asks whether she is she willing to pay the terrifying price for a chance to hold her boy again.

Camp is joined in the cast by Jennifer Lafleur (Big Little Lies), John Ales (Euphoria), Travis Hammer (Godless), and Richie Montgomery (Ozark).

Marchese wrote the script with Jessup Flower and is producing the project for Dark Room Films. Vincent Cardinale and K7 Entertainment’s Kelly Frazier are also producing. Camp serves as executive producer alongside Cesar Mercado, Humberto Carillo, and Amp’s James Norrie, Bob Portal, and Inderpal Singh. Amp is handling the world sales.

Marchese previously told Deadline the idea behind From Black was to “take a dark police procedural and cross it into a flat-out terrifying supernatural horror story. And I really feel we have nailed the tone and hit that mark in a big way.

Filming took place in Natchez, Mississippi. Speaking with The Natchez Democrat, Frazier said that watching From Black is meant to be a very emotional experience for viewers, as “it shows us the lengths a mother will go in order to find her missing child.” Cardinale informed the newspaper that Camp’s character Cora is a recovering drug addict who is “desperate for closure and saddled by crushing guilt after the disappearance of her young son.

Sounds interesting to me. How does From Black sound to you? Will you be watching this movie on Shudder or AMC+ when it’s released in April? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
