We’ve been covering writer/director Edoardo Vitaletti’s religious horror film The Last Thing Mary Saw for quite a while here on Arrow in the Head – in fact, I reviewed the movie way back in August, and you can read what I thought of it at THIS LINK. Soon a wider audience will have the chance to watch the movie, as The Last Thing Mary Saw will be released through the Shudder streaming service in North America, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand on January 20th. In anticipation of the film’s streaming debut, a trailer has been released online and you can check it out in the embed above.
Starring Stefanie Scott (Insidious: Chapter 3) and Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), The Last Thing Mary Saw is
a period occult drama set in an isolated farmhouse in the winter of 1843, where a young woman is under investigation following the mysterious death of her family’s matriarch. It soon becomes apparent that ageless forces are at play, from within and without.

And if you want to know more, here’s a longer synopsis:
Southold, New York, 1843: Young Mary, blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. As the story jumps back in time, we witness Mary, raised in a repressively religious household, finding fleeting happiness in the arms of Eleanor, the home’s maid. Her family, who believe they are seeing, speaking, and acting on God’s behalf, view the girls’ relationship as an abomination, to be dealt with as severely as possible. The couple attempts to carry on in secret, but someone is always watching, or listening, and the wages of perceived sin threaten to become death, with the tension only heightened by the arrival of an enigmatic stranger and the revelation of greater forces at work.
Fuhrman and Scott are joined in the cast by Rory Culkin (Scream 4) and Judith Roberts (Dead Silence).
