“She thought everything was perfect – but everything she thought was a lie”. This strong headline accompanies the horror and drama Adalynn (2023), an intense and visually stirring tale where a new mother battles the unthinkable crossing the line between reality and fantasy.
In the movie, Adalynn is a mother fighting postpartum depression and slipping over the edge. It becomes hard to distinguish where depression ends, and her nightmares turn real, as she and her newborn are haunted by a stalker unlike any other. Adalynn (2023) trades in a space between horror, fantasy, ghosts, demons, the Satanic occult, and dreams.
Adalynn (2023) has been directed by debutant Jacob Byrd from a screenplay by Jerrod D. Brito (13 Slays Till X-Mas (2020)), also the associate producer of the film.
The main cast is led by Sydney Carvill and also includes Wade Baker, Janet Carter, Rob Shuster, and Suzana Norberg.
The movie has had a wide festivals run where it has collected a big amount of nominations and awards. It has been part of the Focus International Film Festival, IndieFEST Film Awards, LA Independent Women Film Awards, New York International Women Festival, and SoCal Film Awards to name a few.
Summer Hill Films has distribution rights for the movie. Its president, Ted Chalmers, has expressed from the film “Adalynn (2023) showcases the postpartum experience real-life mothers face while giving viewers an insight into their inner demons”. Straw Weisman, the co-producer of the film, stated “it’s quirky and strange, an art-house psychological thriller with shocking twists”.
Adalynn (2023) is out on digital and DVD on March 28, 2023. Watch its official trailer here.
