The 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival is set to be held from August 5th through the 25th, and one of the genre films that will be having its world premiere at the festival is writer/director Edoardo Vitaletti's religious horror film The Last Thing Mary Saw, which stars Isabelle Fuhrman (Escape Room: Tournament of Champions) and Stefanie Scott (Insidious: Chapter 3). A batch of images have from The Last Thing Mary Saw have arrived online and can be seen below.
The film 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.
If you want to know more, here's a longer synopsis:
Southold, New York, 1843: Young Mary (Stefanie Scott), 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 (Isabelle Fuhrman), 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 attempt 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 (Rory Culkin) and the revelation of forces other than the Lord at work.
That description kind of brings to mind the recent Netflix release Fear Street Part 3: 1666.
Fuhrman and Scott are joined in the cast by Rory Culkin (Scream 4) and Judith Roberts (Dead Silence).
We'll keep you updated on The Last Thing Mary Saw as it makes its way out into the world and release plans are revealed.
