The mold knows in new trailer for Motivational Growth, with Jeffrey Combs

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Last month we brought you the release date and artwork reveal for Don Thacker's insane-looking MOTIVATIONAL GROWTH, a horror-comedy that features the voice work of RE-ANIMATOR star Jeffrey Combs as a talking mold. Yeah…a talking mold. Odd, for sure, but this new trailer certainly does a good job of selling me on wanting to peep this one when it hits VOD worldwide on September 30th (via Devolver in most countries, and Indiecan in Canada), Blu-Ray & DVD in Canada on the same date, and DVD in the US the following week (via Parade Deck), on October 6th.

In Motivational Growth, Ian Foliver (Adrian DiGiovanni), a depressed and reclusive man in his 30s, finds himself taking advice from a growth in his bathroom after a failed suicide attempt. The Mold (‘ReAnimator’ star Jeffrey Combs), a smooth talking fungus born of the filth in a neglected bathroom, works to help Ian clean himself up and remodel his lifestyle. The Mold has big plans for Ian, but they may not be as innocent as they seem. A labyrinthine-narrative follows, full of colorfully-drawn characters and gruesome body horror. “The Mold knows, Jack. The Mold knows.”

The DVD release will include a commentary track (with actors Jeffrey Combs and Adrian DiGiovanni, and director Don Thacker), a photo gallery and trailers. The Blu-Ray edition will also include some additional behind the scenes material.
