Raising kids is hard. Throw in an attempted kidnapping, a cult, and some supernatural shenanigans, then it can be a downright nightmare. If you don't believe me, take a look at our trailer and poster debut for Son, Shudder and RLJE's new horror movie heading to theaters, On Demand, and Digital next month. Shudder has really been knocking it out of the park lately with their original films (in fact, one of them wound up on my Top 10 last year), so I'm always excited to see what they've got lined up next - especially when it involves cults and supernatural shenanigans.

Halloween's Andi Matichak stars as Laura, a mother who learns how far she's willing to go to save her son after he becomes the victim of an attempted kidnapping and a sudden bout of mysterious illness. Written and directed by The Canal filmmaker Ivan KavanaghSon also stars Emile Hirsch and Luke David Blumm and drops on March 5, 2021. Check out our exclusive trailer and poster debut below, followed by the official synopsis.
