In the wake of the film’s World Premiere at Fantastic Fest this Sunday, September 22, Benjamin Barfoot’s horror movie Daddy’s Head is coming to Shudder on October 11.
Watch the official trailer for Daddy’s Head below.
“Daddy’s Head is a very important film for me as it intertwines personal feelings about family, grief and trauma with my desire to experiment with the horror genre,” Barfoot previews.
Julia Brown, Rupert Turnbull, Charles Aitken, and Nathaniel Martello-White star.
Matthew James Wilkinson and Patrick Tolan of Stigma Films produced Daddy’s Head.
It was these comedy films, created with his friend and collaborator Danny Morgan, that eventually lead to his directorial debut, Double Date. Released in 2017 to cinemas nationwide, the film saw him shortlisted for a BIFA for best debut director, whilst winning best international feature at Strasbourg that year. Benjamin also worked with the band Goat on the soundtrack. The success of this musical collaboration inspired him further to experiment with music production whilst developing his own original screenplays. Daddy’s Head is Barfoot’s second feature; He wrote, directed and edited the film, as well as composed the soundtrack.
