Film Mode Entertainment announced the acquisition of the new horror-thriller, Psychopomp, which will have its American Film Market (AFM) premiere from  director/screenwriter Paul Etheredge.

Psychopomp follows a couple, Robin and Daniel – long struggling with infertility –  as they realize their dreams of parenthood by welcoming an orphan, Kathelia, into their home. However, those dreams crack under the weight of Kathelia’s erratic behavior, which only becomes more frighting when Robin discovers she’s inexplicably pregnant.

The film stars Olivia Macklin (A Family Affair, The Young Pope, Christmas Always Finds Its Way), Dylan McTee (Wrong Turn, Sweet/Vicious, The Wind), Avangeline Friedlander (The Winchesters, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey), Shawnee Smith (The Blob, Saw, Saw X), Lily D. Moore (Never Have I Ever, Single Drunk Female, Teachers), and Morgana Shaw (Hit Man, American Underdog, The Long Game). Psychopomp is written and directed by Paul Etheredge (Hellbent, Angel of Death, Eli Roth’s History of Horror).

“Psychopomp was born from a nightmare. On my honeymoon, I dreamed of caring for a child, even as it literally tore my new family apart,” said director Paul Etheredge. “Firstly, though, Psychopomp is a horror movie: thrilling, scary, grotesque, fun, and funny.”
