“It’s the doctor! He’s real!” Quiver Distr. recently released this indie horror film and it’s already available to watch. Marshmallow is a horror film “for kids” about kids at summer camp encountering a scary doctor, made by the director / VFX artist Daniel DelPurgatorio as his first feature film. 12-year-old Morgan Kim is terrified of summer camp—especially the spooky campfire stories. But when a masked “doctor” figure from legend comes to life, he must conquer his fears, protect his friends, and uncover Camp Almar’s dark secret before it’s too late. This group of young campers will uncover a profound secret that questions their very existence. Starring Kue Lawrence as Morgan, with Giorgia Whigham, Corbin Bernsen, Paul Soter, Pierson Fode, and a bunch of other camp kids. I’m glad someone is still trying to make horror movies that younger viewers can watch. The villain in this isn’t the scariest thing out there, but that’s obviously because this is trying to introduce kids to horror without all the gory stuff. Nice poster paying homage to The Thing.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Daniel DelPurgatorio’s horror Marshmallow, from YouTube:
12-year-old Morgan Kim (Kue Lawrence) is timid, anxious, and terrified of everything-especially summer camp. But when a chilling campfire story comes to life and a legendary masked figure emerges from the shadows, fear is no longer an option. To survive, Morgan must face his worst nightmares, protect his new friends, and uncover the dark secret haunting Camp Almar before it’s too late. Marshmallow is an indie horror film directed by American VFX supervisor / filmmaker Daniel DelPurgatorio, making his feature directorial debut after many other shorts previously, including the animated “Tales of the Black Freighter” segment in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. The screenplay is written by Andy Greskoviak. Produced by Warner Davis & Todd M. Friedman. This hasn’t premiered at any film fests or elsewhere, as far as we know. Quiver Distr. has already debuted DelPurgatorio’s Marshmallow – it’s available to watch now on VOD. Any good?
