Kindred – Watch Tamara Lawrance and Fiona Shaw in the trailer for new psychological thriller

When her boyfriend Ben suddenly dies in an accident, mother-to-be Charlotte (Tamara Lawrance, Steve McQueen’s Small Axe: Education) collapses upon receiving the news. She wakes up in Ben’s family home, a crumbling old manor house in the middle of nowhere with Ben’s overbearing mother, Margaret (Fiona Shaw, “Killing Eve”), and his controlling stepbrother, Thomas (Jack Lowden, Dunkirk). They are determined to care for her, at least until the baby arrives. Grief-stricken and increasingly haunted by visions possibly brought on by the pregnancy, Charlotte accepts their help. But as the days go by and her visions intensify, she begins to doubt the family’s intentions and her suspicions grow that they may be trying to control her and her unborn baby.

Directed by Joe Marcantonio, the film stars Tamara Lawrance, Jack Lowden, Fiona Shaw, and Edward Holcroft.
