‘Mother of Flies’ – Shudder Will Release Next Movie from the Adams Family in 2026

Filmmaking trio Toby Poser, John Adams, and Zelda Adams (Hellbender, Where the Devil Roams, Hell Hole) are collectively known as the Adams Family, and their next horror project is a film titled Mother of Flies. Variety reports this afternoon that the film will keep the Adams Family in business with Shudder, as the streamer has picked up the rights to the movie.

Variety details, “Written, directed, and starring Toby Poser, John Adams, and their daughter Zelda Adams, the film also features their older daughter, Lulu Adams, in a co-starring role.”

Shudder will bring Mother of Flies to streaming sometime in 2026.

Here’s the plot synopsis for the “haunted fairytale”…

“Mickey faces a terminal diagnosis, even though she isn’t ready to die yet. Heading into the woods with her father, she seeks dark magic at the hands of mysterious recluse, Solveig. For three days, Mickey endures Solveig’s extreme rituals. But the ‘cure’ comes at a cost.”

“Shudder feels like family – a beautiful creative home offering up the most diverse and eclectic platform to its voracious, horror loving audience.  For our small family that loves making bloody movie magic together in the woods, it feels so good to be welcomed back with Mother of Flies to the cine-madness and dark, brilliant mayhem at Shudder. We are grateful to Samuel Zimmerman and the whole Shudder team for being such wonderful, generous, and always-fun partners in creativity,” said the Adams Family.

Samuel Zimmerman adds, “Once again, Shudder embraces the singular world of the Adams Family, some of the most original voices in horror. Mother of Flies is a gnarled complement to their witchy gem, Hellbender, deeply felt and frightening. We’re thrilled for it to dig its twisted roots into our members.”
