☆☆☆☆ The Hollywood News ☆☆☆☆ Starburst ☆☆☆☆ Moving Pictures Film Club "A finely modulated horror-drama from first-time feature filmmaker Edoardo Vitaletti." Screen International "Vitaletti merits admiration for a debut feature whose ambitions are off the usual beaten track." Variety "...an insidiously creepy, provocative exercise in supernatural Americana" Kim Newman "Scott and Fuhrman lead a fine cast with gripping performances" Diabolique Magazine "A terrifying ordeal; thick with atmosphere and dread... Surrounded by a terrific cast full of strong performances, Vitaletti has announced himself as a name to be watched with his story of forbidden love and malignant malice." London Horror Society

Southold, New York, 1843: Young Mary (Scott), blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. As the story jumps back in time, we witness Mary, raised in a repressively religious household, finding fleeting happiness in the arms of Eleanor (Fuhrman), the home’s maid. Her family, who believe they are seeing, speaking, and acting on God’s behalf, view the girls’ relationship as an abomination, to be dealt with as severely as possible. The couple attempt to carry on in secret, but someone is always watching, or listening, and the wages of perceived sin threaten to become death, with the tension only heightened by the arrival of an enigmatic stranger (Culkin) and the revelation of greater forces at work.

Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder, commented; “We are excited to bring Edoardo’s chilling and unique directorial debut to Shudder. Full of twists and turns that will keep viewers guessing until the very end and featuring an immensely talented cast and crew, The Last Thing Mary Saw is a gripping tale we can’t wait to share with our members.” “It is such an honour to join Shudder’s incredible slate of films. For years they have been raising the bar for thought-provoking genre storytelling, and I’m thrilled to partner with them in releasing The Last Thing Mary Saw,” said writer-director Edoardo Vitaletti. The film was produced by Isen Robbins and Aimee Schoof of Intrinsic Value Films, Harrison Allen and Madeleine Schumacher of Arachnid Films, Stephen Tedeschi and Executive Produced by Scoop Wasserstein.   The Last Thing Mary Saw will be available on Shudder from 20th January 2022
