Uncork’d Entertainment is set to release the chilling, claustrophobic indie horror film Its Name Was Mormo this November. The film, captured through a raw lens, offers a terrifying glimpse into a family’s descent into chaos.
Initially intended as a personal documentary, Its Name Was Mormo evolved into a haunting narrative after the family made a shocking discovery. In the film, a young family’s life unravels into chaos as a sinister presence maliciously targets each member. Mark, Diana, and Mia.
The film marks Mark Andrew Bowers’ directorial debut. He also stars alongside Mia Bowers and Diana Cardenas. The family’s connection adds a profoundly personal layer to the narrative. Bowers guides the family through the film’s tense and terrifying narrative.
Marcela’s unsettling feeling of being observed led her to keep the curtains drawn day and night. Mark experienced the unsettling sensation of a presence. Their puppy, Romeo, frequently barked into dark corners and whined while pacing in circles. The occurrences are woven into the fabric of the production as the family’s unsettling experiences fueled their determination to complete the project swiftly, eager to return to normalcy.
