The Id is an award winning independent psychological thriller directed by Thommy Hutson starring A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Amanda Wyss. Although this is Thommy Hutson’s directorial debut, he produced several horror documentaries, including Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th and More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead. With a script written by Sean H. Stewart, The Id was produced by Daniel Farrands, known for writing Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Alongside Wyss, Patrick Peduto (Revelator, The Apotheosis of Jack) plays the father while Jamye Méri Grant (Last to Love, Death Suspects a Murder), Malcolm Matthews (Juiced, Makeup Call) and Brent Witt (Castle) co-star as the “suspicious outsiders drawn into Meridith’s world of hallucinatory dementia.”
Film synopsis: For decades, Meridith Lane (Wyss) has felt trapped in her home. Surviving on memories of youth, she watches the years slip by while caring for her abusive father…until a figure from her past makes a surprising return. In order to live the life she desires, Meridith must confront her father’s monstrous cruelty and attempt to escape his tyrannical grip. But the man who controls her every move won’t let go without a fight, leading father and daughter into a series of desperate and irreversible acts. As Meridith’s psyche is slowly pushed to the breaking point, the line between fantasy and reality is hopelessly blurred. With strangers prying at the door and the walls of her childhood home closing in, Meridith spirals into a frightening world of paranoia, madness…and violence.
It sounds absolutely maddening and we certainly can’t wait to check it out! The film is coming to Blu-ray on October 25th and will include exclusive features, such as Needs, Wants & Desires: Behind The Scenes of The Id, a feature-length commentary with director/producer Thommy Hutson and actress Amanda Wyss, deleted and alternate scenes, behind the scenes footage, audition footage, trailers and a photo gallery.
