'The Woman in the Yard'
Watch It in Theaters on March 28
It's always a bad omen when a mysterious woman dressed in weird attire warns you about something, and the producers of M3GAN return to tell a similar narrative in the upcoming psychological horror film The Woman in the Yard. Written by Sam Stefanak (F Is for Family) and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan), the film stars Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson), Russel Hornsby (Grimm), and Okwui Okpokwasili (The Exorcist: Believer). The official synopsis of the film reads as follows:
Danielle Deadwyler stars as Ramona, a woman crippled by grief after she survives a car accident that takes her husband. Seriously injured, Ramona now must care for their 14-year-old son and 6-year-old-daughter, alone in her rural farmhouse. Then one day the woman takes form in their yard. Ramona assumes the woman is lost or demented, but as the woman creeps nearer and nearer to the house, it becomes clear she is no ordinary figure and her intentions are anything but peaceful. Now Ramona must rally to protect herself and her children from the grasp of the woman who simply won't leave them alone.
The Woman in the Yard is scheduled to be released in theaters on March 28, 2025.
