The synopsis of the film involves a newlywed who faces the fears from her childhood, according to the press release:

“The title character, played fearlessly by newcomer Gretchen Lodge, is a newlywed who returns to her long abandoned family home and is hit with scary reminders of her nightmarish childhood that quickly color her new life. She descends into an evil that is one part psychosis and another part possession.”

According to the press release, the teams behind the acquisition are very pleased to receive “Lovely Molly.”

“We are thrilled to release Eduardo’s film which marks a return and evolution to the genre that he created” said Mark Ward, Vice President of Acquisitions at Image, “We look forward to partnering with Haxan and Amber to maximize the truly robust transmedia marketing campaign they’ve put together to make the film a huge success.”
