David F. Sandberg to Direct 'Mommy’s Home' for Lionsgate

Lionsgate cited Sandberg’s horror track record when it announced the project’s producers and studio overseers and left casting and a release date unannounced.

Overview

  • Lionsgate confirmed Tuesday that David F. Sandberg will direct Mommy’s Home, a psychological family horror film written by James Morosini.
  • The studio published an official logline saying the story follows a young father whose life unravels after his cryogenically preserved mother is unfrozen and sent to live with him.
  • Lionsgate named producers including Craig Flores, Dawn Olmstead and Anonymous Content and said Sandberg and Lotta Losten will produce through their company Mångata.
  • The announcement did not include casting or a release date, and reporting notes an unusual script detail that the mother character was reportedly 24 when frozen.
  • The hire is framed as part of Sandberg’s return to horror after Until Dawn and joins several other horror projects he has in development, signaling studio confidence in his genre work.
