Indie horror Marshmallow climbs into AMC+ top four after festival run

Movieweb reports that Marshmallow, an independent horror film, was recently added to AMC+ and is now the streaming service's fourth most popular movie. Set at a summer camp, Marshmallow blends horror and science fiction around timid 12-year-old Morgan as a spooky campfire story about a sinister "doctor" begins to unfold.

The official synopsis reads: "When timid 12-year-old Morgan arrives at a secluded camp, a spooky campfire story about a sinister 'doctor' begins to unfold with terrifying accuracy. As the legend comes to life and a mysterious figure stalks the woods, Morgan and his new friends must fight to survive the night and uncover the terrifying truth hidden beneath the camp's idyllic surface — a revelation that challenges everything they thought they knew about fear, identity, and the real nature of their existence." Directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio and written by Andy Greskoviak, the film stars Kue Lawrence, Kai Cech and Giorgia Whigham, among others, and premiered at Panic Fest last March before hitting theaters the following month.
