Morton will play Martha, an emotionally fragile mother, who moves to a remote Irish village with her husband Tomas (Steven Mackintosh) following the tragic death of their baby daughter. Whilst there, the couple decide to take in a disturbed and orphaned autistic girl called Daisy. Uncommunicative and greatly scarred by the violent death of her parents, Daisy gradually warms to her new surroundings. But, as a series of strange occurrences begin to be linked to the little girl, Martha and Tomas begin to hear rumours from the locals that Daisy might be something far more malevolent than she seems.
The Film will be a UK/Irish co-production and Subotica Entertainment’s Tristan Orpen Lynch and Dominic Wright will produce.
ContentFilm International is co-financing the film alongside the Irish Film Board, The Wales Creative IP Fund, The Limelight Fund and The Broadcast Commission of Ireland.
Subotica’s Lynch and Wright said, “Bafta nominee Aisling Walsh has a unique ability to deliver powerful, intense films. Bringing this talent to a truly frightening movie like “The Daisy Chain” is a really exciting prospect.
ContentFilm Intl President, Jamie Carmichael said, “Samantha brings something very special to this role and her record with the Academy speaks for itself. I think the market is ready for a really scary, intelligent and above all, performance driven supernatural thriller.”
