Universal dysfunction and paranormal menace collide in The Other, a new horror film landing on Digital and VOD platforms June 13 2025. The project unites genre veterans: writer-director Paul Etheredge—celebrating the twentieth anniversary of his cult classic Hellbent—and producer Jeffrey Reddick, the creative force behind the enduring Final Destination franchise.
The story follows foster parents Daniel (Dylan McTee) and Robin (Olivia Macklin) as they welcome eight-year-old Kathelia (Avangeline Friedlander) into their home. Kathelia’s arrival triggers an outbreak of black mold, a blood-red film over the swimming pool, and an escalating supernatural presence that isolates the family. With guidance from clairvoyant neighbor Fiona (Lily D. Moore), Kathelia discovers that a malignant entity rooted in her own past—and manifested by a vestigial twin—has resurfaced.
As Robin experiences an unexpected pregnancy, her deteriorating health and mounting hostility toward Kathelia set the stage for a confrontation that subverts typical parent-child dynamics. The climax pits a fiercely protective Kathelia, Daniel, and Fiona against a vengeful force determined to be reborn, forcing them to confront a harrowing choice buried inside Kathelia’s mind.
