Director Richard Friedman highlights the film’s unique premise: “The concept of a killer who preys only on those who fear him raises the stakes in a unique way. Augie Duke’s portrayal of a mother with nothing left to fear is both compelling and raw, and we’re thrilled for audiences to experience this film.”

Thou Shalt Kill is now available to stream. Fans of thought-provoking horror won’t want to miss this exploration of fear’s psychological grip.
