Shepka Productions and Flickering Myth are delighted to announce the upcoming UK release of The Baby in the Basket, with the gothic horror feature set to arrive on Digital and DVD on February 17th 2025 from High Fliers Films. US and international release details will follow soon.
The Baby in the Basket is directed by Nathan Shepka and Andy Crane (When Darkness Falls) and takes place on a remote Scottish island during World War II. When a baby is left on the steps of an isolated monastery, the nuns take it in, planning to care for it until a storm passes. Soon though, strange and unexplained events begin to happen at the convent.
The Baby in the Basket is available to pre-order now on DVD in the UK via Amazon and HMV, and has been rated 18 by the British Board of Film Classification, for strong sex and disturbing scenes.
