Article Summary

  • Lionsgate releases The Marsh King's Daughter on digital and Blu-ray January 2nd.
  • Daisy Ridley stars alongside Ben Mendelsohn in this tense thriller movie.
  • No theatrical run mentioned, seems ripe for a cozy home movie night pairing.
  • Blu-ray includes director commentary and a making-of documentary feature.

The Marsh King's Daughter is a new Lionsgate film hitting digital and Blu-ray on January 2nd. It stars Daisy Ridley, Ben Mendelsohn, Garrett Hedlund, Caren Pistorius, Brooklynn Prince and Gil Birmingham. Neil Burger directs from a script by Elle Smith and Mark L. Smith. I do not remember this one having a run in theaters at all, but with that cast, I am surprised that it didn't get a wider release. It looks like it could be a solid watch on the couch this winter. You could even double-feature it with the new Hunger Games. Below is the trailer for the film, as well as the cover for the Blu-ray release.

The Marsh King's Daughter Synopsis

In the tense thriller The Marsh King's Daughter, a woman with a secret past will venture into the wilderness she left behind to confront the most dangerous man she's ever met: her father. In the film, Helena's (Daisy Ridley) seemingly ordinary life hides a dark and dangerous truth: her estranged father is the infamous Marsh King (Ben Mendelsohn), the man who kept her and her mother captive in the wilderness for years. When her father escapes from prison, Helena will need to confront her past. Knowing that he will hunt for her and her family, Helena must find the strength to face her demons and outmaneuver the man who taught her everything she knows about surviving in the wild.
