The late actress filmed the indie horror film in 2023, before passing away in July 2024

In early October, the public will be able to see the last film of the late Shelley Duvall.

Duvall, who died in July at age 75 from complications from diabetes, appeared in her final film The Forest Hills. The trailer for the indie horror film was released on Friday, September 13.

Her recent role comes more than 20 years off-screen, as she last acted in Manna from Heaven (2002).

The Forest Hills was directed by Scott Goldberg and follows Rico (Chiko Mendez), the son of Duvall’s character, as he spirals deeper into madness. He is haunted by dark old secrets and nightmarish visions of becoming a werewolf. The film is set in the Catskill Mountains, where Rico grows increasingly fearful while struggling with his tumultuous relationship with his mother.
