In MARY, David (Oldman) is a struggling blue-collar captain looking to make a better life for his family. Strangely drawn to an abandoned ship named ‘Mary” that is up for auction, David impulsively buys the boat, believing it will be his family’s ticket to happiness and prosperity. But soon after they embark on their maiden journey, strange and frightening events begin to terrorize David and his family, causing them to turn on one another. With tensions high, the ship drifts off course, and it becomes horrifyingly clear that the family is being lured to an even greater evil waiting for them at sea.

 

 

MARY was produced by Tucker Tooley (Den of Thieves), Scott Lambert (The Silence) D. Scott Lumpkin (The Foreigner), Alexandra Milchan (The Wolf of Wall Street) and Earl Mason McGowin. The dealwas negotiated by Ward and Jess De Leo for RLJE Films as well as eOne’s Rosalind Read and Tooley on behalf of the filmmakers.
