The trailer for The Forest Hills has been released, showing the late legendary actress Shelley Duvall in her final movie appearance before her death in July of this year. She was 75.
Serving as Duvall’s final movie, The Forest Hills also marked the actress’s return to acting over 20 years after taking a lengthy break. She was last seen on screen in 2002’s Manna From Heaven, a comedy film directed by Gabrielle and Maria Burton.
The actress is known for her performances in The Shining (1980), Popeye (1980), Time Bandits (1981), Frankenweenie (1984), Roxanne (1987), The Portrait of a Lady (1996), and more.
The blood-filled trailer for The Forest Hills opens with a man being chased by a beast in the forest. It then introduces Duvall’s chain-smoking character, who seems to be not an ordinary mother to her children.
