Brit gothic horror ‘The Baby in the Basket’ gets a release date!

Shepka Productions and Flickering Myth have officially announced the upcoming UK release of their gothic horror feature The Baby in the Basket, which will arrive on Digital and DVD in on February 17th 2025 from High Fliers Films.

A baby in a basket is left on the steps of an isolated monastery on a Scottish island. 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 has been rated 18 by the British Board of Film Classification for “strong sex and disturbing scenes.”

The Baby in the Basket stars Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), Michaela Longden (How to Kill Monsters), Elle O’Hara (Cara), Lisa Riesner (Charlie’s Angels) and Nathan Shepka (When Darkness Falls) alongside veteran British talent Annabelle Lanyon (Legend), Maryam d’Abo (The Living Daylights) and Paul Barber (The Full Monty).

Says director Nathan Shepka:

We’re looking forward to bringing The Baby in the Basket to UK audiences and hope that physical media fans enjoy our slow burn atmospheric horror movie on DVD.

The Baby in the Basket is directed by Nathan Shepka and Andy Crane from a script by Tom Jolliffe. Nathan Shepka, Tom Jolliffe and Gary Collinson produce, with Sanatan Kadakia executive producing. The film has been produced by Shepka Productions, Flickering Myth and Hidden Ridge Productions in association with Nerdly UK (yes, us!).
