Joseph Quinn is becoming a big name in movies. The Stranger Things star has already appeared in A Quiet Place: Day One and will be in Marvel's The Fantastic Four with Pedro Pascal. Now, he's starring in the indie film Hoard.
The film's trailer, released by Sunrise Films, gives a glimpse into Maria's unhealthy relationship with Michael and her mother's influence on her hoarding behavior. The movie highlights the intense and messy world Maria lives in, shaped by her mother's mental illness and her trauma.
The movie's story is about a young girl named Maria living in London in 1984. She deals with her mother's hoarding. One night, everything falls apart, and the movie jumps to Maria’s teenage years. Now living with her foster mother, she must face her past when a stranger shows up.
The official synopsis of the film read: “Hoard film follows young girl Maria (Lily-Beau Leach) living in London in 1984 as she navigates her mother’s obsessive hoarding. One night, their world falls apart, and we join Maria a decade later, living with her foster mother. Flashing forward to the girl’s teenage years, she (Lightfoot-Leon) must confront the madness and trauma of her late mother when a stranger (Quinn) arrives on her doorstep.”
