Indie horror Mamochka released by Bayview Ent

Film Distributor BayView Entertainment announces the release of Mamochka, a terrifying new entry in their library of horror titles, now available to purchase or rent from finer streaming video platforms worldwide including to rent/buy on Amazon Prime Video.

The new film from writer-director Vilan Trub turns to real-life, tragic history for its backstory, with a haunted doll possessed by the evil spirits of the Nazis who created it during World War II.  

The frightening film’s release comes on the heels of several notable horror hits from BayView, including Take From MeNahualli, and Lechuza. The distributor out of New Jersey has been distributing horror films for over a decade, and found its first big terror success with the arthouse indie horror smash, 2022’s Skinamarink. Its worldwide success cemented BayView’s name in the genre film space, and they are considered one of the premiere distributors of horror films to TVOD and AVOD outlets. 

Trub’s previous release with BayView was the dark noir detective thriller called, The Dirty Kind, Executive Produced by the late Michael Madsen, for which Trub received good notices from film critics. Nikayaya called the film, “a rather impressive attempt at a film of Reservoir Dogs/Swingers status.” Wesley Collins cited it as “a fast-moving film with high intensity and many twists… high impact and high energy.” Viddy Well proclaimed, “Trub has essentially crafted a love letter to the genre that pays homage to its familiar trappings while offering a sprinkle of nuance on top.”

Now, Trub has returned to write, produce, and direct another love letter to another film genre. He’s applied his signature nuance to offer layers to not just a horror tale, but also the sub-genre of horror films that use Nazis as a shocking backdrop to underscore how reprehensibly and irredeemable evil they are, such as Shock WavesFrankenstein’s Army, and especially the Puppet Master films.
