The Forest Hills Trailer: Shelley Duvall’s Final Film Features Her Son Battling Inner Demons & Troubled Relationship With His Mom; Watch

As a devoted fan of Shelley Duvall, I can hardly contain my excitement for her final role in “The Forest Hills“. It’s heartbreaking to know that this will be our last chance to witness her exceptional talent on screen, but it’s also bittersweet, knowing that she left us with one more masterpiece.


In the independent horror film “The Forest Hills,” Shelley Duvall makes her final on-screen appearance. The movie’s trailer was unveiled on September 13, 2024. Unfortunately, this will be the last chance for Duvall’s devoted fans to appreciate her remarkable acting skills, as she passed away in July 2024 due to diabetes-related complications.

Forest Hills narrates the tale of Rico, portrayed by Chiko Mendez, who grapples with sinister past secrets and terrifying dreams that transform him into a werewolf. Shelley Duvall assumes the role of his tormented mother, depicted in the trailer expressing concern about an old event where Rico and his sister were confined in a car.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but empathize with Rico, a character who wrestles with mysteries that remain elusive to him, and carries the weight of a strained bond with his mother. Yet, amidst this turmoil, there’s a beacon of comfort in his friendship with Billy, brilliantly played by Edward Furlong.

In the year 2023, Scott Goldberg, the director, reached out to Shelley Duvall with an offer for a part in his upcoming movie.

Goldberg remarked to the media outlet, “Shelley is a legendary figure of Hollywood. It makes me joyful to see her get the chance to demonstrate her continued skill.

During a time when Duvall was dealing with existing health problems, she was recorded at her Texas residence instead of physically present, as instructions were given to her through the Zoom platform.

According to an article from Entermaint Weekly, her health challenges led to restricted mobility, and she was required to use a wheelchair. This aspect of her condition was incorporated into her character in the film.

In 2002, Shelley Duvall, famously known for her role in “The 3 Women,” announced her retirement from acting following the completion of the movie “Manna From Heaven.” During the filming of “The Forest Hills,” she shared with PEOPLE that returning to acting was an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for her, adding a new dimension to her life.

In October 2024, the movie “The Forest Hills” will make a selective appearance in cinemas for viewing.
