David F. Sandberg has been tapped to direct a new psychological horror movie, “Mommy’s Home,” for Lionsgate.

From screenwriter James Morosini, “Mommy’s Home” follows “a young dad whose family life becomes terrifyingly unhinged when his cryogenically preserved mom is unfrozen and sent to live with him,” according to an official logline.

Sandberg is probably best known for writing and directing his viral YouTube short turned horror feature “Lights Out.” He also helmed “Shazam!” and its 2023 sequel. His most directing credit was 2025’s “Until Dawn,” a big-screen adaptation of the popular horror video game for Sony.
