The Marsh King’s Daughter Release Date
Initially set for an October 2023 release by STXfilms, the film’s distribution was shifted to Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, who scheduled it for a November 3, 2023 premiere.
But the film was ultimately delayed to November 21, 2023 on digital platforms to avoid competing with Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour.”
After a few distribution changes, the thriller film was digitally released on November 21, 2023 on platforms like iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, Google Play and more.
Following the digital release, the movie was released on Blu-ray and DVD on January 2, 2024. In Europe, the film is being distributed by Amazon Studios via Prime Video as part of ErosSTX’s multi-year deal.

About The Marsh King’s Daughter
Helena knows the marsh like the rhythm of her own pulse. The susurrus of the wind through the reeds, the dank scent of the earth, the cold bite of the water.
These are the lullabies of her forgotten childhood. A childhood stolen by the man they called the Marsh King, a shadow woven from fear and survival.
Now, years later, Helena has built a life far from the whispering wilderness.
But the past casts a long shadow, and when her own daughter becomes a target, Helena is lured back to the fetid embrace of the marsh. This time, she isn’t prey. She is the hunter.
The Marsh King’s Daughter Review
The movie takes viewers on a suspenseful journey into the depths of the Michigan wilderness and the even deeper recesses of human trauma.
Daisy Ridley shines as Helena, a woman haunted by her childhood spent captive in the marsh with her father, the notorious kidnapper known as the Marsh King (played by Ben Mendelsohn).
Now a mother herself, Helena’s carefully constructed life is shattered when her father escapes prison and sets his sights on her daughter.
Cinematographer Alwin H. Küchler’s lens lingers on the swaying reeds, the misty mornings, and the iridescent dragonflies, creating a sense of both allure and unease.
This is a landscape that both nurtured and imprisoned Helena, leaving its mark on her soul. The film’s haunting atmosphere make it a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers.
