The Restoration at Grayson Manor

Hedonistic pianist and spoiled heir Boyd Grayson takes great pleasure in provoking his acid-tongued mother, Jacqueline. But when a freak accident leaves him without his hands, she spares no expense restoring him with radical new technology: prosthetics controlled by his subconscious.

The experiment appears to be a success—until Boyd’s darkest impulses begin taking physical form. As severed hands roam the halls and the bodies start piling up, the poisonous relationship between mother and son descends into a gleefully bloody nightmare.

Mixing Gothic horror, savage black comedy and extravagant camp, The Restoration at Grayson Manor is a wicked satire of privilege, repression and the desperate preservation of family legacy.
