McManus Brothers Wrap Production on Horror-Thriller ‘Redux Redux,’ First Film From Mothership Motion Pictures (EXCLUSIVE)

As a movie enthusiast who has seen my fair share of genre benders and sibling collaborations, I must say that the upcoming “Redux Redux” seems to be a tantalizing blend of both. The McManus brothers’ rise to prominence on Netflix’s “Cobra Kai” and “American Vandal,” along with their Emmy nomination and Peabody Award, has already piqued my interest.


Kevin McManus and his brother Matthew McManus have completed shooting for their debut film titled “Redux Redux,” under their recently established production house, Mothership Motion Pictures.

As a passionate movie reviewer, I’ve just had the chills watching this gripping horror-thriller that brings together an exceptional cast. I was particularly captivated by the performance of Michaela McManus, whom you might recognize from “The Block Island Sound” and “The Orville.” Jim Cummings, a familiar face from “Thunder Road” and “The Wolf of Snow Hollow,” also delivered a compelling portrayal. The talented Jeremy Holm (“House of Cards,” “Brooklyn 45”) graced the screen with his presence, while Taylor Misiak, known for her role in “Dave,” added depth to the storyline. Newcomer Stella Marcus showed great promise in this film, and Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”) rounded out the stellar ensemble. This movie is a must-see for any horror enthusiast!

“In ‘Redux Redux,’ protagonist Irene Kelly (McManus) embarks on a journey across multiple universes, repeatedly seeking vengeance against the one who took her daughter’s life. This relentless pursuit of justice becomes an obsession for Irene, potentially compromising her own humanity.”

As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m thrilled about Mothership Motion Pictures, a new venture that brings back the talented team behind acclaimed festival movies like “Funeral Kings” and “13 Cameras.” Led by producers Michael J. McGarry (“The Wolf of Snow Hollow”), PJ McCabe (“The Beta Test”), Nate Cormier (“Star Wars: Bad Batch”), and the McManus duo, this independent production company is all set to focus on genre films that are driven by artists’ visions. I can hardly wait to see what they’ll create next!

Kevin McManus and his brother Matthew gained recognition for their contributions as writers and producers on the Netflix series “Cobra Kai” and “American Vandal.” Their work on “American Vandal” was honored with an Emmy nomination and a Peabody Award. Additionally, they collaborated to write and direct the film “The Block Island Sound,” which debuted on Netflix in 2021.

“The McManus brothers expressed their immense enthusiasm about collaborating with the entire Mothership team for ‘Redux Redux.’ They’re eager to continue their creative journey after ‘The Block Island Sound,’ offering another genre-blending production featuring their sister in her most brutal role. They can hardly contain their anticipation to debut it to audiences next year.”
