What happens

Mr. Crocket is a 2024 American supernatural horror film directed by Brandon Espy in his feature directorial debut from a screenplay he co-wrote with Carl Reid. Based on Espy's 2022 short film of the same name, the film stars Elvis Nolasco as the title character, with Jerrika Hinton, Ayden Gavin, Kristolyn Lloyd, and Alex Akpobome in supporting roles. It follows a mother who embarks on a quest to rescue her son from a demonic children's television series host who is kidnapping children. The film was first announced in July 2024 as a full-length version of Epsy's original short that he directed for Hulu's Bite Size Halloween series. Nolasco and Hinton were attached to star in the film, with Nolasco also acting as associate producer. Mr. Crocket premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 26, 2024, and was released by WorthenBrooks as a Hulu original film in the United States and on Disney+ internationally on October 11. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
