Shining Vale is a horror and comedy series, focusing on a dysfunctional family that moves from the city, to a small town. The house they move into, however, breathes tragedy as awful events have taken place in the family’s new home.
No one except Pat (Courtney Cox) seems to notice the strange feeling the house exudes, which leads her to believe she’s either depressed or possessed...
Light will be playing Joan, Pat’s lithium-infused mother, who has been battling with not only her mental illness, but her daughter too. Joan appears to be the nightmare mother; self-obsessed and critical of every move her daughter makes, and takes every opportunity to wish back her youth.
Despite her new home becoming increasingly harder to live in, it seems that for Pat, being blamed for your mother’s problems and being belittled at every turn by her own mother, is the real horror that Pat must face.
Pat seems to be a lively character, despite her downfalls and personal issues. She rose to fame by writing a women’s empowerment novel (otherwise known as ‘lady porn’) while she was filled with drugs and alcohol on a regular basis.
17 years later, Pat is unfulfilled, but at least she’s sober. The reason for Pat and her family to move into the new, eerie house is due to a blunder Pat had with a handyman, and the relocation appears to be a last-ditch effort to save their marriage.
Everyone has demons to deal with, but Pat might just have to come face-to-face with the real thing.
Despite having no trailer or release date for Shining Vale, the series seems to be one to keep an eye out for. Cox will no doubt deliver a stellar performance, as will guest star Light as she plays a hellish mother to Cox’s character, Pat.
