The widely anticipated psychological horror-thriller, DON’T LET THEM OUT, is set for its west coast debut this October, premiering in theaters at three notable L.A. Film Festivals.
The film stars Bonnie Root (CRUEL HEARTS, NO WAY TO LIVE, COLD CASE), as the broke, struggling, and grieving woman who journeys to a desert property she has inherited in hopes of selling it to pay off her crippling debts, erase her past mistakes, and start a fresh new chapter. Soon after arriving, she is thrust into a harrowing nightmare, uncovering sinister tales about her family’s past and witnessing terrifying events that question her safety and sanity.

The film is the directorial debut of Lila McLaughlin, who also wrote the script and produced the project.
“It’s been a wild roller-coaster ride to get this film made and completed. So it’s very exciting to now be able to share this raw and gutsy psychological horror-thriller and its relatable message with L.A. audiences.” said McLaughlin.
The supporting cast features notable actors Louis Ferreira (SHOGUN, HOUSE OF DAVID, BREAKING BAD, SAW IV) and Emily Rios (IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK, SNOWFALL, BREAKING BAD).
