It’s a supernatural chiller from the producing team behind GET OUT.

Neon will release IT LIVES INSIDE later this year, following its festival play at SXSW (where it won the Midnighter Audience Award) and the Overlook Film Fest. Written and directed by Bishal Dutta, from a story he wrote with Ashish Mehta, it stars Megan Suri, Neeru Bajwa, Mohana Krishman, Vik Sahay, Gage Marsh, Beatrice Kitsos and Betty Gabriel. The synopsis: Sam [Suri] is desperate to fit in at school, rejecting her Indian culture and family to be like everyone else. When a mythological demonic spirit latches onto her former best friend, she must come to terms with her heritage in order to defeat it.”
