Let’s Be Evil

Official Selection – Slamdance 2016
Three chaperones are hired to supervise an advanced learning program for gifted children, who wear Augmented Reality Glasses to assist in their education. Contained within a secure, underground facility, events quickly spiral out of control.
A modern sci-fi thriller that takes as inspiration the ‘evil children’ subgenre of horror and infuses it with innovative virtual reality effects and stylish direction, Let’s Be Evil is an unnerving exploration of the next generation of fear.
“A FRESH TAKE ON THE DOWNSIDE OF TECHNOLOGY.”

–WE ARE INDIE HORROR
“LET’S BE EVIL IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. IT’S WICKEDLY SMART, VERY INVENTIVE AND SHOT BEAUTIFULLY.”
–FLICKERING MYTH
