After watching Somewhere Quiet, I felt really shaken up. Olivia West Lloyd’s horror thriller film explores Meg’s emotional state as a woman who went through severe psychological turmoil after being kidnapped. As viewers, one could really feel Meg’s pain and state of confusion as she struggled to make sense of everything that was happening to her. It was like being in a scary dream, where nothing felt quite real around her. Meg’s husband, Scott, didn’t seem to understand what she was going through, and his cousin, Madelin, was downright mean to her, which made the situation worse. Somewhere Quiet had this spooky vibe throughout its runtime, which just made everything feel even more scary.

A brand new take on the classic tale of Frankenstein, Sundance horror movie birth/rebirth is on the way from IFC Films and Shudder, arriving exclusively in theaters only on August 18. Ahead of its release, Bloody Disgusting has been provided with an exclusive clip introducing its central characters through an intense confrontation.
In the film, “Rose (Marin Ireland) is a pathologist who prefers working with corpses over social interaction. She also has an obsession — the reanimation of the dead. Celie (Judy Reyes) is a maternity nurse who has built her life around her bouncy, chatterbox six-year-old daughter, Lila (A.J. Lister). When one tragic night, Lila suddenly falls ill and dies, the two women’s worlds crash into each other. They embark on a dark path of no return where they will be forced to confront how far they are willing to go to protect what they hold most dear.”

Writer/Director Olivia West Lloyd’s feature debut, Somewhere Quiet, picks up after a Final Girl has survived her horror story to examine the psychological toll of surviving. Emphasis on psychological; Somewhere Quiet isn’t interested in the inciting horror event itself but rather in interrogating the complexities that survival brings. It results in a self-assured, genre-bending debut that plunges its heroine into a paranoid nightmare where reality is never what it seems.
We meet Meg (Jennifer Kim) amidst a harrowing escape, bloodied and wandering the street alone. Her husband Scott (Kentucker Audley) comes from an affluent family, and kidnappers held Meg captive at ransom for months until she managed to escape. Readjusting to everyday life isn’t easy for Meg, so Scott suggests a quiet weekend away at his family’s seaside estate. Plans for relaxation and recovery go awry when Scott’s cousin Madeline (Marin Ireland) arrives unannounced.
