MOVIE NEWS – After the recent Bed of the Dead and this week’s home release of Bite, we can just see another chilling Canadian horror movie, called Let Her Out, which is the latest undertaking from the ever-creative minds at Black Fawn Films.

Directors Cody Calahan’s Let Her Out is a movie with an unsettling premise, which firmly grounds the scares by setting things against an urban backdrop so as to invoke “a slow-building anxiety attack” in audiences.

Written by Adam Seybold and starring Alanna LeVierge, Nina Kiri, and Adam Christie, Let Her Out narrates the tormented story of young bike courier Helen (LeVierge), who suffers sudden inexplicable blackouts and hallucinations. She discovers soon enough the horrific truth that it’s a benign tumor causing her symptoms, and even worst: the sarcoma is the remains of her “vanishing twin sister” that was absorbed in utero.

Her evil twin has been cooped up way too long and wants out of her cage; she starts urging Helen to act out her psychotic plan, putting everyone in Helen’s midst in danger.

Commenting on the film in a recent interview with Dread, Calahan stated, “The vanishing twin story the film is inspired by is a real thing and a lot more common than people think. It’s a crazy high percentage of people who lose one of their twins in the first stage of pregnancy, and it’s usually absorbed into the mother, but it can be absorbed into the other child. It’s pretty intense stuff, to begin with so at first we didn’t know how to approach it because we started doing research and it was like, “Oh my God! I don’t even know how to step into this.” But I think we found a different way to look at it rather than taking the super medical approach in the end.”

In anticipation of Let Her Out‘s world premiere this August 25 at The Horror Channel FrightFest in London, the first trailer has finally been released, which you can savor below.
