Dark Sky Films has set an August 22 release date for Lilly Lives Alone, a psychological horror feature from first-time director Martin Melnick. The film will be available both in theaters and via digital platforms, in collaboration with indie distributor Yellow Veil Pictures.

The story follows Lilly (Shannon Beeby), a woman grappling with the trauma of losing her daughter a decade earlier. As the anniversary of her child’s death approaches, Lilly begins to experience hallucinations that blur the line between psychological distress and possible supernatural events. The arrival of a new acquaintance, Jed (Ryan Jonze), coincides with a period of increased instability, forcing her to confront unresolved grief and buried memories.

The film also features Jeffrey Combs, known for his work in genre classics like Re-Animator, and Erin Way (The Handmaid’s Tale). Melnick also co-produced the film alongside Sarah Johnston.

Lilly Lives Alone will be available on major digital rental and purchase platforms starting August 22.

River of Blood, a survival horror film set in the depths of a remote jungle, is set for release on August 1, 2025.

Directed by Howard J Ford and written by Tom Boyle, the film stars Louis James, Sarah Alexandra Marks, and Joseph Millson.

The story follows two couples on a luxury holiday who hire a local guide for a kayaking trip. When one of them goes missing, the group ventures deeper into the jungle, only to find themselves on the territory of a cannibalistic tribe with a history of violent rituals. What begins as a getaway quickly turns into a struggle to stay alive.

Filmed in a lush, isolated setting, River of Blood blends traditional horror elements with survival thriller tropes, emphasizing atmosphere, physical tension, and isolation.
