Posted on by

i-will-never-leave-you-aloneDark Sky Films is set to release date supernatural thriller “I Will Never Leave You Alone” to VOD/Digital Platforms on October 18, 2024.

Richard is a mute who is on parole from prison and has been released into the mandatory custody of a superstitious real estate investor who pays him to stay alone in a haunted house for six days to rid it of evil spirits. This is his chance to return to a normal life, but there’s a dark catch: if he fails to stay all six nights, the investor will send him back to prison.

Once on the isolated property, Richard finds a creepy, old doll that unleashes the evil spirit of a witch murdered on the property centuries ago. The witch haunts him and eventually tortures him using the painful memories that led him to prison. Pushed to his limit after a few days, he can’t leave or stay.

Unable to ask for help or even scream, Richard is trapped and alone, struggling to cope with haunting as it destroys his reality. There’s no telling what Richard will do if the witch-ghost fully invades his mind.

Written and directed by DW Medoff (Pollen, Sheep), “I Will Never Leave You Alone” stars Kenneth Trujillo (The Girl from Plainville, Better Call Saul, Die Hart); Katerina Eichenberger (Monarch, Places, Please, Secrets Beneath the Floorboards); Christopher Genovese (Other Things, Baby Bird); Emma Wedemeyer (First Kill, Haunted Mansion); Kimberly Maxwell (Raising Dion, The Game, A Friend of the Family); Pierce Lackey (Stranger Things, Doom Patrol, Jesus Revolution); Katy Wilson (A Rose for Her Grave: The Randy Roth Story, A Christmas Open House, Heels); Alex Parkinson (For All Mankind).
