IT LIVES INSIDE

 An Indian-American teenager struggling with her cultural identity has a falling out with her former best friend and, in the process, unwittingly releases a demonic entity that grows stronger by feeding on her loneliness.

Sam lives in an idyllic suburb with her conservative parents. During a fight with her troubled estranged friend, Tamira, she smashes a mysterious jar and unknowingly unleashes a bloodthirsty ancient Indian demon. What starts off as terrifying visions soon turn into a real life hell as Sam’s loved ones begin to be picked off one by one with gruesome results. In order to end this curse once and for all, Sam must reconnect with her culture and band together with her parents before it’s too late. Winner of the Midnighters Audience Award at SXSW 2023.
