Let's Be Evil — Trailer

added: Mon, Jul 11th '16

They often say children are our future. But who knew the future would be a terrifying form of augmented reality.

Check out the trailer for "Let's Be Evil," an indie sci-fi, horror thriller that's told mostly through the use of augmented reality glasses (think Google Glass meets first-person video games), and centers on three amateur chaperones who have been hired to look after a top-secret group of gifted children with the power to either save the future or end it.

Starring newcomer Elizabeth Morris (who also co-wrote the screenplay), Elliot James Langridge (Northern Soul), Kara Tointon (Mr. Selfridge) and Isabelle Allen (Les Miserables) as a creepy young girl named Cassandra, the film comes from indie filmmaker Martin Owen, the director of "L.A. Slasher."

"Let's Be Evil" premiered in January at Slamdance. It's now set to hit theaters and VOD on August 5th.

synopsis:
Step into a virtual reality nightmare. Desperately in need of money to care for a sick parent, Jenny (Elizabeth Morris) takes a job supervising children at a learning center for gifted students. But when she and two other new employees are ushered into a maximum-security underground bunker where eerily robotic children are outfitted with augmented reality glasses, Jenny finds herself thrust into a disturbing technological experiment in which she is an unwitting player in a terrifying virtual game. This future shock brain-bender is a creepy kids thriller for our tech-addicted culture.
