🕯️🌙 DON’T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS (2024): Some fears thrive in the dark.

"She thought darkness was just absence—until it began to watch her back."

In this chilling psychological horror, darkness becomes a predator—and the only refuge is under the unrelenting glow of a single lamp. Don’t Turn Out the Lights explores the haunting truth that evil hides in shadows we dare not face.

College freshman Isla (Anya Taylor-Joy) moves into an upper-floor apartment plagued by blackouts. During one power outage, she witnesses something—something that defies explanation: a figure so dark it seems born from the very absence of light. Terrified, she installs a solitary lamp that glows without ever dimming. But staying awake comes at a cost: relentless sleepless nights, fraying sanity, and a growing wonder—maybe the darkness knows she’s watching.

As the lamp’s glow warps reality—casting impossible shadows and revealing hidden messages scrawled on her walls—Isla finds herself both hunter and hunted. Sleep brings visions; wakefulness brings the figure’s whispering presence. And soon, she realizes the monster may not be outside—but inside her mind, feeding off her fear.

Don’t Turn Out the Lights is a slow-burning descent into obsession, memory, and the fragile boundary between perception and nightmare. With no respite from the light, Isla must decide: stay awake forever… or look away and be consumed.
