It doesn’t move, it doesn’t think, it just kills… introducing ‘the mannequin’ in horror thriller DON’T LOOK AWAY, released in the UK on Digital Platforms from 25th September 2023.
From award-winning writer/director Michael Bafaro (The Barber), DON’T LOOK AWAY stars Kelly Bastard, in her debut feature, as Frankie, a college student who accidentally unleashes a curse, and is stalked by a seemingly unstoppable – and murderous – mannequin.
Brilliantly inventive and delivering some superbly scary set-pieces, including a disturbing disco bloodbath – not to mention enough shocks that the film should come with a health warning – DON’T LOOK AWAY will have you jumping at shadows for days after. Kelly Bastard is outstanding in the lead role as a woman attempting to keep hold of her sanity, at the same time as unravelling the mystery of the murderous mannequin – a truly spooky character who could rightly take his place in the horror hall of fame.
Combining the stylish creeping tension of It Follows with the spine-tingling urban legend terror of Candyman, DON’T LOOK AWAY is a must-watch horror treat for fans of the likes of hit chillers Talk To Me, Smile and Megan. But don’t be a dummy – make sure you don’t watch it alone!
SYNOPSIS:
