The World Premiere of the horror film Home Sweet Home – Where Evil Lives was announced today and is set to screen at FrightFest this August. The first image, featuring Nilam Farooq also arrived today (via Variety) giving us our first glimpse at the film.
The “one-shot” horror film is told in real-time and “follows heavily pregnant Maria (Nilam Farooq) as she returns alone to the remote country house of her father-in-law (Von Dohnányi). She has no idea what secrets are lurking within. As she investigates strange occurrences, including a sudden power outage while talking to her fiancé Viktor (David Kross), Maria descends to the basement and hears eerie noises and mysterious breathing, unaware of a ghostly presence behind her. Determined to uncover the truth, she discovers a hidden room revealing a terrible family secret. Panic sets in as Maria tries to flee back to town, only to find her car key missing. She enters an eerie and dramatic night, fighting not only for her own life.”
Farooq (“Heilstätten,” “Contra”), Justus von Dohnányi (The Experiment), and David Kross (“The Reader”) star in the film directed by Thomas Sieben (Kidnapping Stella).
Following its screening at FrightFest, Home Sweet Home – Where Evil Lives will open in theaters in Germany on January 25, 2024.
