‘Somewhere Quiet’ – Exclusive Teaser Instills Paranoia As It Questions What Happens to the Final Girl After She Survives
Writer/Director Olivia West Lloyd’s feature debut, Somewhere Quiet, interrogates what happens to the Final Girl after the credits roll.
Ahead of the film’s world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive teaser trailer that teases the haunting paranoia and unsettled sense of reality from surviving trauma.
In the film, “Months after escaping a brutal kidnapping, Meg travels with her husband, Scott, to his family’s isolated compound in Cape Cod, hoping the early winter quiet will give her space to recover and for them to reconnect. Shortly after they arrive, however, the couple discovers they are not alone on the property. Scott’s charming but overbearing cousin, Madelin, is staying next door. To Meg’s surprise, the two are quite close, and soon, Madelin’s presence is inescapable. With each passing day, Meg and Scott’s already fragile relationship begins to fracture, while Meg is haunted by vivid nightmares, visions of an old woman lurking in the woods, and a growing suspicion that Scott and Madelin are hiding something from her.
As the tension in the house grows, Meg begins to act out in increasingly reckless ways, setting into motion a series of disturbing events that shatters the thin barrier of civility between her and the cousins. Subtle manipulation gives way to violent confrontation as Scott and Madelin reveal their troubling history, and Meg learns the truth about her abduction.”
Somewhere quiet stars Jennifer Kim (She Dies Tomorrow), Kentucker Audley (V/H/S, She Dies Tomorrow), Marin Ireland (The Boogeyman, The Dark and the Wicked), and Micheál Neeson.
West Lloyd said in a director’s statement, “I began writing the script for Somewhere Quiet after watching a particularly brutal horror film. The final frame was of a girl – covered in blood, the rest of her group dead – waiting for the police to arrive. The film ended there, but it didn’t feel over to me. What happens to the girl who survives? If she’s lucky, she gets to go home. For a while, everyone will swarm her: her family, her friends, the media. But over time, those people will slip back into their normal routines, swallowed by the minutiae of their own lives. The news will forget about her, finding some new tragedy to obsess over. She will return to the mundane, carrying what happened to her into every banal moment of her forever-altered present.”
Somewhere Quiet makes its World Premiere tomorrow night, with subsequent screenings to follow:
Thursday, June 8 at 9:30pm – World Premiere
Friday, June 9 at 6:15pm
Wednesday, June 14 at 5:30pm
Tribeca Film Festival tickets are available now.
Stayed tuned for Bloody Disgusting’s full Tribeca 2023 coverage.

‘Five Must Die’ Exclusive First Look -Six Strangers. One Mansion. A Violent Supernatural Entity.
The upcoming supernatural horror movie Five Must Die is being compared to films like Ready or Not, Ghostbusters, and even Men in Black, and we’ve got an exclusive first look.
Check out the first images from Five Must Die below and read on for more.
A chilling new chapter in supernatural horror is preparing to consume audiences as director, and co-writer Ryan Kelly unleashes the occult thriller Five Must Die.
Five Must Die is said to be a high-concept supernatural thriller that fuses the tension of Ready or Not and the meta-horror energy of The Cabin in the Woods with the conspiracy edge of Men in Black and the supernatural flair of Ghostbusters.
Co-written by David Landau, the film stars Beth Broderick (“Sabrina the Teenage Witch”) alongside Jared P-Smith (“The Equalizer”) and an ensemble cast.
In Five Must Die, six strangers awaken trapped inside a sprawling mansion. None of them know each other, and none understand why they are there — until an agent from the Federal Bureau of Paranormal Containment informs them that a violent spirit has marked them as its targets.
As paranoia, fear, and supernatural attacks tear the group apart, the mansion becomes a crucible where hidden pasts are revealed, and moral choices turn deadly. The line between possession, free will, and vengeance begins to blur, and only those willing to confront their guilt may have a chance to survive.
“I’ve always loved films that are contained to a single location, and I’m a big fan of ensemble casts,” says Ryan Kelly. “This project brings those elements together and filters them through horror, comedy, and a bit of an Agatha Christie-style mystery. That combination — tight, character-driven, but still fun, unpredictable, and surprising — is exactly the kind of movie I love to watch.”
Kelly continues, “I wanted to create something in the spirit of the films I grew up with — high-concept stories with strong characters, big audience moments, and real emotion beneath the spectacle. That’s the feeling I’m chasing with Five Must Die, and if we can capture even a piece of it, I’ll be thrilled.”
Helping to bring his vision to life is veteran Broadway and film producer Michael Alden (Kissing Jessica Stein, Unzipped, The Zookeeper, Batboy: The Musical, Grey Gardens, The King’s Speech). Additionally, Academy Award Winner Cecelia Hall (The Hunt for Red October, Top Gun) serves as the film’s Creative Consultant.
Sarah Baskin (Gossip Girl: Next Gen), Vandit Bhatt (“New Amsterdam,” “Quantico”), Gabrielle DuBrul, Briana Femia, Chris Maher, Carmen Salta, Taylor Selé (“Godfather of Harlem,” “Survival of the Thickest”), and Andrew Ximenes also star.
Alden produces alongside Steve Barton (Terrifier 2, George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead, E! True Hollywood Story), Kelly Hall, Ryan Kelly, Michael Kuciak (Death Metal, From the Shadows, Killer Party), Christopher Massimine (“The Inventor,” Off Broadway’s “Fiddler on the Roof” in Yiddish), and Ryan Savini. Paul Filanowski, Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Ryan Koppelman, Jared P-Smith, Jane Petrov, Bev Ragovoy, Cheri Reeve, Kat Schon, Penny Stephenson, Barry Wolfe, Laurrelle Wolfe, and Andrew Ximenes executive-produce.
