“The Pishach doesn’t kill you right away… it feeds on you slowly.” Neon has debuted another official trailer for the horror film titled It Lives Inside, a strong feature debut from filmmaker Bishal Dutta. It premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival where it won the Midnight Audience Award. Sam is desperate to fit in at school, rejecting her Indian culture & family to be like everyone else. When a mythological demonic spirit latches onto her former best friend, she must come to terms with her own heritage in order to defeat it. The initial inspiration emerged from the filmmaker’s experiences of being born in India, and raised in America. The story is based on a Hindu demonic legend and a very personal family story from Dutta’s grandfather. Starring Megan Suri as Samidha, Neeru Bajwa, Mohana Krishnan, Betty Gabriel, Vik Sahay, and Gage Marsh. This looks utterly terrifying, with some seriously scary scenes teased in this quick new trailer.
Here’s the second official trailer (+ poster) for Bishal Dutta’s It Lives Inside, from Neon’s YouTube:
