Let's Be Evil

An unwitting woman slips into an underground bunker that doubles as a high security nerve center for a disquieting experiment. Inside, a cadre of exceptionally gifted children manipulate augmented reality to blur the line between play and harm. As the environment grows more immersive, reality itself becomes negotiable, and Jenny learns that the stakes are personal as well as dangerous. The setting pressurizes every decision with claustrophobic corridors, whirring machines, and screens that reflect not just images but choices. The film builds tension by letting the audience sense the kids' uncanny control while hinting at darker motives behind the project, without revealing all the causes behind the mayhem. It hints at unseen powers beyond the facility guiding a darker agenda.

Directed by Martin Owen, the film comes from an idea developed by Elizabeth Morris and Jonathan Willis. Released in 2016, it positions itself as a tense, technologically charged thriller with a focus on atmosphere and claustrophobic settings for adult audiences.
