SYNOPSIS:
Ten years ago, Lilly (Shannon Beeby) suffered the most painful tragedy that could befall any mother: the sudden death of her young daughter. Over the last decade, the trauma of losing her child has collided with dark memories of a similarly painful childhood of her own, turning her current life into a mess of psychological torment and the occasional meaningless hookup, the latter meant to fill the giant hole in her heart.
Her latest hookup, Jed (Ryan Jonze), enters Lilly’s world at a particularly trying time, with the 10-year anniversary of her daughter’s death triggering a downward spiral of alcohol and pills. There are also the hallucinations she can’t shake, which could stem from her deteriorating mental state but may also be coming from something much more dangerous, something supernatural. As Lilly struggles to cope with everything, the ghosts of her past strengthen their grip, leading to unspeakable horrors.
LILLY LIVES ALONE

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING...
"Lilly Lives Alone is a feverish and deeply nuanced study in trauma, isolation, and the vicious cycles they trap us in... [It] is disorienting, confusing, distressing, and utterly brilliant in its execution."
- DREAD CENTRAL
"Lilly Lives Alone is a haunting mystery... If vibes and riddles without answers are your jam, then this might be the movie for you."
- HORROR PRESS
"A haunting journey through loneliness and loss."
- CREEPY KINGDOM
