Grief Turns Supernatural in Martin Melnick’s Lilly Lives Alone

Haunted by Grief | Lilly Lives Alone Hits Theaters August 22

Loneliness is a plague that eats away at us, often masked by fleeting distractions and harmful escapes. In Martin Melnick’s Lilly Lives Alone, we meet a woman consumed by grief and desperate for connection—only to find herself dragged deeper into a chilling spiral she can’t escape.

Starring Shannon Beeby (Orange is the New Black, New Amsterdam), Ryan Jonze (The Blacklist, When They See Us), Erin Way (The Handmaid’s Tale, Save the Date), and genre icon Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, The Frighteners), this psychological horror blends raw emotional trauma with a supernatural edge that lingers long after the credits roll.

Ten years after the sudden death of her young daughter, Lilly (Beeby) struggles daily with grief, buried childhood scars, and a string of meaningless hookups that serve only to numb her pain. But when her latest fling, Jed (Jonze), enters her life as the 10th anniversary of her daughter’s death looms, her fragile world unravels. Drowning in alcohol, pills, and terrifying hallucinations, Lilly is forced to confront the ghosts of her past—some from her mind, and others that may be horrifyingly real.

From Yellow Veil Pictures and Dark Sky Films, Lilly Lives Alone promises a deeply unsettling descent into grief, madness, and the blurred line between psychological torment and supernatural terror.

In theaters August 22nd.
