PopHorror Let's Get Scared
Screening soon at the New Jersey Film Festival is a new found footage film from director Sam Freeman: Don’t Look in the Dark. The film stars Ryder Freeman, Rebi Paganini (One Night Stand), and Dennis Puglisi (Vederci!).
Synopsis
Golan and Maya travel to the Pinelands National Reserve for a quiet camping trip meant to honor Maya’s late father and prepare for the birth of their child. Without their knowledge, their phones begin recording on their own, capturing broken and intermittent audio and video as night falls. When Maya becomes convinced she sees a young child lurking near an overturned tree, her maternal instincts pull the couple deeper into the woods, where perception fractures and escape becomes uncertain. As darkness consumes both the environment and the footage itself, the film forces the audience to question what is being seen, what is being hidden, and whether watching is part of the danger.
Check out the trailer below:
The film will screen at Rutgers University on January 31, 2026 as part of the New Jersey Film Festival.
