Bravo, Somewhere Quiet. Your teaser trailer’s job is done. Now I want to know where we’ll be able to watch this horror movie and when.
I know some lucky viewers have already had a chance to watch. The movie had its world premiere at the Tribeca 2023 Film Festival on Thursday, June 8. It was an official selection in the US Narrative Competition. But I haven’t yet figured out if it’ll release in theaters or anywhere we can stream it.
All I know is writer/director Olivia West Lloyd explores an interesting question in her feature film debut, “What happens to the Final Girl after the credits roll?”
Let’s look at what we know about the movie so far, starting with the synopsis.
Somewhere Quiet Synopsis
Here’s the synopsis that accompanied a press release about the movie:
Months after escaping a brutal kidnapping, Meg travels with her husband, Scott, to his family’s isolated compound in Cape Cod, hoping the early winter quiet will give her space to recover and for them to reconnect. Shortly after they arrive, however, the couple discovers they are not alone on the property. Scott’s charming but overbearing cousin, Madelin, is staying next door. To Meg’s surprise, the two are quite close and soon Madelin’s presence is inescapable.
With each passing day Meg and Scott’s already fragile relationship begins to fracture, while Meg is haunted by vivid nightmares, visions of an old woman lurking in the woods, and a growing suspicion that Scott and Madelin are hiding something from her.
As the tension in the house grows, Meg begins to act out in increasingly reckless ways, setting into motion a series of disturbing events that shatters the thin barrier of civility between her and the cousins. Subtle manipulation gives way to violent confrontation as Scott and Madelin reveal their troubling history and Meg learns the truth about her abduction.
Somewhere Quiet Cast
The movie stars Jennifer Kim (She Dies Tomorrow), Kentucker Audley (who was also in She Dies Tomorrow), Micheál Neeson (who’s credited as Micheál Richardson), and Marin Ireland (The Boogeyman).
Fun fact: Micheál Neeson is the son of actors Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson.

What did you think of the trailer? Did it grab your attention too?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
