TelevisaUnivision’s Videocine and film distributor FilmSharks have recently unveiled a terrifying trailer for the upcoming horror/thriller “Don’t Leave the Kids Alone,” directed by Emilio Portes, renowned Mexican filmmaker behind “Belzebuth” and “Pastorela.” After its debut at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and screenings at BIFF and Fantaspoa, this movie is scheduled to make its Mexican premiere in June at the Guadalajara Film Festival.
1980s, in a world without digital screens, the story unfolds with Catalina (Ana Serradilla), a widow who finds herself in a predicament when she leaves her sons Mati and Emi unattended for an evening. A simple dispute over a video game morphs into a chilling ordeal as an unknown entity starts to control their relationship, amplifying their fears and suspicions, and stirring up dark imaginings.
According to FilmSharks CEO Guido Rud, who presented the movie at Berlinale’s EFM this year, “This film is a jewel within its genre.” He also mentioned that it is skillfully made and possesses both the profound storytelling and stylish flair of some top-notch American directors currently active in the industry.
The project, recognized for blending emotional intensity with chilling supernatural elements, is referred to by its creator as “a personal expedition into our childhood memories.” The movie delves into the thrill and peril of being left alone when creativity and fear intersect in a time before digital technology. He elaborates that it revolves around the competition between siblings, their unbreakable connection, and the impulse to be an only child – a fantasy born out of innocence.
Supported by one of the largest film production companies in Latin America, and with Videocine holding distribution rights for both North and South America, “Don’t Leave the Kids Alone” is expected to make a significant impact as one of the top horror films of 2025 in the region.
Additionally featuring José Sefami (“Love’s a Bitch”) and debutant Juan Pablo Velasco, this production offers a blend of emotion and terror, serving as a chilling recollection of the fear felt when being a child, all by yourself in the dark.
