IN ASSOCIATION WITH PRPL FILM

MR LONELY is a chilling horror short directed by David-Jan Bronsgeest, written by Marc Bloom, and produced by Tim Koomen. Originally developed as a proof of concept, the film quickly attracted attention and was optioned by Spyglass Media Group and Phantom Four, as reported by Deadline.

Now, Mr Lonely is finally available to watch for the first time. This newly released version features updated music and standout performances by Richelle Plantinga, Zoë Love Smith, Megan de Kruijf, and Kevin Stayner.

MR. LONELY embodies the horror of our isolation, a mythical boogeyman born out of our inability to make lasting and meaningful connections. A being that will only come for you... when you’re alone. Three best friends, attempting to reconnect after many years, summon Mr. Lonely with frightening consequences, and find themselves fighting for survival against a supernatural menace

While Mr Lonely was never intended for the festival circuit, its return marks an important step toward the full-length feature version: currently in development under the Bloodrave banner. Given the path of Meet Jimmy - from a 2018 short to a Paramount-backed Hollywood production and eventually a full-fledged Dutch feature on Amazon Prime - Mr Lonely is poised to follow in its footsteps.

Stay close. Don’t be alone.
