Deep in Germany’s forests, a group of young models attend a wellness retreat. After a night of partying, they encounter a terrifying presence in the darkness. What they dismiss as a hallucination soon becomes real when one of them begins to change. As her behavior and physical condition become increasingly disturbing, the situation escalates into a fight for life and death — putting friendship and love to the ultimate test.

DON’T KILL LORETTA is an English-language horror feature written and directed by Oliver Kienle, creator of BAD BANKS (International Emmy nomination) and the global Netflix hit SIXTY MINUTES. Produced by X Filme Creative Pool (THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT, CLOUD ATLAS) and DOR Film (WOODWALKERS, SISI & I), the film blends psychological tension with an international cast and high-end special effects make-up by the teams behind MATRIX RESURRECTIONS, GAME OF THRONES and BABYLON BERLIN.
