Appropriately enough for the approach of October, new horror film Lyle is slated for release on DVD and VOD on September 29th. The film features Gabby Hoffman (Girls, Transparent) and Ingrid Jungermann as lesbian parents who find themselves in a nightmarish situation in their strange new apartment. According to the film’s synopsis:
Expecting couple Leah (Gaby Hoffmann) and June (Ingrid Jungermann) move into a Brooklyn brownstone apartment with their toddler daughter Lyle. Despite the strange baby-obsessed landlady downstairs and the group of female models who live above them, the two are happy with their new apartment until a bizarre accident leads to the death of Lyle. Months later, Leah is still grief-stricken, trying to make sense of Lyle’s death, her landlady’s odd behaviors, and her attraction to one of the models upstairs. As Leah prepares for her home birth, she begins to suspect the neighbors are involved in a satanic pact and fears for her unborn baby.
Hoffman won a Grand Jury Prize for Best Actress for the film at OutFest 2014. Watch a clip from Lyle below:
