LET HER OUT

Cinemavixion Review

Cody Calahan's 2016 horror offering, "Let Her Out," delves into the unsettling psychological territory of a woman grappling with her own identity after a traumatic event. Alanna LeVierge stars as Helen, a bike courier whose life takes a dark turn following an accident. The film masterfully blurs the lines between reality and hallucination as Helen begins to experience disturbing blackouts and visions. The narrative skillfully unspools the revelation that these episodes are influenced by a dangerous entity within her: the remnants of a "vanishing twin" absorbed in utero, manifesting as a malevolent alter ego. This premise allows for a potent exploration of internal conflict and the terror of losing control over one's own mind. While the film may not have garnered widespread mainstream attention, its critical reception, particularly the impressive 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, suggests a compelling and effective horror experience. "Let Her Out" is a chilling descent into psychological dread that fans of the genre will find particularly rewarding.
