The feature horror film It Lives Inside tells the thrilling story of a falling out between two teenage girls and a demonic entity that results because of it. On set, Dit Kevin Hawkins implemented a purposeful workflow with the entire Pomfort camera department ecosystem to hand off as much information as possible to post-production, which brought the added bonus of simplifying the jobs of the Dp, director, VFX supervisor, and second unit teams.
We got the chance to sit down with Kevin to learn more about the production and his workflow, but first, we asked Kevin to give us some background on himself and his professional life:
My name is Kevin Hawkins and I am an IATSE Icg Dit and colorist based out of Vancouver, Canada. After graduating from film school in 2001, I spent 10 years working as a freelance editor and videographer before moving to Vancouver to be closer to the film industry.

The supernatural horror film It Lives Inside, which stars Megan Suri of the Netflix series Never Have I Ever, didn’t draw in many viewers when it reached theatres last Friday. It had an opening weekend of $2.6 million and finished in seventh place on the top 10. Maybe it will do better when it reaches home video – and we can confirm that Distribution Solutions, a division of Alliance Entertainment, will be giving the film a DVD release on November 7th. Copies are available for pre-order at This Link. We don’t have any information on a Blu-ray or 4K release at this time, but Amazon is also accepting pre-orders for the Prime Video digital release.
It’s a shame It Lives Inside didn’t have better box office, as it was good enough to earn an 8/10 review from JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols. That review can be read Here. The film...

Neon’s second trailer for It Lives Inside is incredibly creepy without being too spoiler-ish. Written and directed by Bishal Dutta, the PG-13 horror film is a unique twist on a demonic possession story.
“It Lives Inside emerged as an image: a kid on a bike, riding through Rockwellian suburbs. It’s right out of an early Amblin film. But what if this kid was escaping a puja, her school outfit wrapped in an ornate dupatta? For me, that image spoke to the duality I felt growing up as a first-generation immigrant in America. ‘Where do I belong? Which country is my home? Which world is ultimately mine?'” explained Dutta.
The cast includes Megan Suri, Neeru Bajwa, Mohana Krishnan, Vik Sahay, Gage Marsh, Beatrice Kitsos, and Betty Gabriel.
Get Out‘s Raymond Mansfield and Sean McKittrick served as producers. Edward H. Hamm Jr, Jameson Parker, Arielle Boisvert, and Shawn Williamson executive produce.

Neon’s set a September 22, 2023 theatrical release date for the creepy horror film It Lives Inside. The coming-of-age horror debuted at SXSW and took home the Midnighter Audience Award.
The trailer shows two Indian teenagers going face-to-face with a demonic creature, and writer/director Bishal Dutta says his inspiration came from growing up on American horror movies.
“After I moved to North America from India at the age of four, a lot of my social education came from watching American horror films. I always wondered, what were families like mine doing while Bruce the shark tore through Amity’s waters, while Freddy Krueger slashed teenagers in the dreamscape, and while Jack Torrance chased his son through the maze-like halls of the Overlook?’ As it developed, It Lives Inside formed its own dual identity much like mine,” explained Dutta. “On one hand, it is a love letter to the community and...

Neon hasn’t announced a specific release date for their supernatural horror film It Lives Inside, but they have unveiled a trailer that gives a good idea of what we can expect to see in this movie when it does make its way out into the world. You can take a look at that trailer in the embed above.
As you can see in the trailer, It Lives Inside received some very positive reviews after screening at the SXSW film festival.
The film stars Megan Suri of the Netflix series Never Have I Ever and drops her into the following unnerving story: Sam is desperate to fit in at school, rejecting her Indian culture and family to be like everyone else. Whena mythological demonic spirit latches onto her former best friend, she must come to terms with herheritage in order to defeat it.

Bishal Dutta's "It Lives Inside" is a demonic horror tale that plays recognizable genre hits with a cultural twist. The struggles of being non-white in America are carried by a high school girl who downplays her Indian heritage — only to have it come roaring back with a vengeance. Dutta doesn't hide influences in spotlight set pieces from "The Ring" to "It Follows" (intentional or not) because if it ain't broke, yadda yadda yadda? Scary is scary! "It Lives Inside" asserts its importance as an Indian-American ode to the outsiders stuck trying to live two separate lives and succeeds as a crossroads between international flavors and domestic horror mindsets.
Megan Suri stars as Indian teenager Samidha (Sam to her friends), an American girl with Indian heritage. At home, Samidha's mother Poorna (Neeru Bajwa) stresses the importance of traditions as a proud Indian woman. At Wooderson Grove High School, Sam spends...
