‘The Quiet Ones’ Trailer – ‘Black Swan’ Meets ‘Ingrid Goes West’ in Influencer Horror

Not to be confused with the 2014 film of the same name, The Quiet Ones will be released on VOD on August 5 via The Horror Collective.

Written and directed by Nicholas Winter, the UK horror thriller is described as “blending the psychological tension of Black Swan and Ingrid Goes West with the toxic allure of influencer culture.”

Following the sudden death of her estranged father, Charlotte inherits not only his lavish home—but also his crushing debts. Desperate to avoid losing everything, she turns to her new friend Danni, who proposes an unconventional solution: monetize the mansion by hosting a wild online content house.

With a cast of hot, young influencer hopefuls behind a paywall, the cash starts flowing—but so does something far more sinister. As the experiment spirals out of control, Charlotte is plunged into a deadly war of escalating egotism and dangerously self-destructive personalities.

Kelsey Cooke, Sophie Ablett, Isadora Leiva, Alina Tamara, Sofia Shallai, and Alicia Grace Turrell star.

“This story explores the collision between grief, ambition, and the digital age,” says Winter. “I wanted to examine how far people are willing to go to be seen—and how easily that pursuit can spiral into something truly terrifying.”

“The film speaks directly to a generation raised on virality and haunted by the pressures that come with it,” adds The Horror Collective’s Shaked Berenson. “We’re excited to spotlight a filmmaker who captures that tension with both style and substance.”
