Genre: Horror, Thriller, Sci-Fi | Directed by: Thierry Poiraud
Starring: Fergus Riordan, Madeleine Kelly, McKell David, Darren Evans
In a secluded juvenile detention center on a remote island, a group of six teenagers wake up to find the adult staff missing. What starts as an opportunity for mischief quickly spirals into horror when they discover the truth: a strange outbreak has turned every adult into a mindless, violent killer.
The infection doesn’t spread through bites or blood—it arrives with age. As soon as someone matures, they lose control and become homicidal. Now, the teens must navigate a crumbling world filled with danger and madness, where growing older means losing everything—even your soul.
As fear, distrust, and internal conflicts tear at the group, the greatest threat may not be what’s outside—but the ticking clock inside each of them. How long before one of them changes? And what would you do to avoid becoming what you fear?
Don’t Grow Up is a chilling blend of dystopian survival horror and psychological tension, capturing the terrifying idea that the most dangerous transformation isn’t caused by a virus—it’s called adulthood.
