📰
🎬 In a world where growing up could mean death, Don’t Grow Up delivers a gripping twist on the zombie genre. This French-British horror thriller, directed by Thierry Poiraud, explores what happens when the adults — not the kids — become the monsters.
📖 Plot SnapsH๏τ:
A group of rebellious teenagers living in a youth detention center wakes up to find that the adult population has mysteriously turned into violent, mindless killers. With no guidance and no safety, they must navigate a crumbling world, but the clock is ticking: aging might turn them into the enemy too. As the group battles both external threats and inner divisions, the question becomes: how do you survive when even maturity is a death sentence?
🎭 What Makes It Stand Out:
Rather than relying on gore alone, Don’t Grow Up taps into psychological horror, exploring themes of innocence lost, survival under pressure, and the fear of becoming what you dread. It’s a film as much about growing up as it is about running from death — quite literally.
🧠 A Hidden Gem for Horror Fans:
While not a blockbuster, this movie gained cult attention for its gritty realism and haunting message. The cinematography is raw, the performances are intense, and the atmosphere is suffocating in the best way possible.
👉 If you liked 28 Days Later, The Girl with All the Gifts, or It Follows, Don’t Grow Up is worth adding to your horror list.
🎥 Sometimes survival means staying young — forever.
