It’s sci-fi about women, and made by women.
One of my personal Top 10 favorite horror movies that screened at 2018’s Fantastic Fest is Level 16. The easiest way to describe the film would be: It’s a young adult version of The Handmaid’s Tale. But Level 16 doesn’t take place in some distant dystopia, rather it exists in a world that could, potentially, be tomorrow—or even today. If you weren’t lucky enough to catch the movie on the festival circuit, today we have release information.

Level 16 will enjoy a limited theatrical run while simultaneously dropping on multiple VOD platforms beginning March 1st, 2019 via Dark Sky Films. You can give the trailer a spin at the top of the article and read the synopsis below.
Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Vivien is trapped in The
Vestalis Academy, a prison-like boarding school, keeping to herself and
sticking her neck out for no one. Until she is reunited with Sophia — the
former friend who betrayed her. Together the girls embark on a dangerous search
to uncover the horrifying truth behind their imprisonment. Soon running for
their lives, the girls must save themselves or die trying.
Level 16 was written and directed by Danishka Esterhazy and stars Katie Douglas, Celina Martin, and Sara Canning.
