Well now, where the hell has i-LIVED been? The film, which comes from Franck Khalfoun, the wild Frenchman behind the MANIAC remake and the upcoming AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING, was first announced over two years ago, but we’ve heard nary a peep since. Maybe because soon after said announcement, Khalfoun embarked on his AMITYVILLE odyssey, essentially purging i-LIVED from memory. It’s taken quite a while for either film to come out, but Khalfoun’s luck is changing, as i-LIVED will hit theaters next month and AMITYVILLE arrives in April 2016.

In any event, i-LIVED focuses on an ominous app that gives you everything you could ever want… at a deadly price, of course. The official synopsis, poster and trailer can all be found below:

Josh Fosse is a 20-something guy whose life is going nowhere. His girl left, his rent is late, and he lacks a real job. He is trying to make it as an app reviewer online and decides to review a self help app called i-Lived for fun. He’s signs on and immediately his life turns around. He meets the girl of his dreams and he gets a job offer he can’t refuse. Convinced it’s him and not the app, he signs out… and loses everything. He signs on again but this time the terms are different, the app is asking him to do things that are out of his moral comfort zone… but essential to becoming the success the app tells him he can be.

i-LIVED will arrive in limited theaters on July 3rd and on VOD and iTunes on July 7th.
