Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners and Reliance Entertainment to release COME PLAY in Cinemas on 27th November in India!

'Come Play' revolves around a lonely young boy named Oliver whose friendship with Larry, a mysterious creature on his phone, turns his dreams into nightmares.

In an age where technology is taking over our lives in insidious ways, a few films are trying to use it as a plot device or as a metaphor to throw light on modern life - a life where billions of people are connected more than ever (virtually) but the loneliness epidemic is a burning issue. Filmmaker Jacob Chase, who has adapted his short film, 'Larry' into a full-length feature film, is one of the few filmmakers who have tried to blend horror and technology in 'Come Play'.

Chase wanted to make a horror genre film using today's tools. `Technology plays a huge part in this film because it's around us everywhere,` says Chase. The challenge was how to take what works in horror movies and update it. `It's not about someone hacking you or about weird coding,` continues Chase. `It's essentially the new delivery device, with the tablet and phone as the new version of the haunted house.`

Chase's inspiration for the film came from his love of complicated antagonists. `I had this idea for Larry, a monster who's lonely and all he really wants is a friend but goes about getting one in very scary ways.` The film also explored the connection between technology and loneliness. `That aspect of it is very closely tied to Larry because he's a monster that comes from loneliness, and technology can be amazing but the way we use it can also lead to loneliness,` adds Chase. `It made sense to me that Larry was a manifestation of our modern technology.`

This powerful story about love and friendship stars newcomer Azhy Robertson (Marriage Story, Juliet, Naked), Gillian Jacobs (`Love,` `Community`), and John Gallagher Jr. (10 Cloverfield Lane, Hush), and co-stars Jayden Marine, Winslow Fegley, and Gavin MacIver Wright.
