Critically acclaimed writer-director Faith Elizabeth returns with Granny DJ, a subversive horror-dramedy that builds on the success of her breakout short My Baby Cries while boldly expanding her signature blend of genre and dark humor. No stranger to independent horror and an accomplished actor in her own right, Elizabeth crafts a visceral, high-energy spectacle that is as emotionally resonant as it is wildly entertaining.

When the rebellious, boundary-pushing Granny DJ ditches her babysitting duties to sneak her granddaughter Lola into a late-night DJ gig, it ignites yet another explosive confrontation with Lola’s tightly wound mother, who has grown exhausted by Granny’s impulsive behavior and refusal to act her age. What begins as a familiar generational clash is violently interrupted when a sudden power surge corrupts the club’s wireless headphones, unleashing a supernatural force that transforms dancers into bloodthirsty, possessed creatures. As the club descends into chaos, the dance floor becomes a battleground.

Trapped inside the carnage, Granny and her daughter are forced into a reluctant alliance.They must confront years of resentment, unresolved trauma, and deep generational wounds in order to protect what matters most: Lola. As they fight their way through the possessed masses, their struggle becomes a desperate bid for time, legacy, and their own mortality.

Fueled by a catchy soundtrack and family dysfunction, Granny DJ proves it’s not just dropping sick beats it’s dropping bodies. The film gleefully embraces its camp sensibility, delivering splatter and laughs while never losing sight of its emotional core. Beneath the gore and humor lies a tender meditation on forgiveness and what it means to show up for the ones you love.

Inspired by Elizabeth’s own experience with personal loss and grief, Granny DJ reframes the fear of illness and a terminal diagnosis through the heightened, expressive lens of horror. The result is a bold, animated, comic-book-style spectacle that transforms pain into catharsis and chaos into connection. Championing women-centered stories across generations, Granny DJ is ultimately a celebration of love, resilience, and survival played at full volume.
