'Come Out and Play' is a Mexican horror film written and directed by Makinov. It tells the story of Beth (Vinessa Shaw, featured on the 2006's remake 'The Hills Have Eyes') and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, known for playing "Micro" on the first season of 'The Punsiher', the Marvel show from Netflix), a young couple who decides to go on vacation before the arrival of their first child. Francis ends up persuading his wife to travel to an incredible, almost uninhabited island. Once settled, expectant parents realize that only children inhabit this deserted paradise. After a while, they unleash a series of mysterious disappearances that Beth and Francis will try to clarify. As the days go by, the romantic journey turns into a nightmare where the protagonists have to come out alive.
