Burning Bright is a 2010 horror thriller film directed by Carlos Brooks and starring Briana Evigan, Garret Dillahunt, Meat Loaf, and Charlie Tahan.

The film depicts the attempts of a young woman and her younger autistic brother to ward off a hungry tiger trapped in a house with them during a hurricane.

Meanwhile, John's stepdaughter, Kelly Taylor, takes her autistic younger brother, Tom, to a special hospital to be cared for while she is at college.

She protests that her mother (who committed suicide by taking an overdose of pills sometime prior to film) wanted the money to go to Kelly and Tom, but John justifies that there was no official will, so he took the funds for himself.

Upon realizing that her phone is missing from its usual spot on the charger, she suspects that she may have accidentally dropped it down the laundry chute along with her clothes.

Undeterred, she decides to contact John, who is busy drinking beer and gambling in a bar and has left his cell phone in his car.

When the tiger breaks in, she spills perfume to mask her and Tom's scent and hides them under the bed, but they are still attacked and barely escape.

Kelly is unable to break down the boarded up front door so she leaves out raw meat laced with sleeping pills to distract the tiger.

When the tiger corners them, Kelly uses a crowbar to break a hole through the wall for them to crawl out into the hallway, but not before the beast scratches her leg.

In despair, Kelly bandages her leg but then discovers that John has taken out life insurance policies on both her and Tom, and intends to collect the money upon their deaths.

She manages to briefly lock the tiger in the dining room but Tom refuses to leave the TV and hits her with the remote.
