Don't Tell a Soul is a 2020 American thriller film written and directed by Alex McAulay, in his directorial debut.

To support their dying mother Carol, 17-year-old Matt forces his 14-year-old brother Joey to rob a remote home being fumigated.

Feeling guilty about leaving the man trapped, Joey regularly visits Hamby to bring him water, food, a sleeping bag, and a walkie-talkie.

Incensed when Joey continues bonding with the man, Matt drops an open pesticide canister into the hole to kill Hamby.

Joey confronts Matt when he learns his brother used the stolen money meant for their mother to host a motel party.

Joey runs back home where Carol's TV news program reveals the man in the well is actually Randy Michael Sadler, a fugitive wanted for murdering his wife and children.

In January 2019, it was announced that Jack Dylan Grazer, Fionn Whitehead, Rainn Wilson and Mena Suvari had joined the cast of the film, with Alex McAulay directing from a screenplay he wrote in his directorial debut.
