Campfire Confessions

(HORROR / SUSPENSE)

LOGLINE

When adventurous, arrogant hikers trespass and desecrate bygone land, they reap the wrath of the backwoods inhabitants and must rely on their most primal powers to survive the unforgiving and malevolent wild.



SYNOPSIS


A group of unwise college friends, under false pretense, venture into a quiet area of New England woods for a challenging hike and relaxing getaway but end up dead. 

Another group of naïve friends soon travel the same path, similarly unaware of the true danger and darkness around them. Sasha, Sawyer, Niko, Ruby and Felicity travel deep into the eerie, twisted woods to a desolate campsite atop Sugar Rock- a hiker's haven where the view of the city in the distance is both beautiful and disconcerting. The surrounding nature is beautiful in daylight and dusk but come nightfall, they soon find that the mystery and isolation of the forest can induce fear and panic. 

Unsettling sightings and stories around the campfire give way to actual attacks and running through the treacherous forest for their lives. Ominous beings, wild animals and the elements themselves bombard the hikers who must utilize their own innate abilities in order to survive.

Drama Voyeur / Playing the Victim


(Drama / Horror)


LOGLINE

High school drama always seems like it's life and death and sometimes it actually is. A drama connoisseur blurs the line between stage and reality when she stays in character, continuing her dramatic performance off stage and setting up her co-stars for a deadly final act.



The drama club is putting on a Greek tragedy play, however the drama behind the scenes ends up being much more tragic and sensational than any play.

Montague High has its cliques like most any other school but its drama group takes it beyond over the top. Mean girl Doutzen and her minions make sure to exert their dominance over the other, more meek mannered girls like Violetta, in order to land the lead roles in the play.

While Doutzen does indeed beat Violetta for the lead female role, offstage Violetta inadvertently wins the heart of Doutzens boyfriend Gustav.

Like the drama-loving sociopath that she is, Doutzen uses the school play to her twisted advantage; putting on not the rehearsed play but her own interpretation of the tragedy. While her co-stars and instructor are shocked and horrified at the murderous plot that unfolds on and back stage, the audience is left perplexed as to what is real and what is pretend. All the while Doutzen soaks in the aftermath of her scheme, using it as an improvisation opportunity to simply hone her acting skills.
