Character-driven psychological horror

Bio
My screenplays are enhanced by forgotten memories of folklore and a world that is long forgotten. What we once were, before modern cynicism took hold, has been forsaken and we are the worse for it today. All the old stories, told on a winter's evening, by families to enthrall adults and children alike had been passed down through the generations until they became a whisper of what was once understood of the old ways and old religion that belonged to the land.

The dead-cake folk ritual becomes a passage through accumulated guilt and forgotten lives, joining Welsh otherworld beliefs and Christian history to Lovecraftian cosmic horror. Its final turn makes reincarnation feel less like renewal than the next link in a chain of suffering.

STANDOUT FEATURES

UNIQUE SELLING POINT

The supernatural emerges through dialect, testimony, agricultural ritual, and the physical memory of the landscape rather than through a literal creature reveal. Historical folklore gradually becomes a living, contaminating reality, leaving the audience unsure whether it has witnessed myth, mutation, or a threshold beyond human perception.

STANDOUT FEATURES

  • Unique Hook: The story blends folk horror with a scholarly investigation, using a folklorist's perspective to uncover a dark supernatural secret.
  • Plot Twist: The revelation that the creatures are not just folklore but real, and that they may be from the future, adds a science-fiction twist to the horror.
