#KILLALLMEN

Feature / cult horror / in-development

LOGLINE: When a guilt-ravaged court stenographer is seduced by a cult of self-hating men at the height of the #MeToo movement, he must uncover the group's ulterior motives before he’s brainwashed into a performative act of self-mutilation.

SYNOPSIS: When a guilt-ravaged court stenographer (Eugene) is recruited by a cult of self-hating men, he is seduced by their promise of absolution and begins to participate in disturbing rituals of confession and atonement. But, when the rituals escalate in severity, Eugene grows suspicious of the group’s leaders and begins to investigate their clandestine origins. After discovering that the cult has been contrived by a men’s rights organization, Eugene races to reveal their ulterior motives before he’s compelled to participate in a performative final ritual that will ignite a cultural firestorm.
