PROOF OF CONCEPT

TAKE A QUICK PEEK AT OUR VISION FOR THIS FEATURE-LENGTH THRILLER

THE STORY

An adventurous college student looking to impress his date finds more than he bargained for when he takes a dangerous detour on Halloween night.

THE FILM

Surprise Party! will be a 1970s-style feature length thriller - a terrifying nightmare that could actually happen to anyone.

THE TEAM

The creators, Brian Best and Bob Massa, strive for relatable and realistic stories with engaging characters that amplify the horror and thrills.

MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT

PREMISE

On their first date before a Halloween party, a college-aged couple, JASON and SARAH, spend an afternoon exploring abandoned places looking for thrills. The first two stops, an abandoned factory and an old church get their blood pumping. Jason and Sarah decide to venture down Devil's Fork Road in spite of being warned not to, where they discover what appears to be an abandoned trailer. Curiosity gets the best of them and they enter the trailer. They soon realize they are not alone when the delusional owner, KINNEY, suddenly arrives home, trapping them inside. With the realization that Kinney is a sexual predator with a new captive victim, Jason conceives a plan to escape that goes horribly wrong.
