THE ONES WHO CAME TO DIE

THE ONES WHO CAME TO DIE
By Ritchie Stonian Johnston

GENRE: Horror, Comedy
LOGLINE:

When five fractured friends venture into remote Scottish wilderness chasing a rumoured WWII gold stash, they unknowingly trespass on land controlled by a secret elite hunting circle—where a mythic apex predator is unleashed, and survival means escaping both the creature and the men determined to erase all witnesses.

SYNOPSIS:

Recently single and emotionally adrift, Jonah is pulled out of isolation by four old friends on a reckless wilderness trip into the Scottish Highlands, following a classified lead on a long-lost WWII gold cache. When they unknowingly trespass onto privately owned land tied to a secretive organisation that monitors rare and violent phenomena in the forest, what begins as an ill-judged adventure quickly turns deadly.

As night falls, the area is sealed, surveillance closes in, and security teams move to contain the breach. Masked hunters enter the terrain, and an ancient apex creature — one that periodically emerges in these lands — begins to hunt without discrimination. Cut off from help and fractured by fear and old grudges, the group is forced to accept they were never meant to be there — and will not be allowed to leave. Survival comes down to instinct, sacrifice, and the brutal realisation that control, over nature or over loss, is an illusion.
