THEY BECKON

THEY BECKON
By Jerry Robbins

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

At the isolated Mansion of the Elms, estate appraisers find themselves in the fight of their lives against mysterious apparitions harboring a murderous secret in an ancient Irish curse.

SYNOPSIS:

The Amityville Horror meets Sleepy Hollow in this haunted house horror inspired by grisly true events. When Estate Appraiser Kali Savin and her team arrive at the ‘Mansion of the Elms’ they expect a routine week of sorting through antiques and dusty old furniture. With orders to get the job done quickly by the property’s prospective buyer, they get to work. They discover the property was the sight of a terrible mass murder of the Irish immigrants who built the house. Soon, Kali and her team begin to witness residual hauntings of the murdered workers, vengeful phantom corpses who roam the misty woods at night, and a bloodcurdling Banshee collecting lost souls for her Death Coach to whisk the living away. With the mansion about to be turned over to the descendants of their killers, the spirits’ revenge grows more violent. Kali and her team must survive in a terrifying last stand against the curse of the Mansion of the Elms.

From THE BLACK LIST evaluations: "This is a horrifying story with a compelling and fitting premise for the genre. The story moves at a fast pace, with terrifying moments throughout." "The opening sequence is almost a short Hitchcock movie with plenty of temptation and poorly made choices." From script reader at Entertainment Pipeline: "I have a fondness for thriller/horror films. That being said it’s usually pretty hard to sell me on this genre, but as I was reading this script I could see an audience of people including myself jumping in our seats and even covering our eyes as we watched the film. This one gets my stamp of approval, I would work with Jerry Robbins. His style and creativity can only be matched by one, M. Night Shyamalan!"
