A WAY IN

A WAY IN
By Michael E Droberg

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

A desperate widow uses a necromancer ritual to bring her husband back to life only to be terrorized by the demonic spirit which possesses him and it’s up to her and a local priest to stop the demonic entity.

SYNOPSIS:

A 30-something Nick fought in the Afghanistan War, but now he’s home with his wife Andrea and 10-year-old son Jacob in rural New York State. Even though the war has long been over, Nick is still haunted by it. He suffers nightmares and daydreams in which a demonic voice torments him about the things he did in the war. Meanwhile, Andrea visits the home of her friend Ethan who is hosting a group of friends, including Stanley, and a medium Madame Toussant. Possessed by a spirit, Madame Toussant warns her audience of the Devourer, telling them he is coming and can cross the astral planes. Three months later, Nick succumbs to the cough that’s been ailing him, and Andrea is utterly devastated by his death. So much so that she contemplates suicide then turns to the occult to summon Nick back from the dead. She and Ethan exhume Nick’s corpse then performs a ritual which resurrects him. At first it seems as though it has works, be soon enough it would appear the Devourer has possessed Nick’s body, enabling him to indulge in a deadly rampage, and only the local priest seems capable of stopping the demon and saving young Jacob.

Real good idea. I would guess you got inspired by Kate Bush "Cloud Busting".

I'm a big fan of the original Mad Max movies and the Fallout video games series. I think my idea was inspired by that. I'll have to check out "Cloud Busting" though.
