FAMILY
By Tobey Alexander

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

A curious stranger stumbles into the home of a faceless killer and his young daughter, only to discover that this “family” has a chilling way of welcoming new members into their fold.

SYNOPSIS:

In an eerie, decaying house filled with antiques and shadows of the past, a stranger stealthily follows a mysterious masked man known as the Faceless Caretaker. The stranger moves quietly, hoping to understand what dark secrets are hidden within this strange home. As they creep through rooms cluttered with relics and unsettling mementos, their every step brings them closer to danger. Clues mount—a long-abandoned dining table, faded family photos with scratched-out faces, and an old camera directed at empty chairs—all suggesting that this house is more than it seems.

Their exploration is cut short when the Caretaker catches them. Bound and helpless, the stranger is forced to confront the faceless figure, who coldly questions what they have seen. Unable to answer, the stranger is silenced as the Caretaker slashes their throat, casting them into darkness.

The stranger awakens buried in a shallow grave, gasping for air as dirt is pulled away by a young girl, the Caretaker’s daughter. Calmly and methodically, she frees the stranger, revealing a scar across her neck as she explains, "This is how Daddy welcomes us into the family." With chilling finality, she declares, “You’re one of us now.”

As the scene fades to black, it’s clear that in this twisted family, survival means a lifetime of silence, servitude, and carrying on the sinister tradition.
