What Others Say about
GOTHAM SCREEN:


"GOTHAM was our big break into screenwriting. Knowing that we were optioned writers (one of our scripts got optioned following a win at the contest) opened several doors at the recent Indie Gathering in Cleveland and generated a lot of buzz about us and our fledgling production company, Devil Monkey Films."

Patrick Bates,
Devil Monkey Films

Miles is a documentary filmmaker trying to jump-start his career. His future brightens when he lands an interview with the purported “king” of snuff films, known only as Vic. But, the interview goes awry as Vic takes control and strange visions plague Miles.

His camera picks up eerie images… ghosts of Vic’s past victims. Some ghosts warn Miles, others lure him into the darkest recesses of the soul. Miles’ growing obsession worries those closest to him. Their encounters with the ghosts become more violent, more haunting and more possessive. Miles’ brother sees great potential in these “ghost images” and sets up a meeting with a sleazy investor to mass produce the films.

When Miles is reminded that energy can be neither created nor destroyed he sees Vic for what he really is… the epitome of evil, thriving on the life energy of his victims, and using it to control others. Everyone who watches Vic’s movies opens their minds to his will, and become the conduit for his manipulation.

Miles knows the only way to stop Vic is to short circuit the wiring in the building. Creating a magnetic field will disrupt the energy force of the ghosts and weaken or destroy Vic’s power. But, his plan is cut short when those he cares about most are brought within Vic’s grasp.
