Casting “Malevolent,” a short film. Synopsis: Alex is in danger. Her father is on a rampage and she is his next victim. She hides in a closet, hoping to be spared. She isn’t. “I see you.” Her fate is sealed. Alex lunges in desperation and strikes a fatal blow. She is saved.
Years later we see Alex, still struggling with her past. A creature haunts her subconscious. Could it be her father, unrelenting and bent on exacting his revenge? A Psychiatrist has an idea: hypnosis. Alex isn’t sure but she decides to try it.Under hypnosis, Alex revisits the moment when she escaped from her father. Except for this time we see the truth. Alex’s mother dies first, and Alex is to blame. Then she kills her father.As she emerges from hypnosis, Alex realizes what she has revealed. Now the Psychiatrist must die. Only the Creature stands between Alex and her next victim.
