REMINDER:
By Len Archibald

GENRE: Thriller, Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

After experiencing a series of eerie distortions in time and reality, a man haunted by déjà vu races to prevent a tragic accident, only to discover he’s trapped in an inescapable loop where his fate—and the woman he loves—are intertwined in a chilling cycle of repetition and regret.

SYNOPSIS:

Luke’s mornings always start the same: wake up, silence the alarm at 6:15 AM, and follow the same precise routine. But today feels...off. A shadowy figure in the mirror. A cryptic post-it note: “CALL KRISTEN BEFORE 1:03 PM.” And time itself seems to glitch—clocks flicker backward, strangers repeat the same actions, and the world around him stutters like a broken record.

When Luke finally calls Kristen, the line goes dead, and a breaking news alert reveals a pedestrian accident at Weston & King at 1:03 PM. Panicked, Luke races to the location, weaving through a city that feels like it’s collapsing in on itself. Pedestrians move in eerie loops, and familiar faces—a cyclist with a blue helmet, a woman spilling coffee—haunt him like déjà vu.

At Weston & King, Luke finds Kristen on the opposite side of the street, urging him to hurry. But as he steps forward, a bus slams into him. In his final moments, Luke sees Kristen cradling him, whispering, “Not again.” Flashbacks reveal the truth: Kristen has been trapped in this loop, leaving clues and warnings to save him. But no matter what she does, the outcome remains the same.

As the world blurs and resets, Luke wakes up once more in his bed, the alarm clock reading 6:14 AM. The loop begins again.

REMINDER is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that explores the fragility of time, the weight of inevitability, and the lengths we go to for love. It’s Groundhog Day meets Donnie Darko, with a twist that will leave you questioning every second of your own life.

Tick-tock. The clock is running.
