BABANGA

BABANGA
By Jorge Parente

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

After a struggling artist accidentally kills his girlfriend during a heated argument, he turns to a mysterious spiritual healer who promises to bring her back — in exchange for three souls.

SYNOPSIS:

David, a sleep-deprived rideshare driver and struggling artist, is slowly unraveling under the weight of creative failure and a crumbling relationship with his ambitious girlfriend, Julia. When a tragic accident during an argument leads to Julia’s sudden death, David is consumed by guilt and desperation.

Enter Babanga — a mysterious spiritual healer David encounters through a late-night ride. She offers him a way to bring Julia back from the dead, but the cost is steep: three human souls. As Julia returns, seemingly alive but eerily altered, David’s world spirals into psychological horror. Reality blurs with nightmares, and the Minotaur — a figure from his unfinished painting — begins to haunt him with terrifying clarity.

Struggling to distinguish between the waking world and his subconscious descent, David is forced to confront the consequences of his choices and the darkness he has unleashed. Each life he takes brings Julia closer to vitality — and him further from redemption.

Babanga is a haunting, character-driven supernatural thriller exploring grief, obsession, and the terrifying cost of getting exactly what you wished for.

This sounds interesting, Jorge Parente! I think "for a price" is vague. I suggest telling what the price is.

You're welcome, Jorge Parente. I think that'll make your logline more attractive to producers.
