SERENE
By Shayla Booth

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE: Sealed in an underground bunker, a team begins losing their senses one by one, and in the suffocating darkness, they must discover what's taking them before they're left blind, deaf, and buried alive in their own bodies.

SYNOPSIS:

Lila awakens in an underground bunker, abducted by a doomsday cult convinced the apocalypse has arrived. Led by a charismatic prophet, the cult has sealed themselves beneath the earth to wait out humanity's extinction. But as Lila searches desperately for an escape route through the bunker's labyrinthine corridors, she notices something far more disturbing than her captors' fanaticism. Members of the cult are losing their senses. First touch, followers unable to feel pain, injuries, the cold concrete beneath their feet. Then taste, smell vision and hearing. The prophet declares it a spiritual cleansing, a purification before their ascension. But Lila recognizes the horrifying truth: something in the bunker is systematically stripping away their perception. As the condition spreads and panic erupts, Lila must navigate between the increasingly violent cult members and whatever entity lurks in the deeper levels below. With each sense that vanishes, the bunker becomes more disorienting, more claustrophobic. The cultists can no longer see the blood on their hands. Can no longer hear screams echoing through the tunnels. Can no longer feel the walls closing in. Lila races against her own failing senses to find the exit, haunted by a terrible question: if she escapes to the surface, will she carry the contagion with her, or has the cult been right all along about what awaits outside?

Really seems like this logline has potential, does also add the sense of dread with the isolation stake.
