THE  MONSTER IN ME

THE MONSTER IN ME
By Jacopo Schena

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

After finding a monster in his childhood home, a young anthropologist turns his life upside down to uncover its origin.

SYNOPSIS:

Back to his childhood home after his mother's passing, Zane finds there something unfathomable: a creature, with features and thoughts alien to our understanding. Something we would lazily describe as a monster.

Driven by his curiosity, Zane gets past his own fears and starts bonding with the creature, trying to figure out where he comes from, whether he has fears, desires or memories. But he doesn't realize that the monster is just a blank canvas, shaped by everything Zane says and does, just like a child with a parent.

Everything spirals out of control when the monster casually murders Zane's best friend. The notion that killing is wrong just never came up. Unable to contain the situation, Zane is forced to face his own flaws and literally fight his own demons, now personified in the monster he created.
