"The Crossing"

COSMIC HORROR FEATURE

IN DEVELOPMENT – RO PICTURES
Sarah is a young woman struggling to come to terms with her physical and mental damage at the loss of her family. An introverted, damaged soul, Sarah struggles to adapt to her new role – A Caregiver with no-one to care for. Through therapy she tries to adjust to her new life, but the world around her has become too much to bear. Society seems close to collapse, people she meets are uncaring and selfish, so caught up in their own lives. It’s too much, and Sarah has learned it’s far easier to keep to herself. She stays in her house, with only her Aunt providing her any support. But, in the depths of space, something far bigger than all of this is on its way.

With the arrival of a Comet, The Crossing takes place. The Crossing is a cosmic event that brings two realities into one. As the world is irreparably altered by this cosmic phenomenon, Sarah finds her need to repair her life side-lined by a fight for survival. She has to battle with deformed apparitions who invade her home and desperately cling to whatever sanity she had left. But things are not as they seem. As is her nature, Sarah sees things others fail to. She comes to the horrible realisation these deformed creatures aren’t monsters – they’re her family. The reality where her family survived has met the one without. And she’s killed them. Again.
