The Luring

LOGLINE: A MAN TRIES TO RECOVER A LOST MEMORY BY RETURNING TO HIS FAMILY’S VERMONT VACATION HOME WHERE AN UNSPEAKABLE ACT TOOK PLACE.

Garrett tries to recover a lost memory that took place during his tenth birthday at the family's secluded vacation home in Vermont. Unbeknownst to him, a dark and unspeakable event occurred that left him in a non-responsive state, a condition diagnosed by a psychiatrist as dissociative amnesia—a memory loss triggered by a traumatic event.

Now in his early thirties, Garrett is desperate to uncover the truth hidden within his fractured mind, but he will soon realize that some memories hold secrets he wished had remained buried. As he embarks on this journey, his always overly optimistic girlfriend, Claire, is focused on making this a romantic getaway to strengthen their relationship.

However, their idyllic escape takes a nightmarish turn as Claire begins to hear strange noises and is haunted by terrifying visions that originate from her nightmares.

Simultaneously, Garrett becomes entangled with a mysterious woman named Jennifer, who appears in the dead of night, masked and enigmatic, leaving him captivated and bewildered

A strange tall man shares conspiracy theories with Garrett that could bring him great harm unless he takes drastic measures. A red balloon and a toy truck seem to appear before every murder, as if used as bait by a vindictive and hellish force.

In this surreal and mind-bending psychological thriller, the boundaries between nightmares and reality blur, and the web of lies and manipulation tightens, culminating in a catastrophic and deeply disturbing conclusion.
