A workaholic city detective must stop a ruthless serial killer, but discovers her perpetrator is a terrifying, supernatural entity with a horrifying ultimatum: if you stop moving, you die.

​

A dead girl. A missing cop. Something strange is going on in sleepy South Woodburn and police detective Sam Ellington wants answers.

 

But it’s the run up to “Woodfest”, South Woodburn’s annual celebration that has recently become the festival to attend and town mayor, Elias Woodburn, doesn’t want a cop investigating his community.

 

As thousands arrive for the festivities, Sam discovers something much darker at play; something beyond her control - a terrifying entity is inflicting its victims with a horrifying ultimatum: you stop moving, you die. As bodies mount up and the town’s secrets unravel, Sam must stop the Still Man before it kills again.

​

THE STILL MAN is written by David Scullion and Emily Greenwood and produced by Jude Goldrei (Lunar Lander Films) and Douglas Cox (Shadowhouse Films).

 

The project was selected at this year's edition of Sitges FanPitch where Emily, Jude and Douglas pitched to sales, distribution, co-producer, and finance partners.

 

A polished version of the script will be ready to send out in the new year, whilst our proof of concept - STOP DEAD - will have its online launch in December on horror platform ALTER.
