| Logline: | A college newspaper reporter returns to school a year after witnessing a sorority hazing prank where the sisters pretended to sacrifice a coed caused him to have a nervous breakdown, and is soon in the deep end again when the ghost of a student who died half a century before hints that the “prank” may have opened a door to the other side. |

| Why to Read: | From page one, this pilot grounds its effective horror in a well-crafted and vibrant college campus setting that feels real and familiar, allowing for heightened creepiness when things start to go wrong. The character of Cherry, the ghost of a college student from the 60s who has become a snarky supernatural sidekick, adds some great originality to a classic premise, while the protagonists feel totally real and memorable. Evocative, cinematic visuals combined with a masterfully balanced ominous tone heighten the tension and drown us in the best kind of dread. |
