#spreadthemovie When a group of friends go on a weekend away together, they are stalked by serial murderers wearing cartoon pig masks.

LOGLINE: A group of college friends' weekend getaway turns deadly when they discover that some among them are followers of a serial rapist-murderer cult leader who uses social media and a cartoon pig named Hamson to spread his violent ideology.

SHORT SYNOPSIS: Young adults Rex, Amy, Derek, and their friends rent a remote house for a weekend reunion after pandemic lockdowns, hoping to reconnect in person rather than through screens. However, a creepy landlord and his property immediately raise red flags. When the power goes out and a bloodied young woman named Florence appears claiming to have escaped captivity from a group who killed her mother, the group realizes they're in serious danger.

What initially seems like a random attack reveals itself to be part of a larger conspiracy. Rex's girlfriend Amy discovers that REDACTED and REDACTED are actually REDACTED, followers of Cletus Puig - the "Allfather" - a serial rapist-murderer who has spent decades building a cult family through sexual violence. Puig uses the innocent cartoon character "Hamson" (originally created by artist Geoffrey Loftidottir-- who is now missing...) as a symbol that his followers have corrupted and weaponized across social media platforms.

The friends are systematically hunted and killed by the cult members wearing Hamson masks. REDACTED realizes REDACTED has been part of the plot all along when they discover REDACTED and has been manipulated into helping lure victims. The screenplay climaxes with REDACTED fighting for their life against REDACTED, REDACTED, and ultimately REDACTED himself, who appears with other pregnant cult members as part of his plan to "purify" the world through selective breeding and violence.
