Halloween: They Pushed Me Into the Abyss

13 episodes

Go to the full screening

A filmed haunted-house prank stops Chloe's heart; she survives, blocks her tormentors, and vanishes abroad.

Chloe trusts her brother, boyfriend, and closest friend enough to enter a haunted attraction they insist is harmless. Instead, they record her mounting terror for laughs until the stress induces fatal heart failure on the operating table. When she revives, her first act is to sever every connection — phone, messages, shared history — and board a plane out of the country. Only then do the men collapse into grief, staging grand gestures and a kneeling proposal that cannot bridge the distance she has created. The premise centers on the instant a joke becomes violence and the quiet finality of a woman who refuses to perform forgiveness.

Motifs
