VICE TIMES SEVEN

VICE TIMES SEVEN
By Leah Kafetz Rothman

GENRE: Science Fiction, Horror
LOGLINE:

At a pristine “healing resort,” a dysfunctional family undergoes a cutting-edge experimental therapy meant to "cure" them of their dysfunction, but as each member confronts their inner vice, reality begins to dissolve, leaving only the truths they’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and the sinister truth behind the perfect facade.

SYNOPSIS:

When Claire Morana, a deeply burdened woman struggling with her mental health, takes her dysfunctional family on a mysterious trip to an isolated luxury spa called OASIS, it quickly becomes clear that this isn't a typical wellness retreat. Each member of the family— including her abusive husband, cold businesswoman mother, lazy father, moody teen daughters, arrogant son, and emotionally entangled brother— are led to personalized rooms that seem to reflect their inner vices, secrets, and psychological struggles.

The spa, under the direction of the seemingly angelic Frances Galton, turns into a surreal therapeutic prison. Through voyeuristic mirrors, two-way glass, surreal interiors, and confronting psychological manipulation, each character is forced to face the darkest aspects of themselves: rage, gluttony, vanity, lust, pride, envy, and sloth.

As their facades begin to crumble and tensions rise, past traumas, buried resentments, and forbidden desires come violently to the surface. In this twisted and darkly satirical psychological horror-drama, healing might not be the goal at all— at least not in any way the Morana family expected.
