Evil Things

The events unfold over a single contemporary weekend, a few days of tension that escalate from casual gathering to a claustrophobic chase. The setting hints at winter or late autumn with snow in the forest, amplifying isolation. Modern technology—phones, radios, and cameras—becomes both a tool and a vulnerability as signals fail and a watchful eye remains unseen.

The story begins in the bustling streets of New York City before retreating to a secluded country house in the Catskills. The Catskills setting provides a remote, wooded backdrop that intensifies the sense of being watched. The house sits on snow-dusted grounds, with winding roads and dense woods that trap the friends in a quiet, eerie landscape.

🔎 Surveillance

A central thread is the constant watching: a maroon van appears at every turn and the group is captured by a hidden observer. The videotaped footage becomes a chilling document of their movements and vulnerabilities. The looming question is who is watching them and for what purpose?

😨 Fear & Paranoia

The group’s sense of safety collapses as whispers, noises in the walls, and the stalker’s presence turn the house into a claustrophobic trap. Trust frays as every encounter—gas stations, calls, or the silent camera—feels like part of an unseen design against them. The line between friend and threat blurs under pressure.

🎭 Trust & Intrigue

The party atmosphere inside the house is contrasted by an undercurrent of betrayal and secret observation. Laughter and warmth coexist with the knowledge that someone is always watching. The group’s dynamics shift as fear overrides camaraderie, revealing hidden tensions.
