PITCHIf the chilling scene of Garland Greene, the infamous serial killer known as “The Marietta Mangler,” sitting with the little girl in Con Air—calmly discussing how wearing a hat makes you look happy while she serves him tea, all while singing He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands — gave you chills... this script will take that tension to the next level.
Imagine Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface, as a child, meets Hushpuppy, from Beasts of the Southern Wild, and they are in that scene from Con Air! We've seen serial killer stories. We've seen trauma narratives. But we've never seen one where the victim becomes the unexpected savior. DOLLFACE is a visceral, heart-stopping exploration of survival that challenges everything we think we know about monsters, protection, and redemption. Our protagonist isn't a detective. She's a 12-year-old girl with an unshakable faith and a terrifying understanding of human darkness. Picture this: A teenage boy, traumatized beyond recognition, wearing a porcelain doll mask. He doesn't just kill children - he "preserves" them. Each victim is a carefully arranged testament to his own shattered childhood. And then Cana arrives - a child who sees past the mask, past the violence, into something fundamentally human. This isn't torture porn. This is a psychological thriller that asks: What happens when true innocence confronts true horror? When compassion becomes more powerful than violence? We're not just selling a film. We're selling a conversation about trauma, survival, and the razor-thin line between predator and protector. DOLLFACE will make audiences uncomfortable. It will make them think. And most importantly - it will make them feel. This is not your typical horror movie. This is a human story wearing a monster's mask. STATUSAvailable for option.
