Written by Jerrod D. Brito Genre: Horror/Drama Format: Feature Screenplay Page Count: 95 Pages Logline: When a deadly virus confines a depressed, anxiety-ridden stoner and a sardonic receptionist to a clinic full of zombies––with no communication to the outside world––the unlikely team must work through their issues to find the will and means to escape and survive. "Patient" is a dramatic examination of mental health and a prescription-dependent culture disguised as a blood-hungry horror/thriller film. Pairing appropriate comedic elements, such as those found in "It Follows," and thrilling suspense like that seen in Netflix's "Bird Box," "Patient" also examines how life-or-death situations affect the tenacity of the human spirit. The 2nd Place winner in the Trapped Film Fest Exorscripts 2020 Script Competition, Coverfly also ranked "Patient" among its Top 19% of projects. |
