Narrative (the Story)

We are creating a teaser trailer for a psychological horror thriller.

In our story our protagonist (Sammael) is able to see into a parallel universe when his eyes are closed. Once in this parallel world he can see into the souls of people who are both dead and alive. The souls of the dead are put to rest but the tarnished souls of anyone, such as murderers are trapped in this parallel world. A living person's soul can be changed through what they do so a murderer would have a tarnished soul where as a doctor would have a clean soul. Whilst in this world the souls are able to affect the real world. They are behind freak accidents and deaths which are unexplained. They can also kill but this leads to their power being drained and if drained too far they are cast to hell.
Sammael is one of the few warriors who are chosen to fight against this evil from birth but he ignored the idea of a parallel world thinking these no more than freakishly real nightmares. He slowly became an insomniac, not sleeping but never growing tired. When his girl friend, sister and brother all died at his 18th birthday party he tried to make sense of this. As he closed his eyes while holding his girl friend in his arms he saw an arm holding onto her. When he opened his eyes to look up he saw nothing. He sought out answers from 'The Hand' an ancient power who his family had talked about for years.

The film would start with Sammael on the run from the police (lead by Inspector Dwayne Jackson) after an accidental killing of his partner who was investigating a burglary. He traipses through bars getting into fights and kicked out of clubs. He is seen by all as a social outcast moving from place to place causing trouble where ever he goes. He is on the hunt of the group of demons who killed his family but his life on the run from the police ends with him getting arrested by Dwayne and sent to jail. Whilst in jail he attempts to save the life of an innocent inmate (Shelton) while struggling to come to grips with the fact he is surrounded by the souls of many murderers and rapists.
The jail is destroyed during a riot and Dwayne helps Sammael escape with Shelton after almost being killed by a demon but Sammael saves him. They all end up on the run. Sammael finds that certain places are hot spots for the other world activity and that a demon is trying to split some of these hot spots to release the souls into the real world. Sammael Dwayne and Shelton go in search of the 'Chest of Luso' which is a legendary set of weapons that can be used against the souls and also holds the 'Blade of Luso' which can cool the hot spots closing them and meaning less activity happens around that area. Sammael and Shelton go on a quest to the 'TS Caverns' and works their way past many obstacles till he gets out with the 'Chest of Luso'. Unfortunately Dwayne is shot whilst saving Sammael and he dies.
Sammael returns to find the hot spot which the demons are trying to open. Sammael finally kills the demons but is also killed by a police officer. His soul is dragged through the hot spot by the demons and he dies. Shelton lowers Sammaels body to the floor and some red mist exits sammael and enters into Shelton. Shelton then runs from the police. The film ends with Shelton and his girlfriend having a baby. Shelton kisses the baby and the smoke enters the baby. We then see the baby open its eyes and he has 'the sight'.
