Synopsis/Details
Seventeen-year-old Paige Bishop reluctantly takes her younger siblings to a failing traveling circus, confronting a lifelong fear of clowns—only to draw the attention of Tulips, a disturbingly cheerful performer who sees the world as a stage.
That night, Tulips follows them home and traps them inside, cutting off communication and turning their house into the setting for his twisted “show.” As he toys with them—manipulating space, expectations, and fear with playful precision—Paige struggles to keep her siblings alive while facing a killer who is always smiling, always in control, and fully aware of what he’s doing.
When help arrives too late and the night spirals into violence, Paige realizes survival depends on refusing to play her assigned role—confronting Tulips on her own terms before his final act begins.
A contained, performance-driven horror thriller centered on a uniquely theatrical antagonist
