Australian outback - supernatural horror.

A group of hikers travel to a remote lagoon on a fishing trip, unknown to them they disturb a dreamtime spirit. Markus our protagonist must embrace his long forgotten medicine-man training in order to save his and his friends lives.

The script ultimately is about embracing heritage and considering what are truly the important things in life, family, friends and culture.

This script scored a strong Blacklist 7. However that game gets expensive fast so it's not currently hosted on that site. I've re-written and polished the script since then and personally believe it's much stronger.

Enjoy!
