Synopsis "The Seven Summer Muses"
'Nominated for Best Screenplay' - Independent Talents International Film Festival December 2018. During the week of the Fourth of July, seven college friends decide to have a party in a closed restaurant in which they work. Friendships are tested and tragically lost when the girls and their friend's become part of a larger ritual.The cost of fate reveals itself in a brutal and surprising way. 'An empty restaurant, a group of young people eager to party, seven muses, some secrets and seven seals....what could go wrong?It turns out quite a lot, a night of partying and friendship turns quickly into a horrible evening of murder as our characters are stalked by a dark specter with secrets of their own. One by one our heroes face off with their own demons. What happens by morning is even more terrifying as Mr. C provides a twist of our tails at the conclusion that will take his readers by surprise and whet our appetites for an ongoing story arc.For a first effort into the horror genre, i found it to be a solid effort, as is does not fall into the typical "slasher" genre but digs a little deeper into revenge, the price of friendship and the cost of keeping secrets.''Everybody expects to die, in some far-distant, unknowable circumstance and time. No one, especially seven carefree, college-age young women, expect to die now, tonight. Tonight, at a party, in a closed restaurant, many of them will meet their fate. Someone evil is shadowing them, is locked in with them. They never came here, expecting to die, but many of them will. Read Seven Summer Muses. Be afraid.'Artwork by Steven J. Catizone
