THE DEVOTED
By Dan Olds

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

When a charismatic pastor’s mysterious pages spark a revival that twists into blood-soaked fanaticism, a haunted young assistant pastor must confront his own dark past and stop the spreading cult before it destroys their town.

SYNOPSIS:

The Devoted is a chilling story about faith twisted into fanaticism, and the terrifying power that takes root when deception is mistaken for truth.

When Pastor David Mercer begins receiving mysterious handwritten pages that echo Scripture but bend its meaning, his dwindling congregation is suddenly electrified. What starts as revival quickly mutates into something sinister: strange manifestations, blood-tainted rituals, and an emerging cult that calls itself The Devoted.

At the center is Elias, David’s young assistant pastor, who begins to suspect the pages are not sacred revelation at all. As the congregation splinters between worship and dread, Elias must face his own haunted past and survive the force that has entwined itself with David, the church, and even his own life.

The Devoted blends psychological unease with supernatural horror—whispers in the dark, corpses that twitch with unholy life, an elder struck down mid-confrontation, and rituals escalating toward bloodshed. It is a story about deception wearing the mask of faith, the terrors that follow when discernment fails, and the cost of resisting darkness from within.
