== Films ==
=== Gothic ===
Gothic is a 2030 American gothic horror film directed by Tyler Jett. The film is based on the 1986 horror film of the same name. It features a soundtrack by Junkie XL, and marks Jett's directorial debut.
The film is a fictionalized retelling of Mary Shelley's visit to Lord Byron in Villa Diodate by Lake Geneva, and was shot in Transilvania. The film concerns the two's competition to write a horror story, and the film ultimately ends with Mary Shelley penning Frankenstein anonymously, and Lord Byron penning the "short-subject" "The Vampyre". The same event has been portrayed in the films Mary Shelley (2017), Haunted Summer (1988), and the original Gothic (1986). The event in the film has also been alluded to in the film Bride of Frankenstein (1935), where the film begins with Mary Shelley writing the original novel. 
The film's poster is based on the 1781 painting The Nightmare, which is also alluded to in the film.
== Plot ==
Through her stepsister Claire Clairmont, Mary Godwin and her future husband Percy Shelley come to know Lord Byron. During the summer of 1816, Lord Byron invites them to stay for a while at Villa Diodati in Switzerland. There they meet Byron's physician friend, Dr. John Polidori. On 16 June, while a storm rages outside, the five of them amuse themselves by engaging in a game of hide-and-seek. Later in a parlor, Percy proclaims his fascination with science; Polidori tells him of his interests in sleepwalking and nightmares. Lord Byron shows his guests Phantasmagoria, a book of horror stories he purchased from a shop in Geneva, and the three alternately read excerpts. This inspires them to hold a séance gathered around a human skull, during which Claire has an apparent seizure. Mary describes them as Claire's "horrors," and recalls instances during their childhood when unexplained phenomena would occur during them, such as Claire's bed inexplicably shaking, and doors slamming shut by themselves. Polidori brings Claire upstairs to rest.
During the night, Mary witnesses a shadowy apparition outside the window she and Claire share. Believing Mary was startled by a slamming barn door outside, Percy goes to shut it. While investigating the barn, he is startled by a grotesque creature. Mary speaks with Lord Byron in the billiard room, confronting him about his intentions with Claire, and reveals to him that Claire is pregnant with his child. He suggests she have an abortion, and the two argue, resulting in a physical confrontation.
Later, Lord Byron performs oral sex on Claire, during which she has a miscarriage. Meanwhile, Mary consoles Percy, who has grown increasingly paranoid and claims to smell an overpowering scent of decay. From the bottom of the staircase, Mary hears a noise, and feels liquid dripping on her. As she looks up, she sees Polidori leaning over the banister, clutching a bleeding wound on his neck. Once the bleeding is controlled, he claims to have been bitten by a vampire in his room. Byron accuses him of self-inflicting the wounds, while Percy and Mary believe him. Percy raves that the group collectively gave birth to something during the séance, manifesting their worst fears, while Polidori is scared of damnation for his homosexuality. He attempts to poison himself to death with cyanide, but is stopped by Byron.
Claire goes missing from her bedroom, and is discovered by Percy; he watches in horror as her breasts metamorphose into eyes; Mary attempts to flee the house, and inadvertently crashes through a glass door. Percy infers that the presence haunting them is feeding off of the group's fear. During a failed attempt to hang himself in the barn, Polidori witnesses a figure flee on horseback. Percy and Byron attempt to recreate the séance to banish their creation. Byron and Percy, both atheists, believe it must be returned to the recesses of their minds, while Mary questions the metaphysical and supernatural events plaguing them.
In the basement, the three discover Claire nude and covered in mud. Byron attempts to hold the séance there, but Mary refuses. During the event, Mary crushes the skull, and attempts to stab Byron with a shard. Percy stops her, and begins kissing Byron passionately. As she flees through the home, Mary witnesses an apparition of her son, William, in a coffin, followed by a vision of her suffering a miscarriage. In the madness, she attempts to throw herself off a balcony, but is stopped by Percy. Mary awakens the following morning and joins Byron, Percy, and Claire in the garden.
In the contemporary era, tourists visit the Villa. A voice-over informs that Mary's son, William, died three years after that night in June 1816, followed by Percy's drowning in 1822; Byron would die two years after Percy, and Polidori committed suicide in London. From Mary's previous experience of miscarriage came the desire to raise her child from the dead, which led to her writing Frankenstein. From Polidori's homosexuality, suicidal thoughts, and fascination with vampires came the story "The Vampyre."
== Basis in reality ==
The film fictionalizes an actual meeting that took place between Mary Godwin, Percy Shelley, and Claire Clairemont at the Villa Diodati in Geneva, hosted by Lord Byron. It has been suggested by some historians and journalists that the events of their meeting which inspired Shelley's Frankenstein and Polidori's "The Vampyre" were triggered by the group's use of opium during their vacation together. Discussing the film's basis in reality, actor Sands commented:I think these portraits are rooted in reality. If people think otherwise, it's because of the later Victorian whitewash of them. These were not simply beautiful Romantic poets. They were subversive, anarchic hedonists pursuing a particular line of amorality. The film portrays Lord Byron as demonic and Shelley as on the verge of madness, but the film is an expressionist piece, and that's not an unreasonable expression of their realities.The film implies that Shelley's Frankenstein was inspired by the loss of her child; film historian Robert Shail wrote that Gothic's "baroque visuals can't disguise the dubious nature of Russell's premise that the book was inspired by the author's loss of a baby."

=== Development ===
A remake of Gothic was announced as early as 2019, and by 2021, Todd Phillips was pinned to direct. Production was scheduled to begin in late 2022, but prior to filming, Phillips dropped the project. Between 2022 to 2028, four other directors were pinned to the project; Giuseppe Andrews (Detroit Rock City), Quinn Shephard (Til Dark), Desiree Arkhavan (The Slope), and Ari Aster (Midsommar). In mid-2029, while he was still in college, Tyler Jett was pinned to direct the project, which would become Jett's directorial debut. After nearly a decade of being in development hell, the remake of Gothic finally entered production in September 2029. Anya Reiss, and the soundtrack was headed by Tom Holkinborg, better known as Junkie XL. 
== The Killer ==
The Killer is a 2030 American/Japanese thriller film co-directed by Tyler Jett and Japanese director Takaya Kosuke. It is Jett's second directorial outing, of which it is his only co-directing credit. 
The film follows Taka Moriowa, a mangaka searching for ideas for his next manga. Taka ends up following around a hitman named Rokyu, and Taka begins writing down all of the events he witnesses Rokyu "attend", so to speak. Taka ends up following Rokyu for three years, before Rokyu finally comes face-to-face with the man he'd been hunting all this time; Kakihara. Kakihara and Rokyu end up killing each other and Taka goes home, traumatized by everything. In order to decompress, Taka uses the three years worth of notes he had written down to pen an all-new manga. Taka ends up publishing a manga entitled Ichi the Killer under the penname Hideo Yamamoto. 
The film's poster is based on a scene from the 2001 live action adaptation of Ichi the Killer, which is alluded to from audio over the credits of the film. 
== Plot ==
A man named Taka stands on a balcony, writing in his notebook while spying on a pimp raping and assaulting a prostitute. When the pimp discovers him, he flees.
Sadistic yakuza boss Anjo is murdered. A cleaning crew run by Jijii removes all traces of Anjo's death and credits A hitman named Rokyu for the murder. Later, Kakihara, Anjo's sadomasochistic high-ranking enforcer, visits the spotless apartment and concludes that Anjo fled town with a prostitute and three million yen of the clan's money. Kakihara visits an underworld night club with other clan members. He tells Anjo's girlfriend, an English-speaking Chinese prostitute named Karen, that Anjo must still be alive, perhaps kidnapped by a rival clan. Jijii feeds Kakihara rumors that Suzuki, a member of the rival Funaki clan, has kidnapped Anjo. Kakihara captures Suzuki and tortures him, but when Suzuki turns out to be innocent, Kakihara slices off the end of his own tongue and offers it to Suzuki's boss as penance.
Kakihara and other clan members capture Kano, a drug-addled member of the cleaning crew. He reveals that although he helped clean up the murder scene, it was Rokyu who killed Anjo, and that Kakihara has now been targeted. Later, Taka returns to the pimp's balcony to watch him brutalize Sailor, a prostitute whom Ichi is a regular patron of. Rokyu appears and intervenes, killing the pimp and telling Sailor that he will now be the one to assault her. When Sailor tries to defend herself, Rokyu reflexively kills her, causing Taka to spark an interest in Rokyu.
At Suzuki's prompting, Kakihara is banished from the yakuza, but the entire Anjo clan defects with him. Suzuki then promises Jijii a million yen to kill Kakihara. Jijii, it is revealed, is secretly orchestrating events in order to pit yakuza clans against one another, with the help of Rokyu. Though normally unassuming and cowardly, Rokyu becomes homicidal and sexually aroused when enraged. Jijii is able to manipulate Rokyu by implanting several false memories — a high school rape in particular — and uses Ichi as an assassin.
Rokyu fights off three bullies attacking a boy named Takeshi. Takeshi is the son of Kaneko, one of Kakihara's henchmen. Jijii incites Rokyu to enter an apartment containing several members of the old Anjo clan and murder them all. Afterwards, Rokyu sees Takeshi, who thanks him for the earlier protection. Kaneko finds a brothel-keeper assaulting Rokyu in an alley and rescues him, remembering his own rescue by a member of the Anjo clan some years previously.
Kakihara enlists the help of corrupt twin police detectives, Jirō and Saburō, to find Myu-Myu, a prostitute connected with Ryu Long, a member of Jijii's gang. When Jirō fails to get information from her through torture, Saburō tracks Long down. Though Long outruns the brothers, Kakihara captures him so the twins can torture him for leads to Jijii. Meanwhile, Jijii has Karen seduce Rokyu by pretending to be the raped woman from his false memory. When Rokyu becomes confused by Karen's claims that she desired for him to rape and assault her, he kills her. Jijii informs Kakihara that Rokyu is coming to kill him but is spotted by Takayama, one of Kakihara's men. After a pursuit, Jijii, who is revealed to be surprisingly strong and muscular, disarms Takayama and kills him. Rokyu and Taka then arrive at Kakihara's base, where Rokyu kills Jirō and Saburō.
Kaneko, Kakihara and Rokyu chase each other to a rooftop, where Taka is already there. Due to Jijii's psychological manipulation, Rokyu believes that Kaneko is his brother and confronts him. Kaneko shoots Rokyu's leg, and Rokyu slits Kaneko's throat in front of Takeshi. Takeshi attacks Rokyu as he experiences a mental breakdown. Bewildered by Rokyu's behaviour and perturbed by his screams, Kakihara inserts his skewers into his ears. He suddenly sees that Rokyu has decapitated Takeshi. Rokyu charges at Kakihara, and they decapitate each other, falling from the roof. 
Years later, Taka pens a manga entitled Ichi the Killer under the penname Hideo Yamamoto.

=== Development ===
In 2030, following the success of Gothic, Tyler Jett was announced to be co-directing an American/Japanese joint production entitled The Killer with Takaya Kosuke. Junkie XL was announced to be heading the soundtrack and L.T. Verrastro to pen the script, filming began in June of 2030, and was complete in a matter of months.

== Deadly Synergy ==
Deadly Synergy is a 2031 horror film directed by Tyler Jett based on the 1819 story "The Vampyre". It is Jett's third directorial outing.
The film is a period piece set in the 19th Century and follows a wealthy man named Aubrey who meets the charismatic Lord Ruthven, who is secretly a Vampyre. The film ends with Aubrey killing Ruthven before returning home and writing "The Vampyre".
The film is based on the short story "The Vampyre", written by John William Polidori, which itself is based on a story from Lord Byron, told as part of a contest among Polidori, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and Percy Shelley. The same contest produced the novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. "The Vampyre" is often viewed as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction. The work is described by Christopher Frayling as "the first story successfully to fuse the disparate elements of vampirism into a coherent literary genre."
== Plot ==
Aubrey meets the mysterious Lord Ruthven at a social event when he comes to London. After briefly getting to know Ruthven, Aubrey agrees to go travelling around Europe with him. Aubrey slowly realizes that Ruthven delights in causing the ruin and degradation of others, and after Ruthven attempts to seduce the daughter of a mutual acquaintance near Rome, Aubrey leaves in disgust. Alone, Aubrey travels to Greece where he falls in love with an innkeeper's daughter, Ianthe. She tells him about the legends of the vampire, which are very popular in the area, and Aubrey recognises that Ruthven fits the physical description.
This romance is short-lived: Ianthe is killed, her throat torn open by an attacker who injures Aubrey and leaves behind an unusual dagger. The whole town believes it to be the work of an evil vampire. Aubrey falls ill, but is found and nursed back to health by Ruthven. Although suspicious of the man, Aubrey feels obliged to Ruthven and rejoins him in his travels. The pair are attacked by bandits on the road and Ruthven is mortally wounded. On his deathbed, Ruthven makes Aubrey swear an oath that he will not speak of Ruthven or his death for a year and a day, and once Aubrey agrees, Lord Ruthven dies laughing. Amongst Ruthven's belongings Aubrey discovers a sheath which matches the dagger found by Ianthe's body.
Aubrey returns to London and is amazed when Ruthven appears shortly thereafter, alive and well. Ruthven reminds Aubrey of his oath and although Aubrey wants to warn others of Ruthven's character he feels unable to break his oath. Helpless to protect his sister from Ruthven, Aubrey has a nervous breakdown. Upon recovering, Aubrey learns that Ruthven has inherited an earldom and is engaged to his sister, and they are due to be married on the day that his oath will end. Unable to delay the wedding, Aubrey has a stroke. That night, his oath expires, and Aubrey relates the entire story before dying. But it is too late: Ruthven has disappeared, leaving his new wife dead and drained of blood.
== Dani ==
Dani is a 2031 American drama film directed by Tyler Jett, with a script penned by Anya Reiss and Tyler Jett, and a soundtrack headed by Junkie XL and One Ok Rock. Dani is Jett's fourth directorial outing, of which it is his second to release in 2031. 
The film is split into three separate pieces; the first "act" is a period drama piece set in 1999 and follows Dani Takahara, a Japanese musician who owes debts to the Mafia. Act 1 ultimately ends with Dani being assassinated while performing a show at the Tokyo Dome. The second "act" is set in the present day and follows Daniella Williams, an English writer who searches for her next story. Act 2 ultimately ends with Daniella killing herself after her next story is deemed a failure. The final "act" is set in 2001 and follows Dani Montgomery, an American office worker inside the North Tower on the day of the September 11th attacks. Act 3, and the film itself, ultimately ends with Dani donning a red bandana and reentering the tower to save as many lives as possible.

== Senior Year ==
Senior Year is a 2032 American psychological thriller horror film directed by Tyler Jett, with a script penned by Anya Reiss and Tyler Jett, and a soundtrack headed by Junkie XL. The film is loosely based on the novel We Need to Talk About Kevin. It is Jett's sixth directorial outing, of which it is his second to release in 2032.
The film follows a Senior Year student named Kevin who plans a school shooting. The film ultimately ends with Kevin going through with his plans and murdering 38 students at Midtown High, making Kevin the most lethal school shooter in US history.
The film's poster pays homage to a scene in the film where Kevin listens in on a conversation between his parents.
== Plot ==
Eva reluctantly stepped back from her career to raise Kevin, and the two have long been locked in a battle of wills. Kevin seemingly regards everyone, especially his mother, with contempt and hatred, yet pretends to be manageable when Franklin is around. Eva perceives him as deliberately antagonistic, with his behavior ranging from seemingly petty sabotage of Eva's belongings to possibly encouraging a girl to gouge out her eczema-affected skin.
When Kevin is severely ill as a child, he briefly accepts Eva's care for the first time and rejects that of Franklin, seemingly too tired to put on an act of apathy. Eva reads Robin Hood to him, and he takes pleasure in learning archery after he recovers, yet he seems otherwise unable to relate to human passion. As he grows older, he also takes an interest in manipulating his sycophantic friend Leonard, engaging in vandalism, and collecting computer viruses on floppy disks. He unsettles his peers, expresses his disdain for convention by wearing uncomfortably undersized clothes, and follows news of school shooters and mass murderers. In high school, Kevin, Leonard, and two other boys accuse their drama teacher of sexual abuse; Eva is convinced he orchestrated the false accusations.
As Kevin's behavior worsens, Franklin defends him, convinced that his son is normal and instead just often misunderstood. Kevin plays the part of a loving, sensitive son whenever Franklin is around. Eva's apparent dislike for her son and the equally apparent distrust between Eva and Kevin, as well as the mounting distrust between Eva and Franklin, create a rift between the married couple. They have a second child, Celia, whom Franklin believes Eva favors. Kevin is often aggressive towards Celia and takes advantage of her affectionate nature. When Celia is six years old, her pet elephant shrew disappears, and shortly after the sink in the children's bathroom becomes clogged, which Eva clears with a caustic drain cleaner. While Kevin is babysitting Celia, she supposedly finds the cleaner and accidentally destroys her eye and scars her face. Eva is certain that she put the cleaner away and Kevin attacked Celia with it. This accusation leads Franklin to ask for a divorce, intending to take custody of Kevin; Kevin overhears them.
When Eva relates the story of the massacre itself, it is finally revealed that Franklin and Celia are dead. Kevin had killed them both at home with his crossbow before going to his school, where he lured and trapped nine classmates, a cafeteria worker, and a teacher in a gymnasium and attacked them. Eva speculates that he did this because separation in the divorce would deny him a final victory over his mother, or to avoid being trapped in performing normalcy for Franklin. She also believes he selected the people he chose for his victims because he resented them for having interests about which they were passionate. Kevin ensured himself a light sentence by timing the attack for three days before his 16th birthday in order to be charged as a minor, and he used a prescription for Prozac to argue that he was experiencing violent psychotic episodes as a side effect.
The film ends on the second anniversary of the massacre, shortly before Kevin will turn eighteen and be transferred to Sing Sing, a maximum security prison. Subdued and frightened, he gives Celia's prosthetic eye to Eva and apologizes. Eva asks Kevin for the first time why he committed the murders, and Kevin replies that he is no longer sure. They embrace, and Eva concludes that, despite what he did, she loves her son, and she awaits the day he is released so that she can welcome him home again.

== Trauma ==
Trauma is a 2037 American horror film directed and produced by Tyler Jett, with a script penned by Anya Reiss, and a soundtrack headed by Junkie XL. It is Jett's tenth directorial outing, of which it is his fifth producing credit.
The film follows a troubled teenage girl who, with the help of her boyfriend, attempts to stop the man who killed her parents.
== Plot ==
In Minneapolis, chiropractic nurse Georgia Jackson stays after-hours at her practice during a rainstorm to meet a new patient. Upon arrival, Georgia thinks she recognizes the patient, before they brutally decapitate her with an electric-powered wire garrote and disembark with her severed head.
The next day, Aura Petrescu, a troubled young Romanian immigrant suffering from a severe eating disorder, escapes from a local psychiatric hospital and is saved from a suicide attempt on a bridge by David Parsons, a sober drug addict and television newswriter. Aura is soon caught by police, and returned to the home of her parents, Adriana and Stefan. That night, Adriana, a fraudulent psychic, holds a séance for a group of locals seeking the identity of a local serial killer known as the "Head Hunter". Aura flees the house, and is pursued by Adriana and Stefan into the woods, where both are met by the killer, who decapitates them using the same method.
David allows Aura to stay with him at his lakeside home, but is alarmed when he finds her binging and purging the contents of his kitchen. Meanwhile, a young local boy, Gabriel, breaks into a neighbor's house when his pet lizard crawls through their open window. Inside, he discovers the electric garrote, and is unknowingly in the residence of the killer.
While editing news stories about the killer's crimes, David realizes the killer appears to only strike during rainstorms. Meanwhile, Aura ventures into the city to shop at a farmer's market, where she is spotted by Dr. Judd, her obsessive former psychologist, who chases after her before forcing her to return to his home with him. Judd forces Aura to consume berries that produce psychedelic effects, causing her to recall memories of the night her parents were killed. Aura subsequently awakens in the hospital during a rainstorm. The killer arrives, murdering an orderly and decapitating Hilda Volkman, a night nurse, while a drugged Aura attempts to flee. She is saved by David, who has arrived to help her escape. Aura brings with her a keychain dropped by Hilda in the hospital hallway, which includes a key to a storage unit. Gabriel, meanwhile, notices the killer return home that night from his bedroom window, and watches as the gloved individual removes Hilda's severed head from a satchel.
The next morning, David and Aura venture to the storage unit to investigate. Inside, they find postcards and photographs of Hilda with her fellow nurses, among them the deceased Georgia. David identifies one of the nurses as Linda Quirk. David and Aura drive to Linda's home, which is nearby, but she flees by car when she sees them arrive. They track Linda to a local hotel, where they check in as guests in a room below hers. The killer soon arrives, triggering the fire sprinklers in Linda's room before decapitating her as well.
In a last-ditch effort, David tracks down Dr. Lloyd, the murdered nurses' superior who has since lost his medical career and descended into a life of destitution and drug addiction. Lloyd is reticent to speak with David. That night, the killer murders Lloyd in his apartment building by holding his head beneath a descending elevator. David awakens in the middle of the night to find Judd attacking Aura. Judd flees as police arrive, fatally crashing his car. In the trunk, police find the severed heads of Georgia, Hilda, Linda, and Lloyd, and conclude Judd was the killer. After police leave, David finds Aura missing and an apparent suicide note.
Some time later, David, who has lapsed back into addiction and lost his job, sees a cloaked figure in the city wearing a distinctive bracelet Aura owned. He follows the individual to their residence, and is noticed by Gabriel, who is playing outside. David breaks into the home, and finds a nursery with the desiccated corpse of a decapitated infant, before Adriana appears and knocks him unconscious. He awakens and finds himself locked in the basement, alongside Aura—it is revealed that Adriana is in fact the killer, who faked her death, framed Judd, and kidnapped Aura. Adriana has sought vengeance against Lloyd and his nurses, who accidentally cut off her newborn son Nicolas's head during his delivery, due to clumsiness combined with a sudden power outage caused by a thunderstorm. To cover up the accident, the nurses and Dr. Lloyd involuntarily subjected Adriana to electroshock treatment in hopes of erasing her memory of Nicolas's botched delivery and death. A deranged Adriana prepares to kill both Aura and David, but Gabriel breaks into the house and steals her garrote. Adriana instead brandishes a firepoker, but is stopped by Gabriel, who uses the garrote to kill her. Police arrive thereafter, as David comforts a hysterical Aura.
