A PRISONER IN YOUR OWN BODY

POWERLESS is HORROR at its core, with FAMILY at its heart.

POWERLESS is a gripping, multilayered cinematic experience that fuses horror, science fiction, and family drama.

 

When four estranged siblings reunite under mysterious circumstances, they are forced to confront long-buried secrets and fractured relationships. Jeremy, the eldest, returns reluctantly with a dark secret that threatens to unravel their fragile reunion. Kat and Liam navigate turbulent family dynamics, while Emma, the youngest, begins exhibiting strange symptoms eerily reminiscent of their late parents’ mysterious illness.

​

 

As the siblings attempt to mend their broken bonds, they experience terrifying symptoms—choking, double vision, and difficulty walking—that mirror Multiple Sclerosis. The horror escalates as ghostly visions of their deceased parents emerge, blurring the lines between science and the supernatural.

 

Through innovative storytelling, POWERLESS reimagines Multiple Sclerosis as a haunting blend of body horror and science fiction. This unique approach raises awareness about the disease while exploring themes of survival, perception, and the complexities of family.

​

 

Crafted with a modest $750,000 budget, POWERLESS maximizes its impact through limited locations, a small cast, and practical effects that intensify its psychological horror. The film’s genre-defying narrative positions it as a standout in a crowded market, appealing to fans of horror, sci-fi, and emotionally charged dramas alike.

​

 

With its spine-chilling story and heartfelt exploration of family dynamics, POWERLESS captivates audiences while shedding light on an often misunderstood medical condition—offering both critical acclaim potential and significant investment appeal.
