## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Pine needles frozen under moonlight, upstate New York, late autumn.  
A dinner table set for five, one chair overturned. Outside, the treeline pulses with silent blue flickers.  
Like Haneke scoring a VHS-era UFO cult film, it makes paranoia feel domestic.

**Mood tags**: dread, slow-burn
