## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A flickering neon sign buzzes over a cracked MOTEL sign in the Missouri rain.  
Two lovers, a carjacked SUV, and two bickering thugs—trapped with a shifting, chittering horror blooming in the trunk.  

A grimy horror-thriller where the real predator isn’t human at all.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, raw, unhinged
