## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn leaves swirl around a decaying Victorian house, a single syringe glinting on the porch.  
John pries open his mother’s locked study, where petri dishes pulse and photographs show a child not in any family album.  
Spielberg’s suburban unease meets Cronenberg’s flesh horror, if Spielberg hated families.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, dread, raw
