The House on the Borderland

A film by James Coleman

Logline

A grieving recluse defends his isolated home from creatures emerging from a pit on the grounds — but as the siege continues, time collapses, and he discovers his house may stand on the threshold of eternity.

Synopsis

In a remote valley, a man and his sister live alone in a circular house built above a vast ravine. When grotesque figures rise from the darkness below, he fortifies the home against their assault.

As the nights drag on, reality begins to decay. He witnesses the death of stars, the collapse of time, and the unraveling of the universe itself.

What begins as a siege becomes an awakening — a confrontation with the infinite.
