Some remakes aren't just a bad idea...they're deadly.
Journalist Laura Warren is mid-flight to LA when she learns that the streaming series, she's about to report on is a remake of a '90s horror flick. A cursed '90s horror flick. The one that she starred in and has been running from her whole life.
As a child star, Laura was cast as the lead in The Guesthouse. She played Tammy Manners, the little girl with the terrifying gift to tell people how the Needle Man would kill them. But her big break was her last, as eight of her cast and crew mates died in mysterious ways, and the film became infamous, a cult classic of fictional horror that somehow summoned the real thing. Hoping to move on from all the negative press, Laura changed her name and her accent, dyed her hair, and moved across the Atlantic Ocean.
But some scripts don't want to stay buried.
Soon after landing, Laura finds a yellow dress just like the one she wore in the movie. Then the words "She's here" scratched into the wall in an actor's trailer. And then people working on the series start dying. It's all happening again, Laura's worst nightmare brought to life, and she finds herself on the run with her sister and a jaded psychic, hoping to find answers, and to stay out of the Needle Man's lethal reach.
An homage to slasher films with a fresh take on the true price of fame, “Burn the Negative” is a twisty thriller best read with the lights on.
