Cold Moon 2017

In the quaint town of Babylon, Florida, life takes a dark turn when Margaret Larkin (Sara Catherine Bellamy), a sweet sixteen-year-old girl, mysteriously vanishes. The community’s sense of security is shattered as despair settles over the residents when her lifeless body is discovered in the river, cruelly bound to her bicycle. This shocking revelation unveils a deep undercurrent of fear within the town, provoking a frantic search for the person responsible for this heinous crime.

As the investigation progresses, suspicion begins to circle around Nathan Redfield (Josh Stewart), the sociopathic son of James Redfield (Christopher Lloyd), the town’s wealthy banker. Nathan exhibits an icy demeanor, expertly masking his malicious intentions under a guise of normality. His chilling scheme revolves around the brutal elimination of the entire Larkin family, all to seize their valuable property, rich in petroleum, which his father’s bank is eager to secure. With each calculated move, Nathan reveals his ruthless ambition, carefully orchestrating the steps needed to eradicate the Larkins from existence.

However, Nathan’s malevolence extends beyond mere murder; he devises a cunning plot to frame Principal Harris (Marcus Lyle Brown) for the series of killings. By manipulation of evidence and leveraging his societal influence, Nathan aims to transfer suspicion away from himself, ensuring that the Larkin property can be acquired without opposition. Fueled by a dangerous sense of confidence, he embarks on his relentless quest to achieve his goals.

But the chilling game Nathan plays takes a dramatic turn when the spirits of the Larkin family arise from the grave, transformed into relentless ghosts. These vengeful entities—seen only by Nathan—begin to haunt him, relentlessly reminding him of his treachery. Their ghostly presence flickers before him, inducing madness as he struggles to cope with vivid and terrifying visions that creep into his mind.

As the hallmarks of his sanity begin to fade, Nathan resorts to alcohol, desperately attempting to drown out the ghostly apparitions that torment him. However, this only propels him further down a path of insanity. The once-calculated killer spirals into chaos, overrun by guilt, fear, and paranoia, while the persistent Larkin spirits unceasingly haunt him, driving him to the edge.

In his growing desperation, Nathan acts impulsively, becoming violent and reckless, further alienating himself from those around him. Drawing heightened suspicion from the townsfolk, he finds himself ensnared in a web of his own making.

As the story reaches its tense climax, Nathan’s crumbling psyche faces its ultimate challenge. The Larkin family’s spirits exact their final revenge, prompting Nathan to commit an act of utter desperation. Confronted by the weight of his own guilt and the relentless torment from the ghosts, he meets his grim fate. His carefully maintained façade shatters, engulfing him in the very horrors he sought to impose on others.

In the aftermath, the town of Babylon is left to reckon with the tragic events that transpired, grappling with the exposure of the Redfield family’s dark secrets. The eerie and supernatural justice that unfolds serves as a haunting reminder of the darkness that can permeate even the most seemingly tranquil communities.
