Until Death Do Us Part

The
Vow

Four brides. One groom. Two hours to choose.

Run

There is nowhere to run.

01 — Logline
20 min · Psychological Horror

Four women wake chained in a concrete chamber, dressed in wedding gowns. A box of weapons. A ticking clock. One man wants a bride. They have two hours to decide who survives — or he will decide for them.

02 — The World

A room with no doors.

Concrete, skylight, scarlet floor. The architecture of a chapel re-imagined as a slaughterhouse — beautiful, brutal, sacred.

03 — Tone

Bridal couture meets brutalist horror.

Saint Maud × Saw × The Handmaid's Tale
Painterly compositions. Renaissance martyrdom.
Silence broken by the metronome of a clock.
Color: bone, concrete, blood. Nothing else.

06 — Themes

What does a woman owe to survive?

Resistance
Survival
Complicity

The Vow weaponizes the iconography of marriage — the gown, the vow, the until-death — and asks what it costs a woman to say yes when no was never an option.

Become a witness.
