As with every good slasher movie, it must end with the climatic chase scene. In the case of realistic, old school slasher Scythe, there’s a chase of a different kind… a race to the finish line, that is. The film from Jim Rothman is nearing the end of its Kickstarter campaign and it’s only raised about $31,000 which is about $19,000 short of its goal. There’s only 4 days left to go and with Kickstarter, it’s all or nothing. Rothman & Co really need your help over the next few days. Have you ever had a dream (or nightmare?) so close to coming true that you could almost touch it? If so, then you can relate to a filmmaker’s desire to create and produce their passion project. Please strongly consider donating to the Scythe Kickstarter campaign. It’s cheesy, but every dollar will help, especially when you’re more than half way to the finish line.

“On the week of prom night in Concord North Carolina, RONALD WADE, known as The Grim Reaper Killer, escaped a prison transport and breaks into a hardware store, surprising high school student EMILY JOHNSON, the store owner’s daughter. Under the cover of the store’s blackout, a hide-or-be killed cat and mouse game ensues, ending with several stab wounds to Emily’s back with a SCYTHE, the killer’s signature weapon. A television left on breaks the news of the Grim Reaper’s escape and highlights his exploits, as he swings a scythe at Emily, beheading her. She is his latest victim. And his first mistake.

With prom cancelled and a mandatory curfew in effect, shy teen MEGAN MILLER is forced by her best friend KIM to meet with AMY, VICKY, REBECCA, and JENNIFER after hours at the abandoned pool for a party. At the pool party Megan opens up about her desire to be great, to be worthy of someone worth knowing. This confession leads the girls to bond and build a sisterhood to watch out for one another. Unbeknownst to them outside hovers the Grim Reaper Killer, targeting them as his newest victims. When young, disgraced FBI AGENT CHRIS GIBSON is tasked with recapturing the killer he encounters the seasoned US MARSHAL JOHN DECKER. After a jurisdictional dispute the two begrudgingly join forces. While examine Emily’s body it is Agent Gibson that discovers the killer’s mistake: this is not the work of The Grim Reaper Killer. It is someone else…”
