CALDER: THE HUNTER OF LEGENDS

Genre: Horror

“To kill a monster… sometimes you need one.”

Logline:

A haunted drifter with the lethal skills of a John Wick–style warrior comes to a small town stalked by a blank-faced killer. When a YouTuber’s stunt traps local teens inside an abandoned mall, Calder must partner with a broken detective to hunt the slasher before it wipes out the next generation.

Synopsis:

The town lives in fear of the Mannequin Killer—a silent, Halloween-like figure who butchers teens inside an abandoned mall. A reckless YouTuber ups the stakes by offering a million-dollar livestream challenge: survive one night inside.

Detective Dana Phillips, drinking herself numb after her mother’s death, learns her younger sister Charlotte has joined the dare. With no leads and time running out, she turns to Calder—a mythic “hunter of legends” whispered about in hushed tones, a man some call the Bushido.

Calder arrives like a gunslinger from a spaghetti western: a lone figure stepping out of the dust, feared as much as he is needed. His past is clouded in rumor—some say he’s worse than the monsters he hunts—but when the Mannequin Killer strikes, Calder’s brutal, John Wick-like efficiency shatters all doubt.

Inside the mall, teenagers are slaughtered one by one as their livestream dies. Calder navigates the claustrophobic halls like a predator, his code of honor the only thing separating him from the evil he fights. Dana races to save her sister, even as Calder uncovers a chilling truth: the killer isn’t alone.

The climax erupts into a bloody showdown between warrior and slasher, where Calder’s skill and stoic resolve are pushed to the edge. By dawn, the legend of Calder grows darker—he saved the town, but at what cost?

Calder is the man with no name of horror—a lone gunfighter who hunts slashers made flesh, hired by survivors and desperate officials, feared by all. The beginning of a franchise where myth and horror collide.

Evil makes legends. Calder hunts them.
