Inspired by true events, Black Spines centers on a chilling Detroit legend of a man in a long red coat known as “The Pill,” rumored to be responsible for numerous disappearances, including children like the Kroger heir. One fateful night, this legend became terrifyingly real for the director’s father when, as a child, he was left handcuffed to a swing set, when a dark, frightening figure approached…and tried to take him. Ironically those same handcuffs saved his life, preventing The Pill from claiming him – and instilling a lasting fear that haunted him for years. This terrifying encounter sets the stage for Black Spines. The film transports us to the sleepy town of Page Hollow, where a string of gruesome murders shatters the quiet community. Shortly after the first killings, outcast high school photographer Cameron discovers a collection of mysterious VHS tapes that may contain cryptic clues to the murders.
