Patient Zero Memory
Alex Rook returns to his quiet hometown seeking closure, but his plans derail when his childhood friend and local cop, Sam Whitlow, confides in him: a serial killer is targeting psychologists in the area. The deaths seem unrelated until patterns emerge-every victim worked with or under the founder of a controversial psychology facility, and all were found dead from apparent drug overdoses. The facility was running secret trials of an experimental drug-A9913-meant to boost memory retention by 300%. But the drug was suddenly destroyed in a fire before it could reach public testing. As Alex and his unlikely team-Leila Voss, a sharp lawyer with buried ties to the case, Damon Cruz, a paranoid but gifted outcast, and Sam-dive deeper, they discover the serial killer once participated in the same trial. Now, without access to the drug, they must rely on instinct, flawed memories, and fragmented clues. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize: this killer isn't just trying to erase the past... he's trying to control what gets remembered.Terminé

Manila Vampires: Mata'i - Tao
"Manila is sinking, in blood." Set in an alternate universe Philippines. A wave of brutal, unexplainable murders sweeps across the nation, so grotesque that rumors begin to spread of a hidden society of cannibals, an underground community that feasts on human flesh. When the sun disappears from Manila's skyline, creatures emerge from the shadows of narrow alleyways, beings addicted to blood and raw meat. They move among ordinary people with hollow stomachs and predatory eyes, hunting for their next prey. Some are descendants of ancient cannibal tribes from a known ancient Visayan Folklore. Others come from bloodsucking clans in the western lands rooting from the history of Spanish Colonization. And now, they are all converging on Manila. An 18-year-old student activist, obsessed with exposing the truth behind her mother's murder, begins investigating the rising body count-only to find herself stalked by the shadows that poison him with a life-changing curse. A 36-year-old former NBI investigator, broken by the slaughter of his entire family, is recruited into a secret organization created by the President's underground force, sworn to purge the darkness spreading across the city. A former 'immortal' supersoldier turned CIA Agent is deployed to the Philippines to investigate a charismatic megachurch pastor linked to mass murders committed by a Filipino-American community in California. His past wars have hardened him... but the horrors he finds here ignite a new obsession. Bound by fate, the unlikely trio must uncover the truth behind the killings before the entire nation is swallowed whole by the coming darkness - born not only from its own soil, but from distant lands drifting in with deadly intent.
