The Final Cut

Author:Annie Fowler

Struggling filmmaker Leo Vance lands a dream job at the enigmatic Aperture Studios, a place that promises to turn his pain into art. But the studio's methods are brutal, their sets are unnervingly real, and the cameras never stop rolling. He soon discovers the studio isn't just making movies—it's a cult that worships a monstrous god of cinema, Obscura. To create the perfect film, they require the ultimate sacrifice. Now, Leo is cast as the lead in their final masterpiece, and the only way to survive is to give the performance of a lifetime, blurring the line between his grief and their gruesome script until he no longer knows where the acting ends and his own destruction begins.
