WE MUST ESCAPE FROM OUR PLANET AND HEAD FOR EARTH!: #RetroRadio EP0370

#RetroRadio EP0378 | Written by Arthur Samuels, “The Repossession” delves into psychological horror. It follows Robert, a man haunted by nightmares of his conjoined twin brother, Douglas, who died thirty years prior. As Robert’s life begins to unravel, he suspects that Douglas’s spirit is orchestrating the chaos. The narrative builds tension as Robert confronts the possibility that his brother’s influence persists beyond death.
