“TO CAPTURE EVIL” is a modern day psychological thriller set in an isolated farming community in rural Ben Wheeler,Texas. Our story begins with a recently married couple, MILES and DEVIN, as they are settling into their first home with their newborn, SADIE. The majestic plains serve as a near perfect scene to begin a life other than the fact that a gruesome crime has just rocked the sanctity of the once peaceful town.
Upon hearing the news of the discovery of an adolescent girl’s decapitated body; Devin becomes an overbearing, tyrant of a wife intent on protecting her baby by installing a home security system. One night, Miles seeks refuge from his marital problems and travels to a local tavern. It is here that he befriends a local beauty named, CLAIRE. A friendly conversation turns dark quickly when Claire insists that he and his family are being admired by someone. Initially, Miles dismisses the remark until he begins to leave and notices Claire whispering something to a shady character who gives him the evil eye.
Upon his return home, Miles searches for the code to the security system but can’t find it. Regardless, he twists the knob on the front door and it opens. A rush of fear trickles down his body because he knows how psychotic Devin has been about safety lately. Then as he cautiously enters his home he discovers a horrific sight. Through the gleaming moonlight, Miles sees the silhouette of Devin’s lifeless body hanging from a ceiling fan. A knife wielding hand appears behind Miles but he flees upstairs before he is struck. He seeks refuge in Sadie’s room but quickly discovers she is missing from her crib.
Footsteps creep near the door…
In a state of pure panic and with nothing to defend himself with, Miles rushes out of the room and sends the intruder tumbling down the staircase. Although it seems as if the intruder is dead, Miles drags the body into his basement and ties it to a chair. An interrogation ensues but he gets no response. In frustration, Miles repeatedly hits the intruder until it lets out a gasp. It’s a woman’s voice. He rips off her mask to reveal that it’s CLAIRE, the woman from the bar.
At this point, Miles alludes that he is about to call the police when Claire, states that if he does, his baby will die. Claire then reveals to Miles that she is the sister of the young girl who was murdered earlier. She tells the story of a man who blackmailed her to kill a family by holding her sister ransom. Since she didn’t comply her sister was murdered. According to her, she is just a pawn into the real psychopaths’ plans. Miles soon realizes that to capture this killer he must first become one.
What follows is a chain reaction of terrifying murders that brings a small Texas town to its knees.
“TO CAPTURE EVIL” can be best described as “LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT” meets “SAW.” A psychological thriller that asks what a man is capable of when the ones he holds dearest are placed in unthinkable jeopardy.
