The Upright™
“Field goals become mythic horror gates.” Sports ritual as cosmic judgment.
The Upright™ weaponizes the field goal into mythic terror. When a rookie NFL kicker hears the uprights hum, they discover the posts are a living gate that feeds on belief, fracturing reality with every miss and doink. Blending Hereditary dread with Any Given Sunday velocity, the film reframes goalposts as cosmic thresholds—arches, torii, borders—devouring attention as fuel. Franchise hooks extend across sports and cultures, each with their own Upright. It’s not a game. It’s the gate.
