Baby Blue

In the modern era of true crime podcasts and vlogs, it's no surprise that a group of teenagers would be fascinated by the story of Baby Blue, a notorious serial killer who terrorized small towns in the 1970s. But what started as a seemingly harmless obsession quickly turns deadly as the teens discover that Baby Blue's murder spree may not have ended with his own death. The story follows a group of five high school friends who stumble upon an old, abandoned TV news van in the woods. Inside, they find a dusty old VHS tape with a cryptic label: "The Story of Baby Blue." The teens, consisting of Alex, the charismatic leader; Sarah, the group's resident true crime nerd; Jake, the cameraman; Mia, the outspoken and feisty one; and Ben, the quiet but resourceful tech expert, are initially hesitant to watch the tape, but their curiosity gets the better of them. As they delve deeper into Baby Blue's story, they become increasingly enthralled by his twisted methods and motives. The serial killer, who was never caught or brought to justice, has left behind a trail of unsolved murders and a cryptic legacy that continues to captivate true crime aficionados. The teens see an opportunity to create a vodcast that will catapult them to fame and make them the next big names in the true crime podcast world. However, as they dig deeper, they start to notice strange coincidences and eerie occurrences that suggest Baby Blue's dark presence still lingers. They receive mysterious messages and threats that seem to come from an unknown number, but the messages themselves are always cryptic and unsettling. It becomes clear that Baby Blue's murder spree may not have stopped at his own death, and that the teens are now being targeted from beyond the grave. As the threats escalate, the group becomes increasingly paranoid and divided. Some want to continue their investigation, convinced that they can uncover the truth behind Baby Blue's continued presence, while others want to cut their losses and walk away from the project. The pressure mounts as the teens start to vanish one by one, leaving the remaining members to fend for themselves. Sarah, who had initially taken the lead on researching Baby Blue, becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind his continued killing spree. She discovers that Baby Blue's victims were all connected by a single thread: a rare genetic disorder that left them vulnerable to suggestion and manipulation. The teens realize that Baby Blue had been using his victims' unique characteristics to exploit and control them, and that his true intentions were far more sinister than they initially thought. As the remaining teens close in on the truth, they discover that Baby Blue's accomplice – a charismatic and intelligent partner who had been instrumental in helping him evade capture – had been quietly manipulating events from behind the scenes. The accomplice, who had escaped justice, had been secretly feeding information to the teens to throw them off the scent and to continue his own twisted game. In a climactic showdown, the remaining teens face off against Baby Blue's accomplice in a desperate bid to expose the truth and free themselves from the killer's grasp. In the end, they manage to outsmart the accomplice and expose the dark secrets behind Baby Blue's continued murder spree, but not before the accomplice reveals a chilling twist: Baby Blue's true mastermind was never a person, but a twisted ideology that had captured the minds of countless individuals, including his own. The film concludes with the teens, now forever scarred by their experience, reflecting on the true horror of Baby Blue's actions and the lasting legacy of his twisted ideology. As they walk away from the abandoned TV news van, they know that they have uncovered a dark secret that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
