Universal Studios Hollywood however, hired Ravinski to create the ultimate horror movie after staff members have seen some of Ravinski's more tamer work such as The Blood Letting and Death Procession, but when Universal requested Paulo to submit a short film detailing his project for executives to watch. They weren't ready for what they saw next as which contained real torture and death, they claimed Pavel’s sick vision was too graphic for movie audiences and had the project canceled permanently. Banning Paulo in the process from studio grounds, but little they knew about Ravinski taking up residential quarters inside an abandoned backlot set inside the park of Universal. Plotting revenge on the folks that fired him while continuing on his gruesome work as more of the employees and visitors began going missing. The Director will see you now..
