Once you've seen the future, you can't look away.
Why it is hard sci-fi
Three roommates inherit a Polaroid camera that produces a single image of a fixed location twenty four hours into the future. The film commits to one rule. The camera takes one image per day at the same time, the image must be allowed to come true, and the trio operates under the constraint that any deviation collapses the loop. The horror is in the discipline.
Science inside it
A point-of-view temporal sensor, the operational limits of acting on a daily prediction, and the slow corruption of a small group running an arbitrage on the future. The film also engages with the problem of what happens when the camera images itself.
Spoiler alert
The cameras images include a dead body in the apartment several days ahead of the kill. The roommates discover that they themselves are the source of every event in every image. The loop is closed by their own actions, and the films final image is the one that started it.
