🎬 Title: Cruel Peter

He was the most ruthless of them all

Story: Set in Christmas 1908, the affluent coastal city of Messina serves as the backdrop for this chilling tale. Peter, a 13-year-old from a wealthy English family, has earned a notorious reputation for his cruelty towards both children and animals. One fateful night, a servant boy from his mother’s estate takes matters into his own hands and buries Peter alive in a coffin, deep in the city’s Gothic cemetery. The situation escalates when a devastating earthquake levels Messina, leaving Peter trapped and forgotten—until a century later when an English archaeologist and his daughter arrive to unearth the past.
