SCP

Deep within a classified research facility operated by a covert global organization, an anomaly known only as SCP-096 is contained in total isolation. Humanoid in shape, pale and emaciated, the entity is completely passive—so long as no human ever sees its face. That rule is broken during a routine satellite reconnaissance mission in the Arctic Circle, when a civilian hiker unknowingly captures SCP-096’s face in a long-range photograph. Within minutes, alarms ignite across the facility. SCP-096 begins to scream. What follows is not chaos—but inevitability. Once its face is viewed, SCP-096 enters a state of extreme psychological distress before relentlessly hunting the viewer, no matter the distance, terrain, or defenses between them. Walls, vehicles, and human resistance mean nothing. The entity does not stop. It does not slow. And it does not fail. As a rapid-response containment team races to intercept SCP-096 before it reaches its target, they begin to uncover disturbing truths: SCP-096 is not acting out of rage, but terror—driven by a compulsion it cannot control. Each breach leaves behind unrecognizable carnage, forcing the team to question whether containment is even possible… or ethical. The mission escalates when a catastrophic containment error exposes multiple personnel to SCP-096’s face via corrupted body-cam footage. With several victims now marked, the organization must make an impossible decision: sacrifice innocent lives to preserve secrecy, or attempt an untested procedure that could permanently alter—or destroy—the entity. As SCP-096 tears through military strongholds and urban infrastructure with horrifying precision, the film shifts from survival horror to existential dread. The closer the creature comes to its final target, the clearer it becomes that SCP-096 is not a monster to be killed—but a tragedy to be understood. The final act traps survivors in a sealed underground facility as SCP-096 breaches containment one last time. In a desperate bid to end the cycle, a scientist willingly exposes herself to SCP-096’s face, drawing it into a controlled environment where its nature—and origin—are finally revealed. The film ends not with victory, but silence. SCP-096 is recontained. The world remains unaware. And the rule still stands: Do not look at its face.
