Superstitious Man is a psychological drama in mythic realism that follows Michael Gerard Murphy,
a hotel operations manager whose life of rigid routine shatters when a call from Ireland pulls him back into a fog-bound coastline of memory, ritual, and inherited terror. Supported by Sunlight Productions Holding LLC , the film merges poetic visual language with precise character work to explore how superstition
can masquerade as logic when we’re most afraid.

“Faith is the fear we choose to believe.”

Story Overview — The Heart of Superstitious Man

Michael believes order is salvation: counted steps, spotless glass, clocks aligned. When his mother’s fading voice warns him of “the cry,” he returns to his Irish hometown and enters a world where wind speaks through doors and silence carries the weight of centuries.

As he clings to rituals—salt at the threshold, candles in threes—he confronts a presence that may be less ghost than mirror.
Superstitious Man traces his descent from control into acceptance, until dawn light breaks the pattern
and he understands that surrender is not failure, but grace.

Cinematic Language — Light, Color, and Composition

The visual strategy moves from sterile geometry to atmospheric release. Act I lives in steel-blue symmetry and glass;
Act II blurs into fog whites and slate grays with candlelit contrast; Act III opens to pale golds and soft amber, a visual exhale. Natural diffusion and reflective surfaces carry emotional meaning, while the camera evolves from locked precision to handheld intimacy.The soundscape replaces score with ocean wind, turning silence into an instrument.

Who This Film Is For

Superstitious Man is designed for audiences who love psychological character studies with spiritual undertones. If titles like First Reformed, The Banshees of Inisherin, or Aftersun moved you, this project speaks
your language—quiet, exacting, and unforgettable. Festival-ready and internationally resonant, the film invites reflection long after the final frame.

Director’s Statement — Why This Story, Why Now

Writer-director Aleksandar Adžić crafts a meditation on the fear beneath our structures. “I grew up between discipline and myth,” he notes. “This film reconciles those worlds through image and breath—
where a hallway becomes a confession, and morning light becomes forgiveness.”

The creative intent is to render belief as lived experience—felt in texture, seen in reflection, and heard in the wind.

Why Superstitious Man Matters

At its core, the film asks a modern question in ancient language: when the world stops making sense, what do we hold onto?
Superstitious Man argues for the beauty of imperfection—an idea captured not with speeches, but with breath,
reflection, and the slow arrival of light.
