The Story
CHECKED OUT is a chilling psychological thriller that follows the life of a serial killer navigating a conflicted internal struggle — torn between the darkness of his past and the monster he has become.
Set against the backdrop of a seemingly ordinary vacation rental, the film peels back the surface of the mundane to reveal a world of hidden menace, moral ambiguity, and terrifying consequence.
Written and directed by Joshua Pavlock and produced through Osprey Media Studios, Checked Out is the bold opening chapter of a planned trilogy — a cinematic vision made entirely in Virginia.
