Group: Film Treatment

Film Treatment:

A teen psycho-horror; which begins with a teenager waking up alone in some woods, bloody and bruised. He picks up an abandoned video camera which is lying alone, pointing at a car. He picks up the camera, and runs to the car and drives it back to an abandoned barn.

There, he obsessionally watches back footage from the video camera, fast forwarding to the end where there is a prolonged shot of the car, showing a figure climbing into the boot before he picked up the camera and drove off. He goes out to the car, and sees the boot open, a trail of blood leading off into the woods.

He runs back into the barn, locking himself inside. The rest of the film diverges between two lines of action. Firstly, the student watching back the footage, which tells the story of how he and two other media students went filming in their local woods and were ambushed along the way. The second line of action is the student in the barn trying to avoid a present antagonist, who seems to be in the barn with him.

The film ends with the student making a run for it, getting into the car. Before he gets in, the audience sees the antagonist - a young girl - climbing into the boot. The student drives off.

  1. Very interesting concept - informed by research with an original twist.
