Plot Synopsis

Distorted


The opening scene of our film is a flashback of the main events within the film.
In the story the little girl's parents die in a car crash on the way to the lake, she managed to escape from the wreckage as she was small enough to climb out moments before the car exploded. The girl then has to live with her aunt, who takes her to her parents funeral. At the funeral there is a shifty looking man who tries to comfort her. The man then becomes violent and drags her towards the church. As he forces her up the stairs her head hits one of the concrete steps which leaves her unconscious. The man panics as he thinks he may have killed her, so he abuses her and leaves her on the stairs not knowing whether she is dead or alive.
You then watch the man after this event, you follow him through his usual life, and everything seems fine until he starts seeing the girl everywhere he goes. She appears and then quickly disappears before he can be sure of what he saw. His guilt is growing. Then one evening he is walking his dog through a forest and you see her following him, appearing and disappearing just like before, then suddenly she stabs him, he falls to the ground and struggles, begging her not to kill him while the dog runs away. He then falls silent and she thinks he is dead but then as she is walking away he grabs her foot. She swiftly turns around and stabs him in the head. She then drops the knife and it bounces on the ground, she got her revenge. The end.


We decided that if we made the opening scene a flashback then the audience would want to continue watching the film because they would become curious as to what happened to the man who is dead on the floor, and also what happened to the little girl to make her like this.
The plot is quite violent which is one of the features of a horror film. The idea of someone following you and watching you all the time is creepy and would make the audience nervous and uncomfortable. Also we have included gore, this is when the girl stabs the man, particularly when she stabs him in the head. These are some of the things that are needed to create a successful horror film.
