DRUGGED
           Story by Alex Bushell.

“One man, one bag of drugs, two body bags.”
Inspirations
I came about this idea after seeing a thread on „Reddit‟ about a mystery
drug, this spurred me to complete some research on the drug itself
whilst also exploring previous cases on its uses.

The drug is called 2C-C-NBOMe, and is the following;
Psychedelic, Euphoriant and a Phenethylamine. The drug appeared
around 2010 and has no medical trails however a small amount of people
have taken this drug and posted their results online. From what I have
read, the drug an be taken by simply breathing it in or by inhaling
through the nose.

Two minutes after taking a hit;
“Everything began to breath, I tried to calm myself down, but it didn't help much. I didn't feel
good, there wasn't any euphoria, or a body high. I started to be overcome by a sense of helplessness
and fear. I realized this dose was way too strong for me to handle, and it had just started. There
was so much breathing, everything was expanding and looked slightly like water colors. I tried to
take a bite of pizza, and my mouth was dry. I had totally lost my appetite, and the food disgusted
me. The main effects I noticed so far were breathing, everything was expanding in and out, and I
couldn't stop it. It was very uncomfortable. Anxiety and paranoia kicked in, I didn't know what to
do. I was starting to lose my sense of time.”
After reading about the previous experience I looked back over the
Reddit thread where I first found out about the drug. Upon closer
inspection I discovered that the drug was most likely blown into his
face, causing his intense hallucinations and paranoia.

With this research in mind I will now move on to talk about the plot
itself.
The Plot
   The story begins with two friends turning up to college, this will be portrayed as an
    average day for the two kids (aged 16-18).

   When in class GREG and JAMES start talking about the weekend and generally about the
    fun they are going to have when drinking.

   The school day finishes and the friends go to their own homes to prepare for the
    weekend ahead.

   Greg leaves his house and proceeds to walk to his James‟ house, on the way he spots a
    homeless man whom is lying on the floor twitching. Greg makes a look of disgust on his
    face before continuing to James‟ house.

   The boys begin drinking at James‟ house and then get a call from a girl that Greg
    mentioned earlier on in the day.

   The boys begin their adventure to the girls house however James mentions that he lives
    in a bad neighborhood. The boys decide to take a pocket knife before they leave.
   The boys are walking and talking on their way to the girls house, the boys decide to
    stop to have a quick drink from the stash that they bought along with them when..

   The tramp seen earlier runs up to the boys and begins yelling gibberish at them before
    raising his hand and blowing a mysterious substance into their face. After this the
    tramp flees the scene, leaving the boys to choke on the substance.

   Within minutes the boys are feeling the effects of the drug (as explained in my
    research), the camera movements and VFX will create a very surreal image.

   The boys begin to stumble their way down the road, collapsing and yelling on occasion.
    James remembers that he has the pocket knife and swiftly pulls it out, slashing and
    yelling at the „Monsters‟ that haunt him.

   James accidently hits Greg in the back with a knife, screaming “Die Monster!” as he
    does, Greg falls to the floor and begins yelling about how he‟s melting into hot juices.

   At this point James drops to his knees to support Greg‟s flailing body. From behind a
    boot comes down and kicks James‟ in the back, pushing him forward onto the knife.

   James takes this hit however is too full of adrenaline to feel it. Instead of screaming in
    pain he throws himself at the possessor of the boot. It turns out to be the Tramp that
    blew the drug into the boys face. James let‟s out a scream of pure terror, taking the
    knife out of his chest and lunging at the Tramps neck.

   The hefty Tramp falls to the floor, bleeding and twitching with a knife extending from
    his neck. James takes a step back, taking a look at his deceased attacker before
    dropping to the floor.
DRUGGED
The film will aim to be a low budget Horror/Thriller
however may hold some Comedy within the story. I
would aim to show this film at film festivals to get
myself recognized. My aim is to scare the audience
with the extreme effects of some drugs whilst still
retaining the horror of the film.

I want to use some slow motion In the film along with
creating a 3D edit as both can add to the effect of the
hallucinations.

Thank you for listening.
