IN - MATTHEW HACKETT
INT.STALKERS HOUSE COMPUTER ROOM - NIGHT
There is a silhouette of a man on a computer. On the computer
there red text in a black background. The website changes to
a Facebook page where we see the profile of a man named TOM.
TOM is an early 20's man with his whole life ahead of him.
He's a man with family and friends.
BLACK SCREEN AND MUSICAL CLASH (Monday)
INT. HOUSE - NIGHT
Tom walks into the living room and turns the light off and
sits on the couch. His face is consumed by the light of the
tv screen. The house is three story and attached to two other
houses like any ordinary council house. The lights are all
off apart from the one in the middle floor. The interior of
the house is ordinary but nice; the walls are grey with
everything to say its a warm and welcoming house. On his
table we see a letter from Norwich University which reads "
your application has been successful, we patiently await to
have you study with us in the academic year of 21/22" Across
the table we see more film books and a camera.
CUT TO
Outside the house is silent for a couple moments before we
hear faint but building in strength breathing until a musical
clash. BLACK SCREEN AND MUSICAL CLASH (TUESDAY)
EXT. STREET - DAY
Tom is taking photos and videos on his camera and is
repeatedly lost through the crowd. The same faint breathing
is heard. EXT. PATH - DAY
Through the trees and brushes we see that tom is walking
alone. The same sound of breathing is heard again as tom
passes. As the breathing gets heavier the stalker takes a
step creating a noise. Tom turns and looks into the bushes.
After a couple of seconds he thinks nothing of it and walks

past unaware of the stalker. He walks up the road until he is
out of sight of the stalker whilst breathing intensifies.
BLACK SCREEN AND MUSICAL CLASH (WEDENSDAY)
EXT. HOUSE - NIGHT
The Stalker watches the house patiently, waiting for his time
to strike. The stalker starts to slowly walk towards the
house.
CUT TO
Tom is in the kitchen cooking. He is totally unaware that he
is being stalked. He takes a hand full of vegetables and puts
them on the chopping board. He then pulls out a long kitchen
knife and studies it for a second and then starts to cut the
vegetables on the chopping board.
CUT TO
The Stalker is still moving around the house then stops and
looks over the fence from a distance. He then starts to get
closer, slowly and quietly to avoid being seen.
CUT TO
Unknowing of the stalker Tom holds the knife and begins to
cut into the produce, the knife pierces through it smoothly
and in one steady motion until hitting the chopping board
harshly. Then again and again creating a enduring rhythm of
beats on the board. There's a loud bang on the decking
outside; Tom looks up and walks to the window to investigate.
The night is dark which would make any intruder invisible;
Tom stares through the window studying the dark, slowly
walking to the garden door tom raises his hand to the door
handle. Placing his hand on the handle he takes a final long
look outside, he begins to conclude that it could have been
anything slowly lowering his hand and returns to his cooking.
CUT TO
Peering in through a window we can see tom completely unaware
of being watched continue to make food. Breathing builds to a
musical clash. BLACK SCREEN AND MUSICAL CLASH (THURSDAY)

Like the two previous nights the stalker watches the house,
but the stalker knows tonights the night to strike. The sound
of heavy breathing is masked by the cool somber wind of the
night.
CUT TO
Inside Tom does as he would any other night and locks the doors
and turns of all the lights in the house. He then goes upstairs
and into his bedroom. The house is silent.
CUT TO
The stalker is still outside and is staring at the front door
which tom has just locked. Now is the time and the stalker
starts to slowly walk to the front of the house.
CUT TO
Tom takes the corners of the bed sheet folding it, neatly
making his bed before walking to the light switch and turns
off the light. Darkness fills the room. The same darkness
that masked the stalkers presents in the garden, the same
darkness that masked the stalkers breathing. Tom gets into
bed, not knowing he was in his final moments.
CUT TO
The front door is opened now. The cold air invades the house
however the stalker is no where to be seen, just an opened
door and a empty hallway.
CUT TO
Tom's eyes are shut and all to be heard is his constant,
solid, calm breathing. Tom wasn't in this room, his body was
but his mind was falling into a deep sleep.
CUT TO
The stalker picks up the knife from the previous night and
starts to study it, almost seeing his reflection in the
blade. He then starts to walk up the stairs.
In the dark hall way the stalker slowly passes each door and
pears in. He then goes up stairs and towards Toms bed room.
