5 Minute short horror film.
Brief synopsis
Soundtrack plays over black screen, quick cut-away shots of three girls walking down an empty
street, illuminated by streetlights. The shots appear hazy to create the effect that the girls are under
the influence of drugs/alcohol. One of the girls is smoking a spliff (fake of course) adding to the
assumption that they are high. The setting is dark and dimly lit by the streetlights, as the girls turn a
corner we see that they are talking and laughing excitably, however the soundtrack continues to
play, no dialogue is heard. As the girls approach a door the shots slows down, building tension. A
male character (around 18/19 years old) opens the door and stands in back into the shadow to let
them pass him by. As the girls stumble through the menacing doorway, the man slams the door shut.
The soundtrack stops as the shot lingers in the door.
As the next scene appears, it remains silent. We see a few shots of the room, showing the ominous
appearance of it, it also shows the three girls sitting nervously on the chairs in the room, draped
around the room are dark sheets blocking out any light except for the harsh, unnatural light in the
middle of the room, and a few candles placed around the room. One of the more nervous looking
girls gets up and starts towards the door but is blocked by the male character that invited them in as
he re-enters the room. Through a different door four other dark, dominating figures enter the room
and stand threateningly at the back of the room. The main male character takes out a knife that
glimmers in the candle light; he turns it in his hand as a silent threat. The two girls that were still
sitting down then stand up and make an attempt towards the second door, the shot is slowed down,
the dark figures from the back of the room, still in slow-motion, block the girls attempt and pull
them into the room, from this point the shot then speeds up and the door slams shut. This leaves
the ‘nervous girl’ and the ‘male character’ in the room alone. The scene fades to black and a harsh
scream is heard over the black screen.
The next scene shows the ‘nervous girl’ lying on a table with a black sheet draped over her body, her
arms bound above her head. Her face shows her fear as she begins to realise that she is a sacrifice
for a viscous cult. Blood is dripping from the table onto the floor and there is a bucket in the corner
with blood-stained clothes spilling out of it. A shot from the eyes of the girl is shown, the shot is
hazed to represent that she is waking up from a state of unconsciousness. The only sound heard is a
murmur of a chant, the lighting is dim and there are more candles in this room, with no unnatural
light. Next to the table is a smaller table with various knives laid out, the male character walks over
and picks up one of the smaller knives from the table. A shot of the girls face in close-up shows the
terror in her eyes, in pure desperation she summons her strength to take one of the knives and
plunges it into the approaching male character. As he falls to the ground in slow-motion the girl
looks up with her sweat-soaked hair stuck to her face and bloodied. The dark figures step back into
the shadows, as the girl picks up the most impressive looking knife and swings her legs off the table.
The finals shot is of her wiping the hair from her face to show the look on her face and her *eyes
glowing red, hinting that she intends to extract revenge.
*Depending how much time I have with editing.
