The film pitch proposes a psychological horror film titled "The Protagonist". It would follow Amy, the next target of a serial killer who murders young girls in their town. The Protagonist secretly stalks and follows Amy before kidnapping her. The story would follow Amy's time as the killer's hostage, during which she discovers evidence of his other victims. Amy eventually escapes and the Protagonist is arrested. In questioning, it is revealed that the killer murders girls with plaster masks due to accidentally killing his sister as a child.

Justification for your ideas –
Follows a conventional storyline; the murderer is a male and he’s mentally unstable, also the victim is
a young ‘damsel in distress’ character. The storyline also follows ‘The Last Woman Standing’ as Amy
survives in the end of the film and manages to escape The Protagonist. The murderer has mental
health issues and is shut off from the real world, he’s very isolated from his surroundings and lives
alone, and this is common in horror films.
