Treatment 2 - By Brett Cooper

Audience - 15 - 40 year olds and the film will appeal to males because of the dominant male figure in the film.


The Storyline:
We are introduced to girl that is in her room and she seems that she has come back from school/college. We are shown a photo of what we believe is of her group of friends then we are shown flash backs of three of them being murdered we almost feel that we were there watching the murders. Then the voice of Rachael is telling us what happened to her friends as she gets ready to go out with friends. However as she is shutting her curtains ready to go out she thinks she sees a man watching her she thinks she is seeing things so she looks away and looks back and he is gone. After the events that took place in her room she heads over to friends but is watched and stalked all the time but this is to her unknown. She arrives at her friends they finish getting ready for the night and then head out to the party which is in a nearby woods. However they have a guest coming with them to the party but they do not know the stalker is right behind them watching there every move as they enter the woods to the party with their friends.
After a few hours of partying a few of her friends have gone missing Rachael is worried and starts to worry as this wood is where her friends died. She tries to grab her friend Laura and go home, again her friend reassures her and says they will have gone for a walk and will be back soon.
we then see the Rachael sat by the fire when through the flames she sees the stalker again and the 'Jack in a Box' is in her hand. She screams and starts to run as she realizes that all her friends have been killed. However Rachael ran the wrong way head further and further into the woods. She eventually thinks that she has a big enough gap between her and the stalker when she hides in a old bomb shelter. However she then still thinks this could all be in her head she thinks to herself why has no one else sounded the alarm or got away.
She hears a noise and and starts to realize that its the stalker outside, believing that this is all in her head she thinks that the right thing to do is confront this stalker weather he be a figure in her head or real. She creeps up behind him hits him over the head and he falls to the floor. She grabs his weapon and stands over him only to see the shock on her face as she realizes who it is but we are not shown his identity.
The film then fades out and fades back in to morning and we are still at the same scene with the dead stalker and Rachael in shock at the side of him Police have then found the girl and take her home.
We are then shown the police interviewing Rachael about events, she tells them why she killed the man but the police who is this she reveals it was Mr. Heatherway from her Primary School. The police reply to her by saying that he has been dead for four years and there was no body on the scene when they arrived.
