Film Idea (1)

The protagonist will be female, as more people voted for a female protagonist in the questionnaire.
  • The teenage, female protagonist moves to a new house with her older sister. We discover early on that she has a history of mental health, yet her past shall remain ambiguous to intrigue the audience.
  • The girl is attacked near her house and begins to have traumatic nightmares of murders.
  • As she begins to get to know people in the new area, they start to feature in her dreams. The people in the area are very close and they make her feel like an outsider.
  • A girl she has met, and has been in the nightmare, goes missing.
  • She ventures to the place the girl was murdered in her nightmare and finds the dead body and weapon.
  • Residents become suspicious of her knowledge.
  • She begins to predict the murders and as she does so residents suspicions grow.
  • Her sister has a new boyfriend and the girls nightmares start to appear at any moment and include the boyfriend as the murderer, she believes he will try to murder her and her sister, yet no-one believes her.
  • The girl comes home one night to find her carer and the boyfriend tied to chairs. A masked man suddenly appears at the scene and mentally torments her about her past. We find out that she had a violent past, in which she saw her mother kill her father.
  • The murderer is out to seek revenge for his daughter's death, who died in the killings and plants ideas into her head that she murdered his daughter and all of the other people in the area. She has images of committing the crimes and we begin to question if she actually did or did not do them.
  •  He threatens that if she owns up to the crime, he will spare their lives but if she refuses he will murder them and create the scene to look like she murdered the family and he will provide a witness testimony.
  • She refuses and he shoots the boyfriend, he gives her a final chance to spare her sister's life, and suddenly the police surround the area. Despite the fact that the man obviously has killed someone, the police arrest the girl as they feel she is a threat to the community and the man was not in his right state of mine. The corrupt police take the girl away and we see them burying two bodies in a field. They killed her sister too, so she couldn't protest.
This idea contains themes that run throughout many thrillers; death, murder, crime, supernatural.
