ACT 1:
 
FADE IN
 
 
EXT. GARAGE - DAY
 
A row of green Garages are tucked away beside a block of
flats.
 
Trees line the surroundings
 
A typical street off the side of a road
 
A girl named ALANAH, Early 20's dressed in standard modern
clothes is clearing out a garage for her Nan.
 
She finds some old photos amongst other items in the
garage.
 
Notices a blank DVD case, She opens to check if there is a
disk in there and puts it aside to watch later.
 
Some time passes, shown by the reduced amount of items in
the garage.
 
She proceeds to constantly look back at the DVD as if
something is pulling her to it.
 
An unforeseen force comes over her, grabs the DVD and
begins to run back towards the entrance to the block of
flats.
 
 
INT. FLAT STAIRCASE - DAY
 
ALANAH goes through the entrance and up the stairs to the
front door of the Flat.
 
 
INT. FLAT - DAY
 
She opens the door to the flat, it's homely with a kitchen
to the right and living room to the left.
 
And as it swings open...
 
ALANAH
(Excited then slightly
confused)
Nan?! Are you up here? I found
something in the Garage and
it's... uh...
 
No one replies
INT. FLAT BEDROOM - DAY
 
ALANAH walks over to the cabinet with the DVD in hand and
opens it to get to the DVD Player inside.
 
She puts the DVD into the Player and it suddenly plays,
there’s no sound
 
EXT. WOODS - DUSK (DVD)
 
A female figure in a white dress walks slowly through the
woods as moonlight passes through the trees.
 
An old building is seen through the trees and a lone lamp
post near the entrance to the woods.
 
 
INT. FLAT LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
 
She comes back to reality, looks out the window and notices
she's been sat there for what feels like forever, she looks
down and sees some tally marks on her hand - she
investigates them for a second before seeing a marker on
the side. She closes her eyes as if blinking..
 
ACT 1 END
 
 
ACT 2
 
 
INT. OLD BUILDING - NIGHT
 
The room suddenly changes around her and she is in a
different, older location with what seems to be moonlight
coming through the windows.
 
(Confused, possibly
dreaming
ALANAH gets up and begins to look
around, trying the doors and
windows to no avail.
(Panicked)
 
She breaks out into a run, until she notices that she isn’t
getting anywhere, it’s as if she is trapped in an infinite
loop with no foreseeable way of escaping.
 
(Engulfed by the panic)
2.
She breaks down, slumps to the floor, screaming, crying and
punching the wall – she doesn’t know what is going and it
is starting to tear her apart.
 
ALANAH
(Within her head)
Maybe I'm just asleep? Maybe it's
only a nightmare? but it feels so
real...
 
She composes herself a little and notices something seen in
the DVD next to her
 
The clip of the thing from the DVD flashes into her mind as
she comes to the realisation that they are the same.
 
At this moment something starkly white appears in the room,
only seen in her provisional vision at first as she slowly
turns her head to look and takes a step back – the figure
is visible now, It’s the girl in the footage.
 
Panic and Fear engulf her again as the figure begins to
slowly move its arm up as if reaching for her, she takes
another step back, turns around towards the light with her
back to the figure and head in her hands
 
The room goes silent and everything appears to freeze. The
figure’s arm suspended in the air. All she can hear is her
own heartbeat.
 
The seconds feel like forever until the figures hand
suddenly moves into a disjointed position that resembles
clicking fingers.
 
In the silence the figure clicks her finger but the sound
is more like bones snapping, causing the location to change
again
 
ACT 2 END
 
 
ACT 3
 
 
EXT. WOODS - NIGHT
 
She slowly takes her hands away from her face to see that
she’s now in some sort of wood.
 
She looks around but can’t see anything, not even the
figure.
 
She breaks into a run, in a random direction, she realises
that it is better to do so than staying still.
3.
Progressing through the woods, after running for a little
while the ghostly figure walks out from behind a tree,
causing her to fall back onto the ground.
 
The figure slowly walks towards her as ALANAH backs away
into a tree.
 
She's frozen in place as the figure gets closer and closer
until it stops before kneeling down in front of her.
 
The ghostly figure just stays there, un-moving as her
heartbeat is all she can hear.
 
ALANAH notices something familiar about the figure as she
seems to have a number of tally marks on it's hand that are
almost identical to her's but two less
 
It raises its hand again...
 
EXT. GARAGE - DAY
 
There's nothing but the open garage and ambient sounds of
every day life.
 
 
EXT. WOODS -
 
No signs of ALANAH or the figure but there is a bloodied
arm protruding from behind a tree, the same one she backed
up against.
 
 
INT. FLAT LIVING ROOM - DAY
 
She comes back to reality and notices she's been sat there
for what feels like forever, she looks down and sees some
tally marks on her hand - she investigates them for a
second before seeing a marker on the side. She grabs it and
adds one more.
