INTRODUCTION
A black screen is the only thing visible while a backing
track is playing, the scene then opens with the sound of a
bell ringing and we see Ringwood School while all the
students are leaving at the end of the school day. The
final establishing shot is still and we then see several
different legs.
SCENE 1: EXT - OUTSIDE SCHOOL - AFTERNOON
The film then changes so we can see our main group of
characters (CAMERON, DAVID, JAMES, JACK, JACOB) walking
away from the school all in a conversation.
JAMES
That was such a shit day
*GROUP LAUGHS*
CAMERON
What timeâs everyone out tonight then?
DAVID
Think we should meet at 8
JACK
Fine with me
JACOB
Yeah
CAMERON
Yeah. James?
JAMES looks up from his phone
JAMES
Yeah, should be ok I think
DAVID
Alright sick, Iâll go get drinks
3. 3
JACK
I canât wait to go out, Iâve needed it
CAMERON
Think we all do.
All characters continue walking down the street, we
then see the weird kid, WILL. The group notices him
in the distance and start making rude comments
towards him.
CAMERON
Look at him, what a twat
*Group laughs*
DAVID
Where are you going mate!?
JACK
Definitely off to see all his girls
JAMES
Look how he quick heâs walking, fuckinâ
racing off
CAMERON
Slow down a minute, we want to talk
JACOB
Look he has drinks sticking out his bag,
David I dare you to go and steal it.
DAVID
Alright, what for?
JACK
Nobodyâs going to give you any money
DAVID
Ok then, Iâll do it anyway. He wonât do
shit back to me
4. 4
The group agrees on this idea and begins to run towards
WILL, we see this from over his shoulder. The group run
towards WILL grabbing his bag and wrestling for the drink
sticking out of the bag.
WILL
Just leave me alone!
The group manages to take the bag away and push WILL to the
ground, they take the drink out and throw the bag to the
ground. The group runs off laughing.
CAMERON
Dickhead!
JAMES slows down and turns to WILL on the floor
JAMES
Sorry mate
He then joins the group running off into the distance, we
then see WILL sat on the floor next to his bag staring at
the group running away.
The shot cuts to black with the start of a musical score.
SCENE 2: EXT â PARK - NIGHT
The scene starts with the same upbeat backing track playing
with the text: 8pm Poulner
CAMERON and DAVID arrive the latest and are speaking about
stealing the drinks off WILL
CAMERON
I feel bad for him now
DAVID
Who gives a shit, it was so funny. Did you
see his face?
They both start laughing and joking about the situation as
the shot moves to an establishing shot of the new location
where the other 3 friends are already sat at the bench
drinking, there is then a few shots of DAVID and CAMERON
jumping over the fence to get the rest of the group. The
5. 5
backing track turns diegetic as the group are playing the
song.
DAVID
Alright boys?
The group all get up and greet each other, and then all sit
back on the bench and start drinking.
CAMERON
When did you all get here?
JACK
Like 10 minutes ago, but I think Jacobâs
already drunk
JACOB
No! Iâm completely fine *he slurs his
words*
JAMES
Howâve you managed that?
JACOB
I said Iâm not drunk! Iâm fine
DAVID
Anyway, I brought the drink, who wantâs
some?
The group then passes round the large bottle containing the
blue liquid all taking big sips, Jacob drinks the largest
amount and Cameron only tries a small amount.
JACK
That was disgusting, who would buy that?
CAMERON
I didnât even have that much because it
smelt awful.
JACOB
It was fine, stop moaning
6. 6
The group laughs at Jacob
JACOB
I need a piss, someone come with me
DAVID
Need someone to hold your hand?
JAMES
No, not his hand
Groups start laughing at him so JACOB stumbles away from
the group towards some trees.
JACOB
Fine, donât worry then!
JACK
David would, but itâs too dark for him
DAVID
Shut the fuck up
The group laughs and goes back to drinking and turns away
from JACOB.
SCENE 3: EXT â TREES TO THE EDGE OF THE PARK - NIGHT
He then stumbles away on his own away from the group, once
he reaches the trees we see the friends behind him, we then
see there is then an open area on his other side, we then
see the original shoulder and we see the bench and all the
group have gone, again, we switched shoulder and we see a
dark figure wearing a dark robe, a half balaclava and
gloves. The figure is holding an axe dragging it along the
floor as he walks towards JACOB.
We then see JACOB from behind where he is urinating, and we
see a shot of his face looking relieved.
SCENE 4: EXT - DARK FOREST - NIGHT
We then follow JACOBâs head as he turns around to notice he
is alone in a dark forest. As a tense backing track starts
to play.
7. 7
JACOB
Cameron? Jack? James!?
After he realises he is not with his friends and completely
alone, lost, he enters a panic and turns his flashlight on
from his phone. There is a few shots of him walking through
the forest. He then decides to sit down because he is
breathing too quick and needs to stop evaluate whatâs
happening. As the tense backing track fades out.
JACOB
*exhales* Calm down, just need to find the
way out
In the distance JACOB can just about make out a dark
silhouette of a person.
JACOB
Thank fuck for that. I didnât mean to walk
this far!
The figure continues to walk towards him, he tense backing
track continues from where it faded.
JACOB (DISTRESSED)
Hello!?
The figure then continues to walk towards him increasing in
pace. JACOB then realises that this isnât one of his
friends, gets up as quick as possible and begins to run
away. As he turns away to run quicker, he bumps into the
tall dark figure getting knocked to the ground. He then
crawls backwards and struggles on the ground. The dark
figure then pulls back his arms holding an axe, JACOB lets
out a scream as we see the axe slash across the screen.
SCENE 5: EXT â PARK - POULNER
We then see the group hearing the same scream.
CAMERON
What the fuck?
DAVID
Was that Jacob?
8. 8
JAMES
Sounded like him, he never came back
JACK
Probably just lost *laughs*
DAVID
Jack this could be serious, just shut the
fuck up a minute.
CAMERON
Donât argue about it letâs just go and see
if heâs ok.
JAMES
Iâll wait here
DAVID
What so you can just sit on your phone?
JAMES stares at him and then turns away and pulls out his
phone, DAVID sighs and the group starts to walk towards the
scream.
DAVID
What a dickhead.
We see the group in the distance as James is sat on the
bench on his phone, he then gets a call from DAVID and so
picks up. He believes that they have pocket dialed him and
are taking about him behind his back.
DAVID
*mumbling* Heâs just such a prick
sometimes, I donât like him.
JACK
*mumbling* Yeah, I donât mind him but heâs
a bit strange
DAVID
*mumbling* Yeah, I just donât like him
9. 9
JAMES ends the call, and puts his head in his hands crying,
he then gets up and walks away, checking behind him and
checking his phone.
SCENE 6: EXT â STREET - NIGHT
JAMES reaches the street and begins to walk home, he checks
his phone and sees that his lock screen is now his friend
JACOBâs lifeless body, he looks up and notices a dark
figure stood in the distance.
JAMES
Hello!?
After getting no reply, JAMES looks around checking if
anyone else can see this figure. After turning around the
figure is no longer in front of him. JAMES enters a panic
and starts calling DAVID, while he is stood waiting for him
to pick up, we see a shot of JAMES and then two arms wrap
around and begin to choke him.
SCENE 7: EXT â TREES TO THE EDGE OF THE PARK - NIGHT
We then see the group investigating, and DAVID picks up his
phone.
DAVID
Hello? What do you want? Hello?
We see a cracked phone with DAVID talking next to JAMESâ
body, we then cut back to the group.
DAVID (TO THE OTHERS)
He didnât say anything
CAMERON
Might have been an accident
JACK
*pointing* is that Jacob on the floor
there?
We see JACOB dead on the floor with a gash in his chest the
friends gather round him. All characters enter a panic.
10. 10
CAMERON
Oh god, I wish someone went with him.
DAVID
Who wouldâve done it though?
JACK
Right now, it doesnât matter letâs leave
before anyone else gets hurt.
The group then begins to walk away at a fast pace.
CAMERON
We need to stick together
JACK
No, I need to go home.
DAVID
What do you mean? Your friend has just
been killed?
JACK
Exactly, I just want to get home, Iâll see
you tomorrow
CAMERON
Really Jack?
JACK
Yes, I donât want to be here, Iâll see you
in a bit.
Jack then walks off on his own and we see him jump the
fence and walk down the street. We then see CAMERON and
DAVID sat on the bench.
DAVID
Letâs just wait here and figure out what
weâre doing.
11. 11
CAMERON
Yeah, I hope Jack will be alright
DAVID
He wanted to walk off.
SCENE 7: EXT â STREET - NIGHT
We then see JACK walking down the street and he hears a
laugh from a dark playground and can just about make out
two figures sat on the bench.
JACK
What are you laughing at?
VOICE 1
You look like such a twat *laughs*
JACK
Who do you think you are?
VOICE 2
Youâre such a dickhead to your friends
Jack then starts moving towards them.
JACK
Whatâs your problem?
SCENE 8: EXT â PLAYGROUND - NIGHT
The two voices then continue laughing, so JACK walks into
the dark corner. All noise then stops as he starts walking
towards them.
JACK
Yeah, youâre not fucking laughing, are
you?
The two figures on the bench look slumped against each
other. JACK then slowly approaches the bench and realises
the two figures are the two dead friends. Jack in shock
starts looking around in a panic. We then see the dark
figure swings his axe twice and JACK hits the floor.
12. 12
SCENE 9: EXT â PARK - NIGHT
We then cut back to DAVID and CAMERON, they are discussing
what they should do.
CAMERON
Do you think we should get back in a
minute?
DAVID
Yeah, I donât feel great. I just canât
believe whatâs happened tonight, it
doesnât feel real.
CAMERON
I know Iâm worried about Jack and James;
we havenât heard from them.
DAVID
Yeah can you walk back to mine with me?
SCENE 10: EXT â SREET - NIGHT
The two remaining characters then get up and walk off, we
see a montage of shots of them walking home and there is a
very dark mood with low lighting.
SCENE 11: EXT â OUTSIDE HOUSE â NIGHT
They then reach the house and DAVID enters, he then stands
in the doorway and speaks to CAMERON.
DAVID
Thanks, Iâm just so worried, it just
hasnât really set in yet.
CAMERON
Yeah, letâs just talk about it tomorrow I
just need to process whatâs happened.
The two then hug.
DAVID
Iâll see you tomorrow, say when you get
back in.
13. 13
CAMERON
Yeah, I will, see you tomorrow.
SCENE 12: INT â HOUSE - NIGHT
DAVID then shuts the door and sits down on the sofa and
puts his head in his hands.
DAVID
Ah fuck, what now?
He then gets up and goes to the bathroom to wash his face.
He stares in the mirror for a minute. Then opens the door
and notices all the lights are off.
DAVID
Oh no, no, no.
He turns his phone flashlight on and walks towards turning
the lights on, he turns them back on and walks away to go
upstairs. The lights then turn off again, so DAVID goes to
turn them back on and as he does the hand of the dark
figure grabs his wrist and then hits him over the head with
a bottle. We then see the figure drag his unconscious body
into the bathroom, the figure then gets a knife from the
kitchen and cuts DAVIDâs wrists and leaves him to bleed.
SCENE 13: EXT â STREET â NIGHT
CAMERON is now alone walking down the street in Poulner, it
is very late, so it is quiet and there is nobody around. We
see a few s of CAMERON walking and then we see a shot of
CAMERON from the front and we see a car emerge from the end
of the road, it follows CAMERON along the road and around a
corner. CAMERON notices that the car will not leave him,
CAMERON then starts to increase his pace and the car
matches it, they do this until CAMERON is sprinting. He
keeps turning to look at the car and running down the road.
The car then catches up and gets very close to the camera.
The car lights get too close and blind the screen.
SCENE 14: INT â GARAGE - NIGHT
It transitions to a light in the garage where CAMERON is
looking up at the light, disorientated, he notices he is
strapped to a chair, along with all his friends who are all
dead apart from DAVID who is still shaking and quivering.
CAMERON begins to loosen the rope.
14. 14
CAMERON
Fucking hell *groans*, whatâs happening?
David? DAVID!?
There is then footsteps and the garage door opens and the
dark figure is in shock that CMAERON is awake.
CAMERON
Who are you?
WILL
How are you awake?
CAMERON
Itâs you, why did you do this?
WILL
Because Iâm in power now! None of you
could do anything.
CAMERON
You know these people have families
wondering where they are.
WILL
I couldnât give less of a shit about any
of them. *bangs the garage door* they
never cared about me!
We see the neighbour come to the window with a phone and we
hear an emergency services call.
CAMERON
I donât understand how you knew about my
car crash
WILL
Oh, I didnât, all of you always push me
about and take things, I knew youâd take
the drink.
CAMERON
Whatâs that got to do with it?
15. 15
WILL
Itâs a hallucinogenic drug, it went into
the back of all your minds, and I got to
watch all of it.
He takes his mask off and takes his hood down. He then
starts cleaning the blood of the kitchen knife. CAMERON
notices a wrench on the floor and begins to loosen the
rope.
WILL
Itâs pointless. You have nothing left, and
your friend is about to go too.
The two stay silent as DAVID stops shaking and slumps in
his chair. WILL laughs.
CAMERON
Youâre a fucking monster
WILL turns around again and begins to struggle until the
rope falls to the floor, and CAMERON runs and pushes WILL
to the floor, he grabs the wrench and hits will on the
head. WILL falls to the floor and CAMERON looks around at
his dead friends and finds all the tools used to torture
his friends.
CAMERON
You useless
He hits WILL with the wrench.
CAMERON
Worthless
He hits him again twice.
CAMERON
Piece of shit!
All sound in the scene then cuts, and a backing track plays
while CAMERON beats WILLâs body with the wrench, filled
with emotion CAMERON continues after WILL is no longer
moving. We then see car lights shine over the garage with
16. 16
blue strobe lights and we faintly hear sirens, CAMERON
stops and stands up, in shock, realises what heâs done.
There is then faint shouting over the backing track of the
police.
POLICE OFFICER
Stop! Put the weapon down!
CAMERON stands up with the wrench in his hand staring at
the police officers. They point the guns at him and
continue shouting.
POLICE OFFICER
Put it down!
We then hear a gunshot as all sound stops and the shot cuts
to black. There is silence for 3 seconds and the credits
then roll followed by a musical score.
