What has already happened: A young teenage girl had gone missing a few months ago at an old theatre studios where they used to have drama lessons, herself and friends had gone to investigate the location due to it looking mysterious. That was the last time the girls was seen. She was taken during the time the girls where walking up the staircase to look on the second floor, she was walking at the back when the three of them heard footsteps getting closer to them. With a blink of an eye she was taken, her two friends Charlotte and Laura where frantically shouting her name when they noticed one of the back rooms was open, there she was tied to a chair making no noise. The girls attempting to set her free when the killer jumps in front of them, they run back into the corner with their holding each others hands, shouting Kirsty's name.

Resume: The beginning of the film starts when Laura and Charlotte go back to the old studios due to realising a few months later that they have lost Laura's brothers jacket and he has told Laura that she must pay for it if it isn't returned. They enter the studios, it is gloomy and dark, nobody has revisited it since the last night they were in there. They are alert at all times, flashback keep coming to them of the previous event of when Kirsty was taken from them. Everywhere they look they think they have seen her. They hear foot steps comimg towards them, they turn round and to make themselves aware and killer is standing in front of them, staring at the both of them and breathing heavily. They turn and run to back of the studios and hide in the curtains as they wait for him to go past, their hearts racing. As they make themselves aware of where about they are in the theatre they look above and notice Laura's brothers jacket hanging from above. A frequent tapping comes from the side wall, they beginning to shout for Kirsty, she reply's with a scream. They hear the elephant footsteps again, they don't move from the curtain's. Kirsty is still screaming dramatically from the back room, Charlotte and Laura run across the stage to go the long way around the back, they do this so that they do not bump into the killer on their travels. On their journey round Charlotte is taken from the back, the killer was hiding at the back of studios awaiting for them. Laura screams and cries out, her head in her hands and carries on shouting their names. She runs into the distances so she is staring at the front of the theatre. The killer watches her every move from the distance, Laura is unaware of this. Laura gives one last look into the distance and races back into the studios. She creeps around, trying to make very little noise, she carries on looking over her shoulder to make sure that he isn't behind her. She finds Kirsty and Charlotte stood in the middle of the room in a some form of trance. She frantically shouts their names but gets no reply. Laura cries aloud, walks over to them to try and make them realise what is happening. They do not make any emotion and stare into the distance of the room, not blinking, just making small steps around in a circle. The killer enters the room, Laura runs back into the corner so he can not make out she is there. He walks over to the both of them and strokes their hair, has one last glance over his shoulder and leaves the room. Laura into the centre of the room, she understands that she cannot do anything alone so therefore she has to get out of there. Laura quietly makes her way to the fire exist, sharply looking around in the darkness to make sure the killer is no where is site. She makes it to the doors, opens them without a sound, she beginnings to panic as she runs away her heart racing through her rib cage. Within a spilt second she was grabbed and taken away, none of the girls had been seen for over 6 months. A police investigator had been sent with a team to have a look around due to the location looking mysterious. All three of the girls were found hanging from the stage, later test were done on the three of them to find out why they were killed. It was found out that they were sexually assulted before their death, the killer was never found. After a few months the old theatre was turned into blocks of flats, it was always said that there was a stranger sense in the air from the people who lived there. The villages thought it might be from the girls which had unfinished business with the killer.

Suggested Elements: a) Flashback filmed from the T.V to show Kirsty before she was snatched. Similar to a scene in Saw, explains how she was taken.

b) Reminiscences - the ground floor in the snooker is a considerable seen to have a store room where the killer keeps his victims.

c) Film illustration - clips of the killer walking round investigating the area, these will be included in the title sequence.

e) Possible re- enactment - of Kirsty being locked in the seller and the girls finding her there with the killer stood behind her. Establishes the setting and atmosphere for the audience.
