Horror Film Proposal

Type: Short film

Genre: Horror, Thriller

The opens to a shot of a secluded wood cabin in the middle of a blizzard, the next shot is that of a young woman between the ages of 15-17 taking some food out of the oven. It seems like a traditional 1950s setting of a housewife though she seems rather young. There is the sound of a door opening and the howling of a blizzard before an older looking man walks in, he greets the girl in the manner a husband would a wife. Despite the fact he is many years older than her, there dwelling is fairly primitive it is clear they’re quite isolated.

One day after some time as the older man is out there would be a knock on the door and the girl would open it to find a cold and ill looking man, perhaps lost. He seems relieved to see the girl as she welcomes him inside. He would stay a couple of days until he recuperates. During this time the older man isn’t home as the local town where he fetches supplies is some days away and the trip is a long one. Eventually the man would leave as he heads back to the town. The older man would return with the supplies and gradually come to realize that someone was there in his absence, he seems concerned and shouts at the girl that she is no allowed visitors. As the man returns to town it is made clear that the anniversary of a famous kidnapping some 10-13 years is this week. With all the pictures he begins to notice a striking similarity between the girl he met and this kidnapped girl, they show a picture of what she may look like today and it is similar.

From there the film would be about the man going back to the house and trying to rescue the girl who is unaware about the fact she is a kidnapping victim and doesn’t want to leave the house as she is not allowed. Finally the film would climax with a chase back to the town the “Husband” Of the girl in hot pursuit as he tries to get back his wife.
