Horror Treatment
The protagonists are twins, a typically popular girl Hannah and her sister, Eleanor who is always alone and quiet.
21st May 1999. Eleanor and Hannah's birthday party. Hannah is having fun with all her friends while Eleanor sits in the corner alone. A flash forward takes us to the 14th May 2000, which is represented by turning a calender, seven days until Hannah and Eleanors18th birthday. We next see Hannah and Eleanor in their school environment. Hannah is with all her friends, laughing and having a good time while Eleanor remains standing alone and we begin to see the resentment for Hannah. The mass space of the school environment emphasizes how lonely she is.
That day, at lunch time, one of the popular girls is giving out her birthday invitations. It becomes obvious that she is inviting the whole year group. This is made clear through a shot of her looking Eleanor in the eye and then walking on without hesitating to give Eleanor an invitation. This begins to make Eleanor angry and upset. Later in the week, as a practical joke, the considered "popular" girls lock Eleanor in the school changing rooms after a p.e. lesson. This truly hurts Eleanor and she decides to take the ultimate revenge on not only her sister, but also her friends.
Whilst plotting her revenge, we see her bedroom. The walls are covered in photos of her "prey". Eleanor often burns photos of younger days of her and her sister and we see her cross off days on her calender until their birthday "The Date" which is the day she plans to take revenge.
The next night, Eleanor creeps into her sisters bedroom while she is asleep and paints on the wall a number 5. This number is representative of the number of days until Eleanor's revenge will be complete; which also happens to be their birthday.
The next morning the family discover the red paint and during a family dinner, the twins have a huge fight. While Eleanor leaps over the table to try and strangle Hannah, her mum decides she must go to a local mental institution.
After three days, Eleanor manages to escape in time for her sister’s birthday party. The party is masked in which everyone is invited except Eleanor. The family are unaware of her escape and she gate crashes the party. She kills her sister and two other witnesses. All the other guests are unaware of the murders and continue to have a good time until the lights go out and Eleanor goes crazy. As she goes crazy and starts screaming and threatening all the guests, her mum happens to walk in on the party. she sends all the guests home but is still to discover Hannah's body. As she discovers the body and Eleanor is already locked in her room. Their mother has no idea what to do so send her back to the mental institution.
We see Eleanor lying on the floor in her cell; the walls are empty and the surrounding area is silent. As we look at Eleanor lying still, we see her eyes close and watch the flashbacks of happy times with her sister, after the flashbacks bring her to the current time, we see her eyes open and the film ends. We are left not knowing what her next course of action will be.
Script
Dinner scene.
Late evening
Broken Family
Homemade meal
Dim lighting
Tense atmosphere
silence
Hannah, Eleanor and their mother(Miranda) sit around a long rectangle table. Hannah sits opposite to Eleanor whilst their mum sit at the head of the table, imbetween the twins.
Miranda is trying to break the silence by making conversation.
Miranda: How was your day Eleanor? looking hopeful for some sort of topic starter
Eleanor: while continuing to look at her food, she says unwillingly, Fine.
Miranda: Is this what it has come down to, silence at the only time we're together in the day?!
Hannah: with a smirk on her face, She never speaks, she's a mute
Miranda: don't say that Hannah! looks disappointed, let Eleanor have her voice.
Hannah, No one wants to hear what she's got to say anyways laughing
Miranda: Hannah! that's enough, just let your sister be
Hannah: Come on then! speak! looking interrogating at Eleanore
Eleanor looks up briefly at her sister before making no emotion and looking back at her food.
It's quite funny to think that for half the day you were locked in the changing roms! I guess I'm not the only one to think your abnormal.
Miranda: looking shocked and raising her voice, Hannah whats come over you!
Hannah picks up some peas from her plates and slowly starts throwing them at Eleanor waiting for any type of response e
Under the table, Eleanor is tensing her hands and crunching her fingers in her palms.
Miranda: Hannah, that's it! go to your room pointing upstairs
As Hannah stands up and slowly walks pout of the room, Hannah leaps up and tries to get her hands around Hannah's neck, as she pushes her yup against the kitchen wall,Hannah begins to struggle and starts screaming before Miranda has a chance to intervene.
