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.
