Synopsis
Opening Scene;
The scene starts two sets of footprints walking through a forest in the snow. One is of a victim (Katie) the other of the killer. The killer continues to stalk Katie and hides in the bushes to avoid being seen and arosing suspicion. Whislt the killer is still lurking in the bushes another victim (Imogen) walks past. Imogen walks through the forest until she hears a branch snap behind her. She quickly turns around to see Katie. Both victims believe that they are meeting their mother, who sent them letters which they have with them. This is not the case. A creepy hand is lurking towards and a scream is heard. The killers identity is only partially seen. On a bed lies Eva, bottle on floor, obviously hung-over after drowning her misery with alcohol the night before. She finds a letter in her room that was not previously there and reads it. It says it was from her mother who she presumed had passed away; this makes her curious and leaves hastily for the destination given in the letter.
Beginning;
Eva goes straight to the location stated on the letter (the forest we saw katie and imogen in). Meanwhile, we are introduced to Detective Milton who is working overtime, as usual, when he receives a phone call where a woman screams and tells him to help her in the forest. Milton and Eva then meet in the forest and suspiciously ask questions about each other before seeing a dead body lay by a tree. There is a picture of Eva lying on the body. First, Milton will not listen to Eva's pleas about helping him solve the murder,but, after much persuasion and to the dismay of Milton he finally gives in and allows her to help. Together they research Eva's mother and find out about the victim in the woods all the time, bickering about their opposing views on the situation. Detective Milton makes it very clear that he despises Eva and thinks she is a disgrace and unnecessarily poking into the case. When researching Eva’s mother, the only information they can find is that she worked as a manager in a Photo-processing company and she had passed away in a road accident, as Eva already knew.
Middle;
During the film more deaths occur, all with a photograph of Eva on the dead body. After investigation, Milton finds out that all the victims were all old colleagues of Eva’s mother but Eva had no memory of knowing them so she researched the company with Milton. As they spent more time together, Milton and Eva begin to find a mutual respect for each other and show a sign of an unlikely friendship. Milton soon begins to feel sorry for eva and her partying antics as she tells him the story of her life from her perspective. However, at times, they still both argue and annoy each other creating an uneasy tension. Eva then when researching on her own one night when she finds information Milton had not showed her- her fathers record hat showed he was very abusive toward her mother and so she took Eva and ran away to protect her. Suddenly she thinks she knows who is after her. She believes that her mum did not die in the car crash but it was instead staged and whoever killed her mother has come back for her. Her father. Eva and Milton were not the only one researching her mother- he was too and had come across the same work recods and was killing anyone who knew her- her work colleagues.
Ending;
She checked her answering machine and found one from Milton informing her of the last alive colleague of her mother and her address. She quickly races against what the audience and her to believe is the time in which she has left to save the colleague and get away from her father. When she gets there she finds the women and quickly tells her of the danger and why she must run. Instead of being scared the woman laughs loudly and says 'ahh I was beginning to think Milton was never going to lead you here'. It is then she realizes that she has been tricked and that Milton was working with the killer, not with her. The killer then explains that she used to be very close friends with her mother and when she had died in the car crash so had her daughter who was sat next to Eva in the back of the car. Eva's mother had been on the phone whilst she crashed and so the killer believed it was Eva's mothers fault that her daughter had died. Ever since she has been waiting for the perfect moment to kill Eva- eye for an eye, daughter for a daughter. Just as Eva is about to be murdered, police suddenly burst in the door and arrest the Killer- Milton had rung the police last minute as he knew he could not live with the guilt after becoming friends with Eva. When Eva finally arrives home at her apartment she gets a panicked voicemail off Milton informing her that the Killer had got away from police. On the bed in front of Eva he suddenly spots a photograph of her, her mother, the killer and the killer's daughter. All but the killer have a cross through them. On the back of the photo it reads:
Smile, you have yet to be captured.
Other Details;
The actors in the film will be unknown to the audience making the characters more realistic and easier to relate too. In addition to this, the locations will be nondescript and ordinary-jut like anywhere once again making it seem more realistic to the audience.
