Tagline: "They may be gone but do they ever truly leave?.."
Format: DVD Cover and Movie Poster
Genre&Audience:
The genre of my thriller film will be a crime-supernatural thriller, aimed towards a teen audience. I have chosen to do a crime-supernatural thriller because I know the conventions of these films well. For example, there will often be a murder of someone in the past who is now haunting someone or someone has gone missing mysteriously and the protagonist will often try to find them and/or will be threatened. This genre is also often popular amongst teens.

Plot:
The plot of my thriller film will be about a man, who will be the protagonist of the film. He is a former detective but since his last investigation at an old, abandoned home in the woods, people whom are close to him have been "going missing' however, he cannot explain why this could be happening. Being a former detective, he uses his skills to try and find the source of the problem. He finds links between his last case and the events happening to him now, he visits the home once again, trying to find anything useful but however is haunted by the "things" in the woods, which happen to be the souls of the missing people, being controlled by the one main evil spirit, the spirit of the woman who died from his last case of a terrible death, who's soul has yet to rest. Something seems to draw the detective back to the house over and over again and the spirits begin to drive him insane and the local people of his suburb and the police being to blame him for the deaths of the missing people, as he is the only possible link. The evil spirit is doing this to him because in his last case, he didn't find the cause of her death and therefore no justice was served and she cannot lay to rest and she feels it is her fault so haunts him as revenge.

Emotional Effect:
The emotional effect I want my thriller film to have on the audience is suspense, fear, tension and excitement. I also want them to be part of the mind games happening in the film, they will be in the same position as the protagonist and learn whats happening at the same time as him.
