Script

Through the hand held camera the screen starts off black as Joely is trying to get the camera to work.
Screen remains black

Joely: oh c’mon work, please work! (Crying)

She continues to hit the camera with her hand until the screen goes fuzzy and it turns on. Camera is facing up towards her face and it’s shaking because she is scared, we see that she is distressed and confused.

Joely: Thank God (whispers) Bruce! (Whispers three times)

Camera pans down to see the glove on the floor

Joely: Bruce! (Shouting)

There is a rustling noise and she begins to run, camera still in her hands.
The camera switches when she hears the rustling noise, this shows Joely from another perspective. The camera then switches back to handy cam when she first starts to run.

… After running for a while she trips over a branch on the floor, cuts her leg and the camera falls to the woodland floor.
Once the camera has dropped the handy cam switches to the main camera.

Joely: Shit (annoyed)

She picks the camera back up, camera change to handy cam. She hits the camera to try to get it to work, it turns on and she uses the light to try to see the wound on her leg in the dark.

Joely: (in pain) ooow! Crap! (noises under her breath)

Camera pans up towards her face.

Joely: (terrified in a state of hysterics, crying) …if anyone finds this…get out while you can…it’s not safe (trembling) If you’ve seen the lights already…it’s too late.

Her face turns to the side and a faint light shines on the side of her face, she then turns back to the camera, her face in panic… scared to say anything…she then continues to run again.

The camera is shallow focus, on a close up of a tree branch, we hear a sound getting louder then we briefly see Joely run past really fast which disrupts the branch leave and the camera stays focused on the branch until it settles again.

She suddenly drops the camera and it falls to the floor sideways, we see her legs getting dragged away.
Joely: (screaming in terror) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Screen fades fuzzy, we hear the fuzzy noise from the camera

Whilst the opening credits come up we hear the radio over.

Radio presenter:  There have been sighted reports of strange lights in the sky, officials have warned to stay inside at night time while they continue to investigate the cause.

Fades black.

Final Synopsis

After reports of alien sightings and strange lights in the sky, a group of teenagers become intrigued and are thrust into a struggle for survival as an unbelievable event becomes a terrifying reality. It is not known how many have fallen before, but an abandoned camera left in the woods gives an insight into the dreadful events that took place that evening.


A teenage girl is attempting to restart a camera, the immediate area is pitch black and strange noises can be heard from the undergrowth. She is extremely distressed and confused as she tries to escape from unknown creatures who silently stalk her through the woods.
In her attempt to escape she falls over a fallen branch and injures her knee; looking down she can see wound she hears a unusual noise so she begins to run again.

She points the camera at herself attempting to explain the events of that night however she is disrupted by a creature who drags her away screaming into the depths of the forest.

Reports on the radio warn people in the town of the strange lights and to stay inside at night while investigations take place into the disappearance of a group of teenage friends. A few days pass and a group of six teenagers decide to venture into the secluded woods of Saint Reathams by breaking and entering. Not knowing about the reported sightings of strange lights in the area; they decide to go deeper into the woods with their crate of beer and camping equipment.

As it turns into night, the group of teenagers begin to realize that all is not quite right because of the strange lights and noises in the woods that appear to be stalking them.
After they find the camera in a remote area of the forest floor they observe the footage of the camera and see a group of teenagers before them, having fun upon entering the woods and assume they must have forgotten their camera. They decide to copy them and film on their camera, however when night falls they run out of memory and look back to delete the previous footage. They then see the terrible events that occured to the group before them; they attempt to leave the woods at once but find they are lost which leads to an argument making them separate.

One by one they are picked off by the strange beings lurking in the woods behind them looking for something to eat. Eventually their are only two friends left who get cornered by one of the aliens, in an attempt to defend themselves one of the last girls sprays her pepper spray in a last attempt to save herself which melts the alien. They both realize that alone they cannot kill them one by one so they sacrifice themselves in order to be taken to the leader alien. Once there, the leader decides they are no use to them so instantly plans to kill them but the boy causes a diversion in order to give the girl a chance to save herself however he is killed. Because of this diversion, the girl has a chance to kill the leader alien so she sprays her pepper spray and melts the leader alien which scares the rest of the aliens. They decide to teleport back into their spaceship and leave earth leaving the girl alone in the woods with her friend's body lying lifeless in her arms.
