Nightmares : a short horror film

Abstract

Horror films are often recognized as the easiest way to break into the film industry, as they are relatively cheap to make, however, creating a horror movie with a well thought out and thought provoking story line is difficult. I have always been a fan of the horror movies that make me think, that reflect ideas that are truly terrifying: isolation, loneliness, guilt, madness. In this script I explore the aftermath of losing someone to suicide, the complications of mental illness, and the emotions that pass through someone who doesn't quite know how to mourn. I also created a prototype movie poster, concept art, and other preproduction documents could be utilized if this film were to be produced in the future.
