PITCH 2

WORKING TITLE
'Stiletto'

SYNOPSIS
A female kills boys who treat women/girls badly and also the girls who let boys treat them badly. The female killer hates how some women represent themselves as dumb and slutty on purpose.

FILM INFLUENCES
Jennifer's Body:
There is a female killer who kills boys because she was possessed by a demon. She lures them in with her flirty, sexy way of being and her looks, then she kills them alone somewhere. The idea of the victims being males is where I got some inspiration from.

Friday the 13th Remake:
The entire film opening of this is very similar to what I want to put in my film opening. The idea of cross cutting between shots of the lair scene and the scene in the forest of Alex (Scream King), Aubrey (Scream Queen) and Richard (Final Boy) walking to into the forest going to go camping is what I want to incorporate in my film opening at the very start.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo:
I got the idea of a girl getting revenge on men who treat women badly from this film. Lisabeth Salander (the main protagonist) works with a male journalist to solve the many murders of some women who were also raped by their killer. I mainly took the idea of a woman having revenge on men for treating women the way they do (as lesser, as below them). I wanted that to be the main message of my film opening, that women aren't lesser than men, but that they can also be killers and overpower/dominate men the way men do to women; I wanted to go against the norms of the slasher genre where the killer is always a man and the victims are always busty, topless, sexually active women. I also decided to change the final girl into a final boy.

WITHIN THE ALLOWED 2 MINUTES - THE DETAILS
Lair scene:
There will be tools, blood, knives, meat, worktops, clinical tiled floor, dirt and plastic sheeting in this setting (the lair). In this scene the female killer will come walking down the stairs, with the sound of high heels coming down the stairs and you will see over the shoulder shots of the wall in the lair that is covered with photographs of victims the killer has killed and wants to kill. The audience will also see shots of the killer hooded, with black leather gloves on, slicing some meat harshly. With every slice/hit of the meat there will be a thud sound that is scary and loud. The audience will see an over the shoulder shot of the female killer marking a large cross on one of the photographs on the wall then she picks down another photograph on the wall and just holds it in her hands looking at it then there is a cross fade to a shot of this person in the photograph in real life.
