Synopsis


The teenage girl is seen saying goodbye to her family in their house, they’re going away for a few days while she stays at home. The house that they’re staying in belonged to a relative that has recently passed away, and as they live the closest they’ve been given the task of clearing it out. The little boy clearly doesn’t want to go and wants to stay at home, but is pressured into leaving. The scene changes to night time, the girl is seen going up the stairs to her bedroom. In her bedroom, we see a lot of pictures covering her walls of her family and in photo frames. It is clear that her family mean a lot to her. Cuts to the sound of a doorbell, she goes downstairs to answer it but when she opens the door there is nobody there. 

When she looks down at the floor, she sees a lot of photographs on the ground that are cut up. Scared, she tears up the stairs to her bedroom and sees that all the photos from her bedroom are missing so somebody has been in her house whilst she was alone and sleeping. This makes her angry because she thinks somebody is playing a sick joke on her. She rings her parents who don’t answer the phone and she begins to panic thinking that maybe the cut up photos mean that her family are in danger. The police refuse to help her as she has no proof that anything is wrong other than a bad feeling, so she decides to get in her car and try to find her family. 

It’s raining heavily and as she’s driving down a long stretch of road she has to slam on her brakes because she sees her little brother standing in the middle of the road, however when she gets out of her car she can’t see anything around. She arrives at the house and sees that the front door is wide open. There’s a lot of flashing light effects and pounding music as she makes her way up the stairs with a baseball bat that she’s grabbed. She gets attacked by bats as she reaches the top of the stairs which compromises her vision and when she looks down, she sees her little brother lying on the wooden floorboards, dead. She shouts for the rest of her family and starts to run down the stairs when she hears a creak coming from downstairs. She hears screams coming from a basement and is crying now as she sees a dark lone figure standing at the open front door. The door slams and the camera goes black as you hear her scream.
