It's 2015. A teenage girl, aged 16, has been kidnapped. The character INDIA has been taken and held within the basement of a very old and remote house. The kidnapper, JACK, is a 25 year old male who lives in a secluded remote area of rural Britain. The house is situated in the centre of a woodland area away from amenities to demonstrate the way this male is set apart from society. India is an ordinary every day teenager who does not come from a particularly wealthy background. The kidnapper has taken India because he is mentally ill and has become obsessed with her. The kidnapper is a killer with previous victims all of a similar age to India. He lives in a house without a partner away from civilisation and he wishes to have company. India is tied in the basement however she is fed and given water; she is looked after and is wanted alive.
India awakes and experiences a flashback where she remembers being kidnapped whilst outside a fitness centre/gym. Jack comes into the basement and also experiences a flashback where upon he smashes a mirror. He cuts India with a shard of glass from the mirror and he leaves. India uses this to cut the rope restricting her hands. She is seen creeping through the hallway whilst the kidnapper is out of earshot. She grabs a phone left on a table and then sprints out the front door promptly leaving it open behind her. The kidnapper appears and so the audience can see that a chase is about to begin. India escapes on 10th day of being held by this man.
India is seen running through woodland and she appears to have been able to out run the kidnapper. Whilst running through the forrest the audience can see fastbacks showing how India was held in the basement. She calls 999 and the voice of an operator is heard. India hears a noise and the audience can see a hand with a gun after India turns around. The main title of the film appears whilst a beeping sound from the phone is heard. The operator tries to talk to India; the phone has disconnected and the operators reaction is shown.
You and your group have worked out a most interesting and exciting plot. In class you all developed the 'backstory' a little further after initial feedback. This involved developing the character of the kidnapper by delving into what made him the kind of man he is, by giving him a bullying mother who belittles and bosses him.
