Basic Synopsis: - Twisted story about the sadistic games of three teenage boys. The extract starts with Ben walking home. It is dark and atmospheric outside. He seems like nothing out of the ordinary. He gets home to a house which should look like student accommodation. Inside, he talks with his two room mates Will and Chris, about "girl troubles". They then go upstairs to see "the girls" and the audience discovers the boys aren't as normal as they appear, and are keeping two females hostages in they're attic, Lola and Kate. They torment the girls and film them with a hand held camera. The girls look weak and tormented. A range of close ups shows bruising on each of the girls. Ben removes Lola's gag and when we begs to "let me go", he unties her and allows her to try and crawl away then picks her up from the floor and takes her away for some "disciplining", leaving Chris and Will to try and calm the ever more distressed Kate who is struggling in her seat.
Suggested Elements: Shot within a claustrophobic/confined area, twisted plot line, disturbing props, interesting light features, pulling focus shots.
