[Two teenagers stand in front of a dilapidated-looking house with a ‘Keep Out’ sign taped haphazardly to it. One teenager is holding a video camera and the other has a turned-off torch]
Poppy: (Raises camera) Let’s go.
Callum: (Nods)
[Cut to inside of house; A decrepit-looking basement room. The two teenagers slowly move down the stairs and to the centre of the room]
Poppy: (Turns on camera and begins filming self) Hello, this is Poppy May and Callum Hurley (camera pans to Callum who nods in acknowledgement). We’re here at the abandoned house at the edge of town investigating the disappearance of ten teenagers over the past month and a half. The police have no leads so far, but there’s a rumour that there’s some sort of creature that takes them, a creature which has come to be known only as…The Entity. Does this creature exist? We plan on finding out.
[Cuts to various short shots of Poppy and Callum filming the area, then to a shot from Poppy’s POV walking over to Callum]
Poppy: Hey Callum, can I borrow the torch? I’m gonna check out that shadowy area over there.
Callum: Yeah, be careful.
[Poppy turns on the torch and walks into the shadowy area, revealing that it is, in fact, a dead end]
Poppy: (Sighs). Callum, it’s a no-go. It leads straight to a dead-(POV camera pans around to reveal The Entity behind Poppy; Poppy screams)
[Callum runs in to show Poppy alone in the dark area with nothing else, looking visibly shaken]
Callum: What? What is it?!
Poppy: (Indistinct) We’ve gotta-it’s here-help-out of here (runs towards the stairs hysterically)
Callum: (Following) Poppy? Poppy! There’s nothing there, what happened? Poppy!
Poppy: (Hands Callum the camera and torch) I saw it, it was-(banging on door, trying to open) It’s stuck help! Help!
[The door opens and Poppy rushes out, slamming the door behind her and leaving Callum trapped]
Callum: Poppy?!
[Cuts to Poppy running through the woods screaming hysterically, trying to get away, then back to Callum]
Callum: Poppy come on! This isn’t funny open the door! Poppy! (A noise from downstairs makes him jump)
Callum: (Turning towards the noise) W-who’s there? Poppy I swear to god if this is a joke-(screams)
[Callum, holding the handheld camera, captures footage of The Entity crawling disjointedly up the stairs and towards him, until all that is in shot is the face of it. The camera cuts out]
