A group of four friends, between the ages of 17-20 decide to
go on a camping trip to celebrate the end of summer, before they all go their
separate ways to college. They all decided that they would meet up at the
Fermwood campgrounds at 5pm on Saturday; Tom chose these specific grounds as
they hold a curse of a little 8 year old girl with Schizophrenia who lived
nearby, but ran away to the woods after brutally killing her brother, there
were rumours that she got trapped and drowned in the lake eight years ago,
although her body was never recovered. This led to the tales that she supposedly
she still haunts those woods, her dark side still hunting for new victims. Tom
believed that this would be a good joke to scare the girls.
Just as Jack is about to leave his house, his parents
explain that they have been invited out therefore Jack has to stay in and look
after his 14 year old sister, Emily. Annoyed with the fact that they’ve ruined
his plans he decides to go out to spite his parents, he waits for Emily to go
to her room before sneaking out to his car; he then remembered that he left his
torch behind, when running back into the house, it gave Emily a perfect
opportunity to sneak into the car as she didn’t want to feel left out.
Once he arrives at the campsite, the three others have
already set up, Jack gets out of his car to greet his friends and hug his
girlfriend Lucy, this angers Emily as she’s jealous of the relationship that
Lucy and Jack have, she storms out of the car bringing attention to her
presence. Jack furiously shouts at Emily bringing her to tears, she runs off
and hides from her brother. He goes the opposite way to calm himself down.
Back at the campsite The rest of the group build and light a
fire for warmth as it begins to turn dusk, Tom takes out his camera to film the
girls reaction when he reveals to them the curse, as he starts to film he
notices a dark shadow lurking behind one of the trees, confused he brushes it
off thinking that it’s all in his head. Jack decides to find Emily and
apologise to her as he feels bad for the way he treated her, he begins to panic
when he realises that she is nowhere in sight, he sprints back to camp to get
the others to help, ruining Tom’s plans to tell the girls about the curse. They
begin searching for Emily when all of a sudden Lauren notices a figure of a
girl sat on the ground with her back towards them, she tells the group and as
they approach the figure they realise its Emily but only now she is wearing a
white dress and her hair is pushed over her face whilst making indescribable
noises.
There is a chilling silence before Lucy asks “Are you ok,
Emily?” she does not respond and when asked again by Jack she answers in a
strangled tone “Emily’s not here anymore” as she says this she clambers to her
feet and charges towards Tom who’s holding the camera, pushing him with an
inhumanly force before everything goes black and all you are able to hear are
the whimpers of the scared girls. We then see the group gathered around the fire
confused as to what just happened, until Tom breaks the silence and tells the
group about the curse explaining that it was only meant to be a joke.
Jack is livid with Tom and blames him for what has happened
to his sister, he decides to get up and search for his sister alone as he feels
that he can’t trust Tom anymore, but is followed by Lucy who tries to console
him. The audience are then faced with a P.O.V shot of Emily watching Jack and
Lucy through the trees. This pushes Emily over the edge and she sets back to
camp to kill Lucy’s best friend Lauren, Emily waits until Tom leaves to get
more wood. When alone Lauren hears are strange screechy noise, afraid she
reaches for a torch but panics when the battery isn’t working, she then
questions “Who’s there?” but there’s no reply, she smacks the torch in hope
that it will light up but when it comes on she is not so thankful as she is
faced with Emily stood in front of her with an evil grin. The screen turns to
complete darkness before you hear the painful screams of Lauren shouting for
“Help!” before once again the silence is reinforced.
Tom comes back after gathering wood to be faced with an
empty campsite, confused as to where Lauren is he edges to where she was sat,
he notices the torch flickering on the ground and as he approaches it he
realises its covered in blood, in a stream of panic he runs for Jack and Lucy
unaware he is being followed.
He runs through the trees and spots Jack and Lucy sat on the
bank of the lake, just as he’s about to call them he becomes speechless when he
hears the airy screeches surrounding him, he becomes terrified and starts
sprinting towards the couple until he trips over, he crawls through the mud and
is within touching distance of safety when he lets out a scream and is dragged
back into the darkness, spooked as to what they just heard both Lucy and Jack
stood up looking around, but they couldn’t see anything.
Jack stands in front of Lucy protectively but is unaware
that Emily is standing right behind her and taps Lucy on the shoulder as Lucy
turns around Emily covers her mouth and pulls a sinister smile before violently
dragging her into the water, Jack turns around after hearing the muffled
screams only to be met by Emily standing at the edge of the water holding the
bracelet that Jack had given Lucy on their anniversary, her head is titled to
the side with an twisted smile on her face, Jack is shocked and asks “What have you done
Emily?” Emily replies unremorsefully “They had to go they were taking you away
from me”.
Jack says coldly “This has to end, I’m so sorry Emily”
before putting his hands around her throat and tightening his grip, a tear
falls from Emily’s eye and breathlessly pleads “Jack please stop, it wasn’t me,
I was possessed, stop!” he loosens his grip when he realises that his sister is
back, she goes on to say tearfully “I’m so sorry I couldn’t control she was too
powerful, I didn’t mean to do it, please forgive me!” Jack thinks over what his
sister has said before stumbling back unable to control his emotions. He
notices Emily curled up on floor seeming vulnerable, he can’t help but feel
like he needs to be the protective older brother and goes over to console her
explaining that it wasn’t her that did it.
The final scene is of Emily in her bathroom looking in the
mirror, Jack shouts to her asking if she’s ok, Emily replies with a cheerful
“Yes thank you, I’ll be down now” before you see her reflection in the mirror
as being the possessed version of her, Emily pulls a menacing smile before she
whispers “Don’t worry” then it fades to a black screen.
