Our
film’s main character is Mary-Anne who is stalked by a man called Dennis.
Mary-Anne lives a typical, happy life with her husband, John and their daughter
Lizzie. At the start of the film Mary-Anne’s mother dies, this affects
Mary-Anne a lot as she had a very close relationship with her mother.
In
one scene at the start of the film Mary-Anne lays flowers at her mother’s
grave, in the background we see a man, observing Mary-Anne nad being
disrespectful towards her mothers grave. This disturbs her, and she approaches
the man to find out who he is – as he replies he grabs and shakes her and says
“you should know who I am!”
Mary-Anne
thinks nothing of this until strange things start happening to her – she
believes she is being watched: she keeps receiving knocks at the door and no
one is there and she keeps seeing the same van near her house. As soon as she
looks outside at it, however, the van drives away. (Other strange things will
happen to her throughout the course of the film, driving her to the edge of
lunacy, however, this isn’t shown in the trailer.)
To
make matters worse, her husband, John, leaves the house after a heated
arguement he has with Mary-Anne. She tells her John about her stalker, but he
doesn’t believe her, and thinks she is still just mourning over the death of
her mother. about her being stalked. Since
their relationship has been crumbling away since the death of Mary-Anne’s
mother, this is when their relationship is at it’s worst. Mary-Anne continues
to become increasingly paranoid about what is happening to her and now without
John in the home she feels extremely scared. That evening, she is awoken by
noises in the house and she hopes that John has returned. She calls his name
and goes into her daughter’s room to check she’s ok. There is no response from anyone
when she calls for him, so she goes back to her bedroom. When she returns her
bedroom is messy and her window is wide open so she knows someone has been in
the house. She looks outside and faintly sees a man running off in a black
leather jacket, similar to the one the man at the graveyard was wearing (it is
Dennis).
John
has been missing for a few days. Mary-Anne is worried because he hasn’t been
returning her calls or coming home, but hasn’t rung the police as she thinks
he’s just simply left her for good. Even though her life is falling apart and
she is on the verge of lunacy she wants to make sure that Lizzie still has a
stable and functioning home and mother. She goes out to the shop to get some
milk, but she is in a rush and is already distressed, so she leaves her car
door unlocked by accident. She receives a call whilst walking back to her car from
her daughter but she cannot hear her as it is a broken and crackling line, all
she can make out is: “mum....dad.....home.....he’s....brother”, (John is home,
and has figured out what’s gone on, and needs to tell Mary-Anne, but he has
been tortured so much, he can barely speak) to which she responds franctically
“look I’m coming home now, just sit tight I’ll be there in a second.”
When
she gets back into her car she adjusts her mirror and she can see Dennis’ eyes
glaring at her in the mirror from the back of the car. He kidnaps her, takes
her to a disused warehouse and reveals to her that he is in fact her half
brother that their mother put up for adoption before she was bor, as he was a
‘mistake’. He killed their mother for what she did to him when he was young,
and now Mary-Anne is next in line to be killed because he is jealous of her
perfect family upbringing, and that she has an idyllic family life now she is
an adult. He tortures Mary-Anne but she devises a plan to kill him and escape.
As he is about to sexually abuse her she realises the woman who she really is,
she does not have a twisted mind like her half brother, and she is a survivor.
She teases him and tries to make him believe that she is enjoying his seductive
games. As he climbs on top of her she grabs a weapon that he’d been using to
torture her, Mary-Anne is so close to death but she manages to push her away
from him and she snaps his neck. The final scene shows police cars, ambulances
and people turning up as she is walking out of the warehouse calmly and
silently, with a stern facial expression.
