Final Trailer Synopsis

As a group, we came up with a storyline that we find we will be able to do and make it a very effective and scary trailer, it is as follows:

In 1930 a woman, Cathryn Franks lived with her 10 year old daughter Helen Franks in an isolated house in the countryside. Helen was brutally abused by her mother and was locked in the cold and dark basement at night to sleep. Eventually, Helen was murdered by her mother in one of her common rages and Helen died with a vengeance, buried in the garden.

In 2011 when Cathryn and Helen hasd been completely forgotten, a woman called Sarah Biggens moved into the same house with her 10 year old daughter Cassie Biggens. Cassie's parents split when she was still a baby and her father; a very important buisness man still lives in the city. Sarah and Cassie share a very special bond and love each other with all of their hearts.

Once moving into the house all is well until Sarah starts hearing funny noises coming from the basement. When Sarah goes to the basement nothing is out of the ordinary and she finds some old photos of a moody looking woman and sometimes a little girl in the background of the photos. Sarah thinks nothing of it and carried on as if everything is normal until she notices Cassie spending a lot of her time in the basement. Things seem ever more strange when Cassie tells her of a new friend, Helen. Sarah implies that Helen is just an imaginary friend but Cassie seems certain that Helen is real and is upset that her mother is against her new friend.

Sarah starts noticing a difference in Cassie and is surprised when Cassie suddenly knows private stuff about her. More and more unexplainable events take place such as waking up to a young girl calling for her mum to let her out, coming from the basement but when she goes to look Cassie is safe and asleep in her bed. Sarah decides to look into the pictures she found in the basement and is devestated to find that the little girl is called Helen.

Cassie begins to avoid Sarah and eventually admits that she is scared in case her mother with start abusing her. Sarah tries to comfort Cassie by telling her she would never hurt her but Cassie replies that she knows it's just an act as Helen has told her.

Sarah becomes more and more distressed as things swirl out of control, so much that eventually Cassie turns petrified of Helen and begs her mother for help, telling her that Helen has turned against her and is trying to replace her so she gets the mother she never had. Helen becomes angry that Cassie has vetrayed her and her vengeance is let loose among the house in which Sarah and Cassie find themselves trapped in and Sarah knows that eventually she will have to go into the basement and stand up to this evil ghost.
