1031

A Film by Charles Laughton

Written by Anthony Shaffer

"Synopsis:
College student Cara (Neve Campbell) convinces her French roommate Sylvia (Cecile de France) to accompany her on a visit to her isolated New England village in order to experience a real American Halloween. The girls leave college and drive through winding back roads, through the quaint village of Haddonfield and out to the country home of Cara’s parents. The girls share details of their lives in ‘bonding’ moments, which include Cara admitting that she had a twin sister who died when they were both seniors in high school.

Cara’s parents – Dad played by legendary Henry Fonda and Mom played by Piper Laurie – receive them warmly and begin making preparations for a night of trick or treat. But as the clock strikes 10:31pm, Dad comes into the girls room with an ax.

Act 2 of the film finds Cara and Sylvia fleeing the murderous Dad throughout the farmhouse and farm. A series of cat-and-mouse games ensue as the previously warm and stoic Dad turns into a sadistic stalker. The girls believe they are saved when Mom returns but, in the second twist of the film, Mom is carrying a chainsaw.

Fleeing the suddenly psychotic couple, the girls scramble – in Act 3 – through the woods and dusty roads back to the village of Haddonfield to seek help. But, once they arrive at Haddonfield they find horrific scenes of carnage as families have turned against each other and they find numerous teenage children running in fear from their suddenly murderous parents. Their shock turns to terror when they find that Mom and Dad have tracked them back to Haddonfield and they find themselves temporarily teamed up with other teenage children as they flee the various parents who have turned murderous. As the teens are picked off one by one, Cara and Sylvia find themselves once again alone.

The film’s climactic conclusion takes place in the police station as the girls find that there is no one to help them. As their fate seems sealed, Sylvia discovers the box of car keys and she and Cara make their way to the service garage in the hopes of finding a vehicle to escape. Just as they seem about to escape, Cara strikes Sylvia in the back of the head with a police truncheon and the French girl slumps to the floor as the screen goes black.

Sylvia stirs in the film’s final horrific moments and we find that she is strapped to the dining table at Cara’s home. Cara and her parents smile at the trapped girl as Dad sharpens his butcher knife. Cara tells Sylvia: “Don’t take it personally, I just didn’t have anymore sisters.” As Dad plunges his knife down the screen goes black.


Rationale:

I want this to be an ode to Shirley Jackson’s story “The Lottery,” though I would hope that the script wouldn’t really explain what was going on too explicitly. I also think the number 1031 could play up in interesting ways – the parent’s address is 1031, 1031 on Cara’s license plate, the terror begins at 10:31pm, etc.

I chose Andrew Shaffer because of his strong work on The Wicker Man as well as on Frenzy and even – to some extent Sleuth. I want the script to play up the shift from seemingly quaint village to madhouse.

I chose Charles Laughton because I always thought Night of the Hunter was brilliant and it saddens me that the poor reception of that ‘ahead of its time’ film made him give up his directing vision.

My one ‘stunt casting’ is Henry Fonda as “Dad”. I’m thinking of the middle aged Fonda of Grapes of Wrath. It might seem cheesy but I could really imagine him going from warm and loving father to sadistic psychopath.

Piper Laurie was so good in Carrie that I chose her as the lead female. I think she would be very good at transforming from June Cleaver into psychotic killer.

The two female leads are among my favorite actresses in horror. I think Neve Campbell is incredibly smart and strong and really loved her in the Scream films. I also like the trick it will pull on the audience when they find out she’s been stringing Sylvia along the whole time and the smug look on her face when we find out that she has sacrificed Sylvia to save her own life.

I guess a similar trick is played on viewers with my choice of Cecile de France as Sylvia. Since she played the killer in High Tension, it will be tricky to make her the victim in this film. I also thought she had the right combination of tough but vulnerable in that film (whatever you think of the ending).

I see the tone of this film being as grounded in reality as possible – I’m not looking for something ‘witty’ or ironic. I also like the theme of playing with family values and what we’re willing to sacrifice to keep our ‘normal’ lives."




This is what the esteemed Judge had to say in his very short but hard-hitting verdict...

"9/10. Best reward possible."



Woohoo...WAY TO GO, ZERO!!

You score 9 points out of a possible 10 (I grant you TWO HPs for that), and you also win a Grenade Launcher with TWO Grenades for that awesome effort!!

Congrats!




The other two havent turned in their verdicts yet...

gosh thanks - i kind of liked the idea - so somebody tell Rod that he and I can collaborate (of course we'll need shovels to dig up laughton, shaffer and fonda - and boy are they gonna stink!).

[neverending]

Holy crap- I want to see that film!

[Despare]

Very good Zero! Lots of effort, I'd watch it!
