Film Ideas

Film Idea 1
A teenage girl has been going to a therapist for a number of years because she struggles to distinguish the difference between what is reality and what is a delusion. The girl’s family have insisted she sees this therapist after being diagnosed with insomnia, causing illusions and isolation, but she is determined to prove she can cope. The movie opens with the girl sat with her therapist, discussing her condition, however the conversation is extremely one sided. As the therapist continues to make conversation, it becomes clear that this session has another person included, but either the girl or the therapist ever addresses them. This third person turns out to be a recurring illusion the girl sees of another teenager who claims to be an emissary of Lucifer, who has been continuously, disrupts her life to get her attention. This ‘possessed girl’ makes many remarks towards people she meets, intrudes in situations and causes events only she can hear that become so realistic she can't tell whether it is just an illusion, from minor things like singing to her while she sleeps, or by showing her people she cares for die brutally.


Film Idea 2
The story opens with a teenage girl going through a normal day any other British teen would, going to college, in certain domestic situations, meeting friends. Then one night her parents decide to go out for their anniversary meal and weekend away, leaving her home alone with her best friend. While she is watching a TV show, she decides to go into the kitchen and make her and her friend a cup of tea, but when she reaches for the sugar, it falls off the counter, just as she repeats a spell mentioned in the TV show. She see’s it as just an accident, but small things like this have been happening multiple times. As a joke, that night when her friend is sleeping she tests her theory of having the power by googling the ancient greek terms and testing what they mean. It ends up becoming true, and they discover that the TV show is based on traditional beliefs of Warlocks and Sears. The middle of the movie is just the two girls researching the beliefs, finding spells and trying to discover why she has this blessing. It ends on the girl discovering she was blessed by her great aunt 13 days after she was born, after her enraged husband vowed to kill the girl after seeing a vision telling him to do so, as she was destined to cause great destruction. The Great Aunt tried to ensure him, with proof, there the baby’s heart was pure, and that he had been tricked Dolos, greek god of guile, but this drove anger into Dolos’ heart, leading to her husband's death, and to the blessing. They realise that blessing had also left a curse on her Great Aunt much like the ancient myth of Cassandra, but it is only effective to the mortal.
