Possible Narrative

I had known for weeks


I tried to forgive as was taught, but should I really forgive, when she feels no sorrow, no regret?

Should I forgive when she shows no willingness to confess?

The thought of them burned inside of me until it was unleashed in one thunderous rage.

Her beautiful smile, forever tainted with my memory of him. 

Its strange, how when your life shakes with a tremendous roar, the lords forest stays so still, so tranquil.

Unmoved by the atrocities of this modern age.

An age where whores like her do as they please, repelling the good word of the lord, spitting in the face of their maker, the one they owe everything to.

But no more.

As I watch the ashes of the one I loved course through the placid air, I feel no relief, No sudden sense of justice to quench my anger.
I feel this, because I know, I know the one to blame is still breathing, completely oblivious to the macabre events of which were his causing.
I can picture him, sitting with his family, laughing, oblivious to the fact that I am coming for him, oblivious to the fact that I will-not-stop until his body, is decomposing in some shallow swamp surrounded by the bones of his children. Not until he is forced to kneel before Lucifer himself, and beg for the retribution of which he will never be granted.
      'Return O lord, Deliver my soul: O Save me for thy mercies sake
       For in death there is no remembrance
       And in thy grave, who shall give thee thanks?'


We have decided to scrap the idea of a narrative because when we accumulated the video and audio together it did not match well. We will however keep this post up to show our progress to our final piece.

Inception of Characters

Our characters took form after a long and close study of the most well known fictional characters portrayed in cinemas. 


 One character we examined was Jack Torrance, played by Jack Nicholson in the 1980 adaption of 'The Shining'.  Jack Torrance is a writer and former teacher who is trying to rebuild his family's life after his alcoholism and volatile temper costs him his teaching position at a small preparatory school. Having given up drinking, he accepts a position maintaining the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado for the winter, in the hope that this will salvage his family, re-establish his career, and give him the time and privacy to finish a promising play.






 Another character which perhaps influenced our character Darragh  Boyle the most is Norman Bates played by Anthony Perkins. Norman Bates suffers severe emotional abuse as a child at the hands of his mother, who preaches to him that sex is evil and that all women (except herself) are whores. The two of them live together in a state of total co-dependence after the death of Bates' father. When Bates is a teenager, his mother takes a lover which drives Bates over the edge with jealousy. Bates murders both of them with strychnine and preserves his mothers corpse. Bates develops dissociative identity disorder, assuming his mothers personality, repressing her death as a way to escape the guilt of killing her. He inherits his mothers house, where he keeps her corpse, and the family motel in fictional Fairvale, California.





As you can see the type of characters we are interested in emulating are making a pattern. The characters seem to be more mentally conflicted or insane rather than the basic slasher villains intent solely on murder. This gives our character personality and sets him apart from the majority of horror persona's. 


Darragh Boyle - Main Character, Murderer.
Raised by a strict Roman Catholic family. Darragh met and married Chloe 4 years before the events of this film, and has proved in the past to be easily agitated.
Played by Ryan Kearney.


Chloe Boyle - Secondary Character, Primary Victim.
Chloe was raised in Ireland and unlike Darragh was brought up as irreligious. Since marriage to Darragh she has felt the effects of immense stress due to his attitude/borderline obsession with religion and his frightening mood swings, because of this she spends her time searching for escape of which she finds in Richard.
Played by Natalie M?


Richard Striker - Only shown through Pictures, Implied Victim
Richard moved to Ireland from New York with his wife and two young sons. Although he has no friendship or acquaintance with Darragh he has known Chloe for several years. Darragh is unaware of this until the day of the events shown.
