THE R.I.P MAN
By Rhys Thompson

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE: Six college friends find themselves being targeted by a new type of killer in the shadowy town of Idaho Falls. Can a young man, work out the connection to his past and put an end to the gruesome death - dealings?

SYNOPSIS:

We begin with a cold opening scene. A Young girl is home alone and waiting to be picked up by her boyfriend for a night out. She witnesses the antagonist early on, lurking downstairs in the dark hallway but we don't get to see a close-up. After she runs upstairs, he gains entry into her room and then there is a short period of silence. A chattering teeth toy will enter the bedroom and move around uncontrollably, hitting things in its way. Then, we will finally be introduced to our killer. Visceral looking and wearing a black mouthguard that visibly displays his moniker " THE R.I.P MAN " in bold white lettering. A Pockmarked face and elongated fingers to match his horrid cacophony of laughter. Bald and wearing a black type of donkey jacket. He will show his absence of teeth. It doesn't end well for our first victim. We will then be introduced to the five other friends and delve into their characteristics. Donnie is the Protagonist and the audience will be able to latch on to his quest for survival. A real fighter and will do anything to protect his friends. Gradually, the group of friends will reduce as the killer kills them off one by one. Why does The R.I.P Man carry out these attacks? Who's hiding something? There will be a big revelation that will explain the connection between the protagonist and antagonist, as Detective Gary Mullen manages to work out the identity of the town's killer. The death scenes are imaginative with medieval and contemporary methods used. We also will have a backstory for the killer which may even create some empathy for him. The end scene will leave it open for a sequel but who can survive the the evil clutches of " THE R.I.P MAN?"
