How could...
(DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
MAN: You don't
believe in monsters.
I do.
This is what it's all
come down to, is it?
Oh god, it was you the whole
time, how was I so stupid?
A homicidal bandit.
How could you do this to us?
We're friends.
What now?
So what now?
And what's next, huh?
Are you gonna kill me, too?
You gonna kill me, too?
MAN: Come on out
before I kill you.
Take the mask off.
Go on, show yourself!
Go on.
Show yourself.
WOMAN: Not a
monster, an execution.
I don't know who you are,
but I'm begging you, please.
- Please!
- Please.
Please don't kill
me, I don't wanna die.
WOMAN: There was half
of us dying out there.
Not like this, I
don't wanna die like...
- I don't wanna die!
- I don't wanna die!
MAN: The creature has
the mind of a murderer.
(WOMAN SOBS DRAMATICALLY)
Please don't hurt me!
Well, if you hadn't
have cheated on me,
then maybe this wouldn't
have happened, huh?
No wonder I am the way I am,
you can only cage someone
for so long before
they break free.
Hi, my name is Kia Anderson,
I am with Little Fish Casting.
Profile.
And my hands.
And what are your
thoughts around Sarah
from Heart Breakers?
Sarah, well, I think that
she is totally relatable.
For me, anyway, I was trying
to think of what I could draw
upon for her character and I
think it's just to have someone
that makes you feel so vulnerable
and unwanted, I mean...
Are you aware that
the role is unpaid, Kia?
Yes, that is fine, yeah.
I'm okay with unpaid work
if I believe in the script.
And are you happy with
full-frontal nudity?
What scene is that in?
The bit where Neil
has not rung her.
She's just got
out of the shower.
Walks down the hallway,
full-frontal, gets into bed.
Sure. (CHUCKLES)
So, here's the thing.
In these times, it's getting
hard and harder, and,
I mean, for a blonde girl
like yourself in the industry,
you know, right?
And obviously, with your career,
it's been such a rollercoaster
ride with all those
close calls and near misses.
I know, I know. (CHUCKLES)
I mean, I think today
went really well.
I feel like I have a chance.
And there weren't that many
girls in the waiting room, so...
I believe in you, I really
do, and I wouldn't say that
if I didn't think so, but, okay.
It's your age.
Annoyingly and sadly,
there are so many girls.
It's so competitive.
See, uh...
- So what you're saying is...
- Yeah, babe.
I think we should call it a day.
I'm sorry, but...
You're gonna get another agent,
I've got no doubt about that
and you're great,
you're talented,
but I just think I wouldn't be
doing my job if I kept you on
it'd be unfair to you and I'm
sorry that I never was able
to give you what you wanted.
It's just so difficult and...
(PHONE VIBRATES)
WOMAN: So she
just dropped you?
Yep.
I mean, I know I
have what it takes.
I just haven't had my
big break yet, you know?
I mean, luck plays
such a huge part.
It's like my agent didn't
have a hook to sell me on.
To get me into the room
for the big auditions,
to drive people to choose
me over everyone else.
Honestly though,
with your profession,
how do you know
you're gonna be good?
Like seriously, if I was
going for a job interview,
I would have like a week or
something to prep, like minimum,
but with yours, they're like,
"Oh, can you come
in the next day?
"Got an audition," you
know, Irish accent?
It's so hard, I just don't
know how you can be good.
It's like they just wanna
cast people who are the role.
You know, that's
not why I did this.
I don't wanna play
Kia in a film.
That's not what drove
me to this profession.
Don't do it anymore, quit.
Stop.
You're just always, you
feel so negative about it,
and you're always saying
how the same five actresses
get the same roles
all the time, I just,
why don't you just do
something that makes you happy?
I love it when I get to do it.
Yeah but then you can't
even afford things like a car.
You're right.
Sorry.
If I'd have worked this
hard in any other profession,
I would've climbed the
ladder, I know that.
(SIGHS) Why was my
first job so fun?
(GROANS) Everything has
gone downhill since then.
What was your first
film called again?
Colorado. (LAUGHS)
(FRIEND LAUGHS)
- Oh my gosh, can we watch it?
- Reese, no!
Come on!
What're you doing
snooping around down there?
You're not gonna see it, okay?
I have this weird connection
to it, you're not seeing it.
No, honestly, you should do
what makes you happy, okay?
Just don't like seeing
you down all the time.
Now the ball's in your court.
Thank you.
It's okay.
Every 20 years people
go missing, they die.
They disappear.
I have developed...
WOMAN: It's not a
scarecrow, June, who is it?
Fuck all skills.
Yay.
(KEYBOARD CLACKS)
WOMAN: All right,
June, snap out of it now.
Scarecrow, it's a
scarecrow, it's a scarecrow!
If only this had got
a theatrical release.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
Hello?
Hey, is that Kia Anderson?
KIA: Yes, who's this?
Hey, this is Tim Johnson.
Director and producer
of The Final Scream.
You sent a self-tape recently
for the title lead
role of Melissa.
KIA: Ah yeah, right, Melissa,
was that on Casting United?
TIM: Yes, I believe so.
Listen, Kia, I absolutely love
what you did with Melissa.
It was exactly what I was
looking for from the role.
So we'd like to invite
you to the final recall.
KIA: Really? (CHUCKLES)
Wow, that is incredible.
Yes, yes, I would love to.
When is it?
Well, it would
be this weekend.
So, apologies for
the short notice.
This weekend being tomorrow.
It's a two-day shoot, so
tomorrow and Sunday with myself,
and other members of
the crew at the location
where we'll be shooting.
We'll be going over scenes,
exploring the characters,
things like that.
You're the only actress
that we're calling back
at this stage.
Of course, if it
doesn't go to plan,
we can always see others
in line for the role.
KIA: Wow, that sounds
absolutely amazing.
Yes, I will be there.
Can I ask, is it a paid role?
It is, yes.
I'll send you over
the details by email.
See you tomorrow.
(KIA SOBS DRAMATICALLY)
Please don't hurt me. (PANTS)
Hi, my name is Kia.
(SCREAMS)
Woo!
Delete, delete, delete!
Hah!
No call center job for me.
WOMAN: Tell me who it is.
He's coming, he's coming,
he's gonna kill me, it's him.
WOMAN: All right, June.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Hey!
Hi.
(CHUCKLES) What are you doin'?
I got to the finals
for a feature film.
(BOTH SCREAM)
No way!
Oh, my god!
Oh, my god, that is so good.
I'm so excited.
What're you doing
with all this stuff?
It's like over an hour away.
Okay, so why do you have
all this stuff, though?
It's a weekend workshop.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
So what is it about?
- The film?
- Mm-hm.
Okay, it is about
this character, Melissa.
Hopefully me.
And I've come to the
UK for my wedding,
with all my bridesmaids,
we go on a road trip,
and then everyone starts
to go missing one by one.
It's a horror film.
Oh.
Well, do you have the
location and stuff?
I do, yes.
I have it in an email
somewhere, I'll send it to you.
Yeah, just be good to
know the details, you know.
- Of course.
- Yeah.
- Finally.
- Okay, let's get you packed.
Okay.
Okay, so it is a weekend
workshop, I've done them before.
He'll probably just get me to
perform the scenes with the
other actors but I am the only
one called back for the role.
What, so you're
gonna be the only girl?
Yeah, that's crazy, right?
(REESE CHUCKLES)
Well, yeah.
Okay.
(REESE SIGHS)
REESE: Hey.
Why do you have to
do that all the time?
Do what?
That, this is normal
in my industry, okay?
- Why do you have to do that?
- Okay, sorry.
Just worry.
Okay, well you're not my mom.
(REESE CHUCKLES)
Even though I appreciate it.
Can I borrow your car?
Wait, did you just
steal my car keys?
Maybe.
REESE: You were
totally gonna run off,
- without even saying goodbye?
- I'm so naughty!
Yeah, with my car!
You are unbelievable.
(KIA CHUCKLES)
Seriously, you
don't need to worry.
This is very normal
for my industry, okay?
Okay, well just make
sure you call me and stuff,
'cause just...
Come here.
Stop worrying about me, okay?
REESE: Okay.
I do love you, okay?
REESE: I love you.
I'll see you in
a couple of days.
Don't go.
(KIA CHUCKLES)
- Wish me luck.
- Okay.
Good luck!
(MOODY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
(KIA SIGHS)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
- Hey, love.
- Oh, hi.
I'm Kia Anderson, I'm
here for the callback.
- Hello, Kia.
- Hi.
We know who you are, 'cause
I've seen all your tapes.
- Oh, awesome.
- Yeah.
Oh, I'm Ruth, (CHUCKLES)
I'm the makeup artist,
forward-slash sound
recordist on this shoot.
- Oh, wow. (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah.
I've put your name on a
door in the house, 'cause
everybody was working really
late, so everyone's really
stressed, so if you just wanna
go in and put your bag down
and make yourself comfortable
and then one of us
will come in and see you later.
- Great!
- Okay.
(PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
TIM: Be rested.
Be ready, be prepared.
Tim.
- You took your time.
- Hey.
Oh, you know me,
I'm a slow driver.
REESE: Oh, it's fine.
So, are you there,
how is the place?
It's good, it's isolated.
It's exactly what you'd expect
for a horror film. (CHUCKLES)
- Nowhere to run.
- Well, that sounds great.
Are you excited?
Yeah.
(DISTORTED INTERFERENCE)
Reese.
Reese.
(PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
(BIRDS TWEET)
Somebody help me!
Please.
I wanna go home.
I wanna go...
I just, call my mom.
Please.
(SCREAMS)
(MUFFLED SOBS)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Please.
Please no, please, please!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, please don't hurt me.
Somebody help me, please.
Somebody help me, please.
Help me, please!
I don't wanna die, please.
Please, no, no!
Please, no!
Get off of me!
Take that off of me!
Please get it off of me.
Get it off of me, please.
(COUGHS AND GASPS)
Help me, somebody please.
I can't do this anymore.
Help me.
Please help me.
Please.
Somebody come and help. (SOBS)
(BONE CRACKS)
(FLESH SQUELCHES)
Ah.
Kia Anderson.
Lovely to meet you.
The pleasure is all
mine, Tim, it's all mine.
I bought the costume that
you, the black t-shirt.
Good.
Go for it, Kia.
Oh, um...
Okay, I've been
on some TV shows,
I have played support in
a lot of feature films.
No, no, Kia, I'm not interested
in being sold your CV.
I want to know how you work.
Your audition tape, it was
something quite spectacular.
All the other girls, they
just felt false, you know?
It was the same lines with
the same rehearsed inflections
in the same places,
there was nothing real,
nothing raw about them.
I didn't believe them, Kia.
Whereas, with you.
Well, you took Melissa
to a whole new level.
(KIA CHUCKLES)
Wow, that is
such a compliment.
Well, I guess as an actor,
I've just always wanted
to be truthful, so if I have
good company in a scene,
then I will just respond
to them instinctively.
No, I like it.
It fits well with
how I work, you see,
I have a very specific way
that I like my actors to work.
I want my actors to
genuinely feel everything.
That they see, that
they say, that they do.
Of course.
TIM: I want it to be the
closest it can be to reality.
- Yeah.
- On screen, you understand?
I want the audience to actually
question, is this happening?
- Exactly, I know, yeah.
- You see?
Mm-hm, method acting.
Yeah, I've always wanted
to just become a character.
(CHUCKLES) Yes, well
and you are Melissa
in a lot of ways, aren't you?
Well, I'd like to make some
more distinctive choices.
But yeah, there's a part
of me in every character,
but I'd like to play
Melissa as Melissa.
I understand.
Right!
Should we get started?
KIA: Of course.
Ah.
Team.
This is Kia Anderson.
KIA: Hi. (CHUCKLES)
We met last night.
This is Jeff,
he's the cameraman.
Director of photography.
- Hey. (CHUCKLES)
- It's nice to meet you.
Hi, nice to meet you.
They're going to be documenting
the process this weekend.
Oh, cool, okay, so like
behind the scenes and...
- Exactly.
- Cool.
Hi. (LAUGHS)
Right, should we get going?
It wasn't your fault,
Lisa, he attacked you.
Okay?
We'll go to jail
if I'm caught.
If we can't dispose of the
body soon, we get caught.
I don't want to go to jail, Mel.
You need to stop
thinking like that.
I promise you, we, I'm
gonna get you out of this.
Just, cut, cut, cut, cut.
(SIGHS) Look, Kia.
I need you to really
believe what you're saying.
Have you ever been in a
situation where you've been
really close to losing someone?
I mean, Lisa going to jail,
it's the next thing
to life or death.
Have you ever experienced
something like that?
Well, when I was younger.
I lost my mom.
How did she die, Kia?
In the hospital,
she had cancer.
She died in the hospital.
I want you to really remember
your mother, right now.
I want you to remember
what she was wearing,
what did her skin feel like,
what did the room
smell like that day,
what was the temperature
of the room like?
Answer the questions, Kia.
I was 16.
I had caught the bus
to school that day.
I had this, um, this urgent
phone call from my dad
telling me to come
to the hospital.
It was...
It was the last
time to say goodbye.
And he looked so scared.
Because he was gonna lose his
wife for the rest of his life,
his best friend.
He was so pale.
I remember sitting next
to the bed and just...
Just waiting for her to die.
And in this sick way...
Go on.
And in a sick way,
I wanted her to die.
TIM: What happened
when she died?
What did you see?
Her body jolted up.
It was like she
couldn't breathe.
It was twitching.
And I saw her take
her last breath.
Look at me, Kia.
Use what you're
feeling right now.
Think to scene 92 where Gina
herself dies in your arms.
Her throat is slashed and
she's gasping for breath,
just like your mother
gasped for breath.
See her there, see her in
your arms, dying in your arms.
Picture her, fighting
for her last breath,
knowing that she's going to die.
See it, Kia.
And now the lines of scene 92.
Don't leave me.
Please don't leave me.
And your mother dies.
She is gone forever and you
will never see her again.
You will never see
her face again,
you will never hear
her voice again.
And the lines of scene 92, Kia.
(SOBS) No.
No, don't go.
No, don't go!
Please don't go, don't go.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, stay with me.
(MOANS)
(SIGHS)
(TIM CHUCKLES)
Come on.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
JEFF: Nice work in there.
KIA: Thank you.
He can be tough.
But he's only tough when
he likes the performer.
If he didn't believe in you,
he wouldn't give you the time.
(CHUCKLES) That's nice.
You won't get signal
much around here.
Being in the middle of nowhere
can be problematic like that.
Yeah, I mean, I guess it's
a good thing for the film.
You know, so much screaming
at the end. (CHUCKLES)
No one around, no one
can hear or complain.
Sure.
Right, that's enough
of a break for now.
Should we go out into the woods?
Scene 104.
- Let's do it.
- Right behind you, boss.
Okay!
Kia, scene 104.
Now, Melissa has managed to
escape the masked killer,
and has managed to make
it through the woods, but,
oh, shit, she doesn't
have a clue where to run,
and having left a friend
behind, what can she do?
Sure, okay.
It's a question, Kia.
Oh right, sorry, (CHUCKLES)
Melissa, Melissa, okay.
Kia, Kia, Kia,
come on, come on.
Okay, she needs to figure
out if she is going to keep
running or if she turns and
she faces the problem head on.
Win or lose.
Win or lose, now I like it,
so yes, Melissa's fight or
flight is well and truly in
action and what does she do?
- She fights.
- She does, indeed.
The real hero of the film
comes to life, and she goes to
unmask the monster that has
taken the lives of her friends.
Oh, so my script
finishes at 110,
so can I ask who the killer is?
(CHUCKLES) Well, you don't
actually get to find out
who the killer is until
we shoot the scene.
Trust me, it's a hell
of a twist. (CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES) Okay,
I hope it's not me.
Right!
Show me what you've got.
And action.
(KIA SCREAMS)
(DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
Stay away from me!
Stay away from me, I said!
(SCREAMS)
No, don't kill me!
Don't kill me!
I know who you are!
I know what you did!
Help me!
Help me!
(GRUNTS AND SCREAMS)
Please don't kill
me, don't kill me.
I'm scared, don't kill me.
Don't kill me, don't kill me!
Oh, shit, was that okay?
I feel like I went
too high-pitched.
No no, it's good, not now,
come on, let's keep going.
- Okay.
- Okay?
No, I'm gonna
do it again, okay?
- Okay, come on.
- I'm gonna stand up.
Okay.
I know what you did to my
sister, but I'm innocent!
I'm innocent!
(DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
Please.
- Please, please, please...
- Yes, yes, that's the one!
That is the one, Kia, that
is the one, that is perfect!
(CHUCKLES) I'm not gonna
lie, I feel flustered.
TIM: That's good though, Kia.
That's how you
should be feeling.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, that's the energy.
- That's what she has.
- Okay.
I've been trying to call
you all day, I'm so sorry.
REESE: It's okay, don't
worry, how's it all going?
So good, Tim was really
impressed with what I did today.
He seemed really into it all.
He was giving me all these
really great comments and stuff.
REESE: Well, can I come
and see you if you get it?
I would love that, yeah, it
feels really isolated here...
How are you?
KIA: I'm good, how are you?
I'm well, thank you.
Listen, Kia.
(SIGHS) I want
this whole process
to be that of method acting.
You understand?
Yeah, got it.
So, um.
No phones.
Melissa has no communication
with the outside world, so,
neither should Kia.
Now, Kia.
So, I'll take your phone now?
Great.
Meet me downstairs
in 10 minutes.
We'll have some
dinner and then have
one last rehearsal
while it's dark.
And from now on, we're going
to refer to you as Melissa.
No more Kia.
(SOMBER ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
Why do you think Melissa chooses
to go back and save her sister,
rather than picking her fiance?
I think that whatever happens
at the wedding can be resolved.
But she can't not go
back for her sister.
She could die, she
could lose her forever.
In real life, your boyfriend.
Would you leave
him at the altar?
Well, if I had a sister,
I would choose my sibling.
Okay, I want you to really
picture your boyfriend
in your mind's eye.
Imagine the devastation
on his face,
standing there at the altar
and you not showing up.
Well...
What does he look like, Reese?
Oh.
Well, Reese is a girl,
and I think that she would
be, yeah, really devastated,
but if she thought that
my sister was in danger,
then she would
totally understand.
(TIM SIGHS)
Is something the matter?
Sorry, Kia.
Melissa has a boyfriend.
Yeah.
TIM: And it's now coming
to light that you are gay.
Well, that shouldn't
change anything.
You didn't suspect anything
until now and I don't think
the audience will, if
I do a good enough job.
No, I'm sorry, it just
doesn't feel right that
the actress playing
Melissa can't truly connect
to the actor playing
her boyfriend.
Yeah, but in saying
that, I don't connect with
a lot of people that
I work opposite.
It's like a sex scene.
You're not turned on, you're
performing, you're working.
You're doing your job.
Melissa, how did
your parents die?
My dad's not dead.
Melissa.
How did your parents die?
I'm sorry. (CLEARS THROAT)
They died in a car accident
when I was younger.
They, from food, food poisoning?
From uncooked food
on a vacation.
Are you saying that Ruth
didn't cook this food properly?
No. (CHUCKLES)
No, no, I'm saying that
that's how my parents died.
Did you even read the script?
Yeah.
Well, then I think
it's pretty damn obvious
what happened to her parents.
Her mother got into debt
and died from drinking.
Her father killed himself.
I don't think that's written
anywhere in the script.
It's in the subtext.
I know, I wrote it.
(SIGHS)
Okay, let's go outside and
do scene 111, killer reveal.
Stand there.
(SIGHS)
Right.
Scene 111, killer reveal.
Oh, I don't know the
lines to that scene.
I don't know who the killer is.
Improvise them.
(CHUCKLES) Fine, I'll
fucking spoon feed you.
Scene 111, killer reveal.
All your friends are dead and
you are the last one standing,
face to face with
the masked killer.
And action.
You.
Huh, who are you?
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
Huh?
Stay away from me.
I said, stay the
hell away from me.
(DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
Um, uh...
Take off your mask.
I said, take off your mask!
You.
How could you?
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this?
Look what you've done!
Look what you've done to me.
Huh?
Huh? Look what
you've done to me!
What do you want from me?
(MUSIC SWELLS)
Let's just wrap it
up for the evening.
- I don't actually know...
- Just stop, okay?
You're tired, you're just
not performing well enough.
KIA: I didn't...
You were spellbinding
earlier, but it's...
Tim, I don't know
who the killer is.
It's just sloppy now!
Just go away, okay,
and be Melissa!
You're still being Kia.
Be Melissa!
Be in the moment!
Look, try not
to worry about it.
It's just the way he works.
It's his process.
Anyway.
Sleep well.
Hi, Kia, it's me.
Been trying to call
you a few times now.
I've just not heard from you.
I'm just getting a
bit worried, okay?
Can you just call me and let
me know you're okay at least?
Love you.
(SIGHS)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Probably one of the crew.
Scouting tomorrow's location.
Sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you.
No, it's fine, I'm
just a little on edge.
Come sit with me.
Come on.
Well, I can't say
I wasn't expecting
- to hear from you so late.
- Yeah, sorry.
I know it's late, I'm
just worried about Kia.
Why, what's happened?
I just haven't heard from her
since you sent her
on that callback.
What callback?
For the horror film.
I never got her a
callback for a horror film.
(DARK ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
Glass?
No, thanks.
I didn't know
you'd done casting.
Indeed.
Melissa is the
last role to fill.
Thank you, I didn't know.
Oh.
I see Bev has
completed her scenes.
You've begun filming?
TIM: We started
a little while ago.
You have Harley Dawson from
The Parent Trap playing Talia?
Go on, sit down.
So, what's up?
What do you mean?
With you, something's
wrong, what is it?
You know, Melissa
in this situation,
she'd tell me what was wrong.
She'd have the balls.
Okay.
I don't think I am what
you're looking for.
I'll leave first
thing in the morning.
I don't wanna
disappoint you anymore.
You have Melissa inside
you, you know that, right?
You just need to let me
help you release her.
Kia is the problem.
Kia is the one who
won't back down,
who won't allow herself to
be real, to be vulnerable.
To be honest.
Kia is the wall that
we need to break down.
You've got to stop
being so sensitive.
'Cause the role's yours.
Wait, what?
You are Melissa.
You just need to let me
help you release her.
You've got the job.
(KIA CHUCKLES)
Oh, my god.
Really?
Oh, wow.
(CHUCKLES)
Tim, thank you so much.
I am gonna work so hard on this.
I know you will, Kia,
I don't doubt that.
You're gonna be a big star,
you know that? (CHUCKLES)
Go on, go get some rest.
We start filming tomorrow.
Filming?
Well, why not?
Now you're cast, let's
get to the action.
Go on, get some rest.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's going to be the
role of a lifetime.
Goodnight.
(DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
(CAMERA BLEEPS)
The only thing I can think
of is to check her emails or
something, just to see if I
can find any information on it.
Oh, god.
What?
I told her not to use
these online websites,
but I mean, you know
her better than I do.
She probably hasn't
listened to me.
Check Casting United.
- Okay.
- That's it.
What's Casting United?
Basically, it's a
website where actors
can put themselves forward
for their own work.
Nothing gets checked though,
so there's no organization
as such checking everything.
You, me, anyone could
upload any sort of job,
and lure anyone in.
That's it.
Yeah, The Final Scream.
There's no information
on anything.
Check her email.
Okay.
No, I don't know the password.
Look, I'm sure there's
nothing to worry about, okay?
Let me get in the
office tomorrow morning
and I'll do some digging.
Hey.
It's gonna be fine, all right?
I'll do everything in my
power to get the info.
Don't worry.
Thank you.
So, it's a bit of
a surprise, isn't it?
I know, I can't
believe it. (CHUCKLES)
So where are the other
girls, are they on-location?
Yeah.
Well, sort of.
They auditioned, I
don't know, weeks ago,
and they're really
into their method.
Yeah, it's quite amazing.
You wanna see 'em, they're
like crying and shaking,
and it looks really truthful.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, it's good.
You're really beautiful.
You have lovely cheekbones.
- Aw, thank you.
- Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
In fact, you really
are quite beautiful.
KIA: Thanks.
Yeah.
Okay, well anyway, there's
your costume over there.
If you wanna go and put it on,
and I'll see you on location.
Well, it is a horror
film, remember.
Gina.
Gina!
Oh, where are you?
You've had the idea, you
know where they might be.
Make the decision to find
your friends in the warehouse.
And cut.
That's the one.
You think?
You were born for this role.
(KIA CHUCKLES)
Okay, on the next one...
(JEFF CHUCKLES)
I always thought that the
camera would be a bit bigger,
than like this.
What do you expect
for this kind of budget?
It's 4K, it's good enough
for the distributors.
JEFF: What's up next?
I think let's go for Kia
face to face with Gina.
So, the one where
Gina dies in my arms?
Oh, no no, no
no, it's a rewrite.
Let's crack on with the scene
where Kia finds the actresses.
You mean Melissa
finds her friends.
Exactly. (CHUCKLES)
She's on it, this
one, she's not slow.
Right, Kia, headphones
on and get prepping.
I want the first time you meet
the girls to be on camera.
Right, let's get going!
- Janice?
- Hey, Reese.
Look, I've had a deep
scout of this project,
and it doesn't even
seem to exist online.
Meaning, if it doesn't
exist, no info online,
then this could really
be just about anyone.
No one in the office knows
anyone attached to it and even
Casting United are clueless
as to who put the ad up.
REESE: So you're telling
me that some strangers
put this ad up to
lure young hopefuls
to audition in the
middle of nowhere?
JANICE: Yeah yeah, but
it's normal in this of work.
Christ, I send
some of my clients
to people's homes all the time,
but I obviously don't do it
by a bloody dodgy website.
Kia's first job
was from my site,
so I suppose she had a
reason to trust it and...
REESE: Kia's first
job, Kia's first job.
Hang on, hang on.
JANICE: Reese,
what's happening?
(DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
Yes!
Yes.
Thanks so much for
coming, Melissa.
I didn't know who else to call.
That's okay, let's
just get going, eh?
Yeah.
I've got the location
and the address.
Jeff, keep this one on Kia.
Won't be able to
get this shot again.
JEFF: Sure.
Tim, what do
you want me to do?
JEFF: It's an
intense closeup.
Okay, so, on action,
you're gonna walk around
the corner here and
discover the girls.
Melissa's about to discover
what she's gotten herself into.
Improvise lines as you're
going round, you know,
you don't know where you
are, things like that.
Okay, right, so,
it's all improvisation?
- Exactly.
- Still rolling.
Sound.
I am recording.
And when you're ready, Kia.
Action.
Hello?
Gina.
Gina?
Are you there?
(WOMEN SCREAM)
Gina?
(WOMEN SCREAM)
Gina, what's going on?
(WOMEN SCREAM)
What's going on,

JEFF: Turn your backside.
You have to get out!
You have to help us, please!
(WOMEN SCREAM AND SOB)
Jeff, I want
Melissa's reaction!
What's happening?
What's going on?
(WOMEN SCREAM)

There wasn't a gas station

TIM: I'm coming!
We need to get the
fuck out of here, now.
(HARLEY MUMBLES)
- We have to split up.
- No, we can't...
Shh, shh, shh.
She's right, okay?
It's gonna be the only way,
if we wanna get out of here.
No.
Shh, you want to get
out of here, right?
Jade, I'm sorry.
It's gonna be the only
way we can get out.
It's the only way.
Come on.
Let's go!

Okay.
(CHUCKLES)
(HARLEY SCREAMS)
Run, run, run, go, go, go!
Tim, the girls.
Get them.
TIM: Oh, they won't get far.
These woods are a maze.
Besides, we won't have a
film if we kill them all now.
JEFF: The reviews
will say it was typical.
They all got away.
TIM: They won't get away.
(HARLEY MOANS AND PANTS)
(OMINOUS TONES)
No. (SOBS)

here for the audition.
(HARLEY SOBS)

JADE: No.
No, come on!
Come on, the keys are in there,
come on, you're bleeding!
- Anything?
- No.
It's just voicemail again,
should I call the police?
No, let's not
jump to conclusions.
We're only about
20 minutes away.
(DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC)
Look familiar?
(DRILL BUZZES)
(HARLEY SOBS)
Think I wore it for the closeup.
Oh, how fucking original, Tim.
Ruth.
Why don't you go and
make yourself useful, mm?
Go back to the house,
and get cracking on
yesterday's footage.
I would like to see a
rough cut by this evening.
Who's gonna do the sound?
There's no sound in this shot.
Off you go.
We'll fix it in post!

How long did they have
you down there for?
Since last week.
I've been here
six days in total.
What did they do to you?
Okay.
Listen, we're gonna get
you out of here, okay?
We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?
Listen to me.
We're gonna get those psychos
put away for good, okay?
I wouldn't be so
sure about that.
No, it's gonna happen, okay?
Okay.
