MY 3 THRILLER IDEAS!
1. My first thriller idea I entitled "Elevator" this idea is about a game that takes place in a hotel. The way it works is that the building must be completely empty and you must enter the elevator on the bottom floor, from there a series of floor numbers must be pushed in a specific order and you must travel from each floor to begin the game. The door will open at each floor you press, upon reaching the final floor in the sequence the doors are supposed to open and a mysterious woman dressed entirely in black is supposed to enter the elevator, you must not acknowledge that she is there meaning you cannot speak or look at her. You must then press another series of floors however the door will then only open occasionally and when it does you have the option to get out or to keep playing and risk it to win. If you do get out the lady will grab you and ask "where you are going", you must once again not acknowledge her, if you are successful you are a safe soul if not she will take you and you will be gone without a trace.
INSPIRATION: My inspiration for this idea follows a widely known unsolved murder that took place at the Cecil hotel in America. A student named Elisa Lam was seen getting in an elevator acting very bizarre she almost looked like she was hiding from an unseen force or in other conspiracy's she is thought to even be completely possessed. There was no explanation for her behaviour as the autopsy confirmed that there were no traces of drugs in her system, not even her prescribed medication. In the CCTV footage of the last time she was seen alive aside from her odd behaviour she is seen pressing buttons in the elevator in a very specific order and it is thought she was playing an old Japanese game that is meant to transport you to a parallel universe, however, the doors would not close and she eventually walked out of the elevator and then was never to be seen alive again.
2. My second idea I named "Russian Roulette" the idea of this plot of course involves the dated game of Russian roulette but in a modern twist. The story goes that a group of friends are at a party but they do not realise that the host has set them up for a most awful fate, a gun shot goes off and everybody in panic is forced to sit around a long table in a dark room with only a single light that dangles above them. The host forces them into a game of roulette which creates suspense and tension as the audience wonders who is next to die on the table. I also initially wanted to ass in some extra bits such as a refusal meaning somebody is then held under water or someone is stabbed in the leg just to keep the element of surprise alive.
INSPIRATION: My inspiration actually came from two very different movies. The first was V For Vendetta, not so much for the plot line but more for the concept of somebody thinking that tourturing people actually sets them free, this gave me the idea of a potentially psychopathic man wanting to help his friends but because he is insane not understanding the concept that is wrong with this idea. The other movie is called would you rather, this gave me inspiration behind the idea of a dangerous death game around the table with the most brutal concequences of refusal to co-operate. Both of these combined lead me to create the Russian roulette thriller i have in my head.
3. My final thriller I called "Hangman" the concept behind this plotline is that there is a group of friends in the woods exploring when they come across a hanging rope suspended from one of the branches, the boys begin to tease the girls by saying 'are you scared', one of the boys places the rope around his neck and jokes pretending he has been hung. One of the girls becomes paranoid imagining that she can hear footsteps and breaking sticks and the rustling of leaves that is distant but slowly approaching. The group dismisses what she is saying but they then however notice a dark shadow like figure in the near distance, panicked they all begin to run at a very fast pace. Upon reaching safety they stop deeply out of breath and notice one of the boys is missing, they begin to call his name but there is no response at which point it is revealed that he has in fact been hung by this terrifying figure leaving the audience in question as to what happened and who was he.
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this thriller idea once again came from a film that is called the gallows, of course the title gives it away there is hanging involved but the main inspiration came from the sense of being followed by a figure that you can never figure out but always gets you when you are not ready I find the idea of being hung particularly intriguing as its a form of punishment and torture since way back in time and for that concept to be brought to the present day is thrilling. Personally out of my 3 ideas this is my favourite and the one i would most love to use as my groups thriller idea because i think there is a lot of potential here.
