Film treatment
Summary
Stranger is a horror film about an escaped prisoner slowly hunting down a
woman in her own home.
Full Storyline Part 1:
A news broadcast on a man’s escape from a prison covered in blood and
sweat. We cut to a woman named Alice picking up a clean shaven and
respectable man. He then turns to her and says that he will murder a group of
people and that only she can stop him. The man runs from her and proceeds
to apparently disappear from her sight. Later that day, Alice sees on the news
that a group of people have died with a note for her left on the dead bodies.
Horrified, she breaks down in tears until she gets a phone call.
Full storyline Part 2:
The phone call comes from the killer who states that he is coming for her
next, any attempts to escape or contact the police will result in the deaths of
more people and if she can live till sunrise then he will turn himself in. At
that moment the phone and all connections to the outside world go dead. The
man stalks Alice, breaks into her house and plays a game of cat and mouse in
her house. Eventually she whacks him with a rolling pin and proceeds to stab
her several times. She watches the sun rise before the killer grabs her throat
from off-screen and jabs a knife into her abdomen. The film ends in her
bloodcurdling scream.
