Idea For Horror Movie

[ShadowX81]

Jacob Silas was an outcast. He was the kid everyone made fun of. One day when he was 10 he snapped and the day before christmas break padlocked all the doors of the school. Then using an automatic weapon he found at his uncle's house and a bunch of ammo and preplanted home made exposives, managed to down over 300 kids before the police stopped him. All while wearing a frosty mask. In the end he detonated one of his explosives right near him when the police were about to get him. But it didnt kill him. it put him into a coma. A coma that kept him out fore 9 years. But last year he woke up. He hasnt shown any remorse for his crime or has never said a word since. It is the month of december and strange things have started happening. People that have made jokes or comments about him have been having accidents. They suspect its him,but have no proof until one night they catch him standing over the body of a strangled nurse who refused give him his food cause she didnt like him. the court has decided that the next week he will be executed. Tyhe night before the execution, december 24 jacob has decided he has been here long enough. After breaking out of his cell and killing the guards watching him he is on a quest to make it out of the hospitol. The hospitol is on a baren stretch of road seperated from the world by a heavy snowstorm outside. The police cant come. So it is up to the few people inside to stop him before he gets away.
What do you think?

Pretty freaky. I like the fact that there's isolation from the rest of the world.

I like it. We need more Winter horror movies. To go right up against the rack with Silent Night Deadly Night and The Shining. Sounds fantastic. Is it just an idea, or are you planing on writing a full story or script for it?

Sounds like a good story. Although the school shooting stuff is troubling in my opinion. Less horror and more tragic. I think if it were to ever be made people would have problem with that part of the movie. Especially those who have been through something like that. But interesting plot nevertheless.

[torturedsoul]

i agree it has some potential but a 10 year old wiping out a whole school and coming up with such a complete plan is a little far fetched. plus the whole columbine thing will have every producer balking from making it. but kudos on the x-mas horror threat. maybe make the kid older when he snaps? like high school years? and maybe not have him in a mental hospital awaking from a coma. it sounds too close to michael myers "Waking up" after 15 years to go after laurie. but the essence of the story has potential.

I agree. Plus, the whole "school shooting" concept doesn't gel with the rest of the story -- it's like going from an episode of NYPD Blue to a slasher flick.

I agree though, the story does have potential.

Well its a pity that we're still in the shadow of the incident at Columnbine. It was a terrible thing, but now we'll never be able to get a movie that involved with school shootings much praise. Even though there have been tv shows and tv movies dealing with the subject, its seems it'll be another 5-10 years before its safe again. In other news, i agree with torturedsoul about making the kid a bit older. Around 15 is good . But the rest is great.

[LP~MyersFan~25]

I agree, it's pretty good though. Good job.

[BloodIntoIce]

how bout the shootin in russia that jus happened where hundreds of people died after gettin locked in the skool and shot to death, doesnt seem like a good subject for a movie, call me crazy.

Im actually starting to write it. if its good iv already thought up of an idea for the sequal.

[ShadowX81]

Thx for all the kind comments.
My perception of this kid is that he is a kid who has been picked on so much he has been pushed to the edge. he wants to send fear into the hearts of all that have done him wrong. The school shooting is a way for him to do that. I had an idea for a franchise. This kid wants to kill all the people that went with him to high school. Since I need to remove a substansial proportion of those kids at first, since a kid can't take down that many people with a knife I figured a school schooting with guns and explosives was the best and easieist way to do that.
Iv also decided to change the kids age to 15 and have him be in a coma for 4 years.

[torturedsoul]

glad i could help. darn those high school kids! if he tries to kill all those who went to his school he'd be on the rampage forever hunting down hundreds of people. are you trying to make this into 12 movies? heh

This is just an idea to make your story/stories easier to write, but why not just slim it down to a certain group(s) of kids who bully him? There are an average of a couple thousand kids in a high school, and a few hundred per class. Taking 300 kids out of your story, most of whom probably never talked to him in the first place, wouldn't put much of a dent in his hit list. Not to mention the fact that 300 kids would be almost impossible to take out at one time. There were two main shooters at Columbine who were also armed with explosives, and they only took out a handfull of people. A bomb that kills 300 people is like, Iraqi car bomb magnitude. :rolleyes:

Again, just a suggestion.:rolleyes:

Well since he locked all the doors it was easier for him to get alot of people. Get a bunch of people crowded in a small area near the door and youd be suprised what a couple of bombs can do. That plus the fact hes got an automatic weapon. he lives in a small town so the number of people in his school are 500. Trust me. While this first film will deal with only his escape from the mental institution, the next film will be him going after his old classmates. By the first quarter of the 2nd movie it will have been narrowed down to 24 people. these 24 will be the ones that picked on him the most. And dont worry the whole plot isnt just him going around slaughtering people. Well just read it when its done and youl see. Hope to have a first draft of the sceenplay done by christmas.

[torturedsoul]

try this out if your hell-bent on him killing a few hundred people at one time. have him kill a lot of his fellow classmates at a school function inside the gymnasium or the theater hall. someplace a couple hundred people can gather together. THEN he locks those doors and blows them up. also have him kill his high school guidance counselor for telling him "not to worry about the other classmates picking on you." something coldblooded would be sweet to see. but i do agree trimming it down to say a dozen or so survivors who really picked on him and now he's after them when he wakes up from his coma. again....just a suggestion to being in some realism to your idea. hope it helps.

You pretty much listed everything I was gonna do. basicly in the beggining of the second movie he crashes his high school reunion. However the 200 people left he doesnt blow up. Youl see.

heres a couple drawings of him i did. One is of him at 15 with the frsty mask on. the other one is him as hes gonna appear for the most part of the first movie. I put him in doctor clothing since thats pretty much the only kind of clothing he could steal in a hospitol. I am by no means an artist. And I did these pics in like 20 mins rushing. But I just thought it would be cool to post them.

[ShadowX81]

Hrees the other one.

[torturedsoul]

ok cool. so we're going with 2 movies at least?

[ShadowX81]

Actually iv planned 3. I know how its gonna end. But for now im just gonna concentrate on the first one.

[torturedsoul]

good idea. don't get ahead of yourself. well best of luck to ya. if u want more feedback from us just drop a line.

[blicdh]

Sounds like an excellent story. Can't wait to read the script.:)

[ShadowX81]

Update: I was working on the script a bit today and the title just came to me

" It Came Apon A Midnight Clear"

Its creepy and it incoperates the Christmas theme. What do you guys think?

[scarred4life]

Man thats pretty good.
