Draft Script #2

FADE IN:

INT. BEDROOM - DAY

CHRIS is on the phone to a friend in his room. He is lying on his bed while doing so. He has a confident yet relaxed tone in his voice, and is resting one hand behind his head.

CHRIS

George, yeah, you can come over later since I'm home alone. Yeah. Bring some over if you want, we just can't smoke any inside.

CHRIS pauses to listen to his phone for a little while, taking in whatever the person on the other side of the call is saying. 

CHRIS

(Sarcastically)

Yeah, the smell is too noticeable. Alright I gotta go get a bite to eat, see ya later, bye.

CHRIS hangs up the phone and throws it to the side on his bed. He sits up and lets out a sigh, then stretches both of his arms out with a yawn.  He slowly rises to his feet and then steps out of his bedroom, leaving the door open. He crosses his landing, and walks downstairs. 

INT. DOWNSTAIRS - DAY

Downstairs, CHRIS walks down his hall and enters the kitchen, a bored expression on his face. He opens the fridge, then shuts it angrily. He opens a few cupboards, but has the same reaction. 

CHRIS turns and leaves the kitchen. When he turns, THE INTRUDER is revealed to the audience, and he is hiding behind the kitchen door with a knife in his hand. 

CHRIS then turns around and walks out. He walks down the hall and to the bottom of the stairs, opposite the front door, before a slight bang is heard.

CHRIS spins around to see THE INTRUDER stood in his kitchen and holding a knife.

CHRIS backs away in shock and ends up backed into a wall. THE INTRUDER slowly walks towards CHRIS, who slides down the wall to be sat on the floor.

When THE INTRUDER is close, CHRIS darts for the stairs and avoids a grab from THE INTRUDER. CHRIS dashes up the stairs, but THE INTRUDER grabs his ankle. CHRIS quickly shakes his foot off and runs up the stairs and off-screen.

THE INTRUDER slowly walks up the stairs, then makes his way to the landing. He walks straight to the bedroom door and kicks it open.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

THE INTRUDER immediately sees CHRIS hiding down the side of the bed. CHRIS stands and goes to run at the door, but is tackled to the floor by THE INTRUDER.

The pair wrestle until THE INTRUDER pulls out the knife, but CHRIS knocks it out of his hand and onto the floor besides them. 

THE INTRUDER instead puts his hands around the neck of CHRIS and starts to strangle him. CHRIS gags and struggles, but then grabs the knife from besides them.

CHRIS stabs THE INTRUDER in the hand, making him let go of his throat. CHRIS pounces on THE INTRUDER and pins him to the floor, then stabs him in the stomach and falls down onto his back.

CHRIS stands, exhausted. Breathing rapidly, he lets out a sigh of relief.

CHRIS

(Tiredly)

I guess I'm not as alone as I thought...

 CHRIS lets out another defeated sigh, then turns and goes to leave the room. A noise is heard behind him.

CHRIS spins around, but the body of THE INTRUDER is gone.

CHRIS goes to run, only to be grabbed from behind by around the neck.

CHRIS is pulled back and has the knife swung down right into his chest by THE INTRUDER.

On impact, the screen darts to black, and a scream is heard. The credits then roll up the screen.
