Rough Draft Script #1

FADE IN:

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

CHRIS is on the phone to a friend in his room. He is lying on his bed while doing so.

CHRIS
Yeah George, you can come over later since I'm home alone. Yeah. Bring some over if you want, we just can't smoke any inside. 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 stretches his arms and then steps off his bed. He leaves the room, walks downstairs, and goes to the kitchen. He searches the fridge and cupboards, different angles show a man in the distance, inside the house. 

CHRIS puts a slice of bread in his mouth, and goes to turn out of the kitchen. Suddenly he stops, and goes to look at where the man was. Nobody is there. He turns and to see the man, brandishing a knife. CHRIS yells and runs away, heading up the stairs.

Running up the stairs, CHRIS stumbles slightly, allowing the intruder to grab his ankle. CHRIS kicks away at the mans arm and manages to break free. He sprints upstairs and slips into his dark room, then hides down the side of his bed. The intruder enters the room and is heard walking around, until the footsteps suddenly stop. CHRIS slowly rises, then sees the intruder sat in the centre of the bed. He goes to run, but the intruder pounces. 

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 then grabs the knife from besides him and stabs him in the chest. The man struggles, and CHRIS stabs him again a few times before the intruder collapses.

CHRIS stands, exhausted.

CHRIS

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

 CHRIS lets out a 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 to his chest, only for the screen to freeze before impact, and the credits to roll across the frozen image.
