Planning - Film Outline

The film starts with four teenagers being followed by a masked killer, although they are unaware of it. When Lily's brother is found dead a rumor starts around the town (loosely told by Craig in the opening sequence as a form of foreshadowing) about an insane man who killed his wife and was on the run from a town “not far from here.”

The killer stalks Lilly throughout the whole film and more people, all closely connected to Lilly, are stalked and killed. The rumours escalate and Lilly is named as a suspect; Craig asks Shaun to help him look after Lilly. Lilly begins to develop suspicions about Craig and whether he could be the killer. Scarlett is brutally murdered.

Shaun arranges with Lily and Shaun to meet him. However, Shaun is attacked by the Insane Man and left for dead. Lily finds him and accuses Craig of being the killer when he arrives; she runs. She is confronted by the Insane Man, who cryptically tells her that she can trust Craig, but not Shaun. She runs from him.

In a series flashback, we see the circumstances of the Insane Man's wife's death: his wife comes in to him, frightened because she thinks she’s being stalked. They have a couple rounds for dinner, and the Insane Man asks his friend to stay with his wife so that she is protected. The Insane Man then comes home one day to a scene scarily similar to the one Craig described in the beginning, with his friend standing over the body. This flash back is parallel to the events that have taken place between Lily, Shaun, Craig and Scarlett, with the exception of Scarlett's death and Lily not being dead yet.

After a close fight between Lilly and the Insane Man, Lilly is victorious and kills him. Shaun then appears and Lilly is relieved to see him; however, he kills then kills her; Craig then kills him, getting the justice that the killer deserved to get on his friend, but didn’t. Just like in the Insane Man's memory, only Craig is left, as a murder suspect. History has repeated itself.
