Location

Pitch

Sam races home to her apartment, her sister, Carrie, waits for her to come home. Out of breath Sam frantically locks the door and closes all of the blinds. They barricade themselves in hiding. All other communication is lost. They listen to a personal frequency on a radio and listen to a man describe what he’s seen “giant creatures snatching anything they can hear” (maybe not in so many words). The radio loses signal and the static becomes too loud. Carrie shouts for Sam, painful silence follows after the radio dies. The window shatters and they both scream.

Plot

- Shots of Sam up the stairs, natural light, kino for fill

- Carrie is folding laundry in the apartment watching TV

- Sam running down the hallway, hall lights

- The emergency broadcast comes on, STAY IN YOUR HOMES

- Sam collapses into the apartment, natural light, kino

- She hears the TV and turns it off, then shuts the blinds, dim natural light, hard light through false blinds, kino

- Stomping and running can be heard from other floors and rooms

- Short dialogue between sisters that they have to be quiet, lit by the harsh blinds shadows, a solid shadow passes by the window, a strange sound, Sam holds her finger to her lips

- Glass is heard shattering nearby, then silence

- Fade, time passes, the bedroom is barricaded, they have jugs of water and a small bedside lamp (practical) lit with hard key (maybe diff), kino for fill

- CU, Sam is trying to connect to the internet, Carrie has a phone, hears “We’re sorry, you have reached a number that is no longer available…” and then dead tones

- There is a loud screeching noise from outside, tires and a hawk overlapping

- Sam holds Carrie to comfort her, then stops, and enters the bathroom and looks into the closet (soft light from overhead bulb in bathroom)

- Door cracked open spills light onto Carrie as she waits for Sam in the bedroom, she wants to call to check on her, but is scared to speak

- Sam pulls out an old radio from the bathroom before Carrie can say anything

- They manage to get the radio working on an AM channel, static on everything else

- They think they hear a voice from the radio, then static

- They fall asleep listening, but a crackling voice from the radio wakes them up

- A man begins to talk aimlessly about survivors and asks for information in exchange for communication

- The man…
