DISSOLVE TO: 175 EXT - COTTAGE - NIGHT - WIDE ANGLE 175 It is later now. The house is in darkness. The jeep is no longer there. HOLD FOR A MOMENT, then start a VERY SLOW ZOOM IN. DISSOLVE TO: 176 INT - COTTAGE LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 176 The room is in darkness except for the glowing embers in the fireplace. CAMERA SLOWLY PANS THE ROOM, then starts to TRUCK DOWN THE HALLWAY. Through the open bedroom door at the end of the hall, Claire and Alex can be seen sleeping in their twin beds. CAMERA CONTINUES TO TRUCK, ENTERING THE ROOM. 177 EXT - COTTAGE BEDROOM - NIGHT 177 as the CAMERA TRUCKS IN ON the sleeping Alex, all of the SOUND SLOWLY DISAPPEARS until it seems as if the sound track itself has been removed. The feel- ing this creates is one of oppressive dead air. When we are on ALEX' EXTREME CLOSE-UP, HOLD as he begins to writhe and thrash about. All the following ACTION WILL BE IN SLOW MOTION. Finally, clutching his throat, his eyes open wide as he tries to scream. Although his mouth opens again and again, there is no sound. WIDE ANGLE - SLOW MOTION With Claire asleep in the F.G., and totally oblivious to what's happening, we watch Alex struggle with the invisible horror. Suddenly, the horror seems to take on a visible entity, as a whole mist-like vapor starts to envelope his body. Slowly Alex' movements begin to subside as the life is being drawn from him. CLAIRE - CLOSE-UP - SLOW MOTION Although still asleep, it seems as though she has suddenly become aware of the danger, As she opens her eyes and tries to sit up, she is barely able to move. Through a tremendous effort, she is finally 177 CONTD CONTD 177 able to turn her head to Alex. WIDEN at reveal Alex, now completely enveloped in the mist and barely moving. Claire tries to scream. No sound can be heard. She is finally able to reach the bed table between them and knocks over a glass. GLASS - CLOSE-UP - SLOW MOTION as it falls to the floor and shatters soundlessly. PAN UP in time to see Claire finally reach a lamp, turning it on. WIDE ANGLE - NORMAL SPEED as the lamp illuminates the room, ALL SOUND RETURNS. The white mist disappears and Claire is quickly at Alex' side. |
Alex opens his eyes, gulping in all the air he can handle, as he frantically gasps for breath. |
