Film Narrative:
In November 1996, Mary Wilson murdered her family in their
home. She killed her husband, son and eldest daughter, but the
only family member who was unharmed was her youngest, Ella Wilson. Mary was
arrested and sentenced into a psychiatric unit, because doctors assumed she was
schizophrenic. Ella was taken into the care of close family members, and
fifteen years later is where the new story begins. Ella got happily married,
and is now Ella Garcia. Ella married, William Garcia, and they had two children
Logan and Layla. Ella has been visiting her mother for a year, who has made a
significant recovery, which means that Mary can be released into her daughter's
care. Mary's physical and mental state, are still tainted from her past, she
may be recovered, but she is still not completely with us, mentally. Mary soon
settles into her new family home, and the first person who notices that she is
still not right is William. William then consults Ella about the strange things
he has seen, and they both begin to realise that maybe Mary was never mentally
ill. At a family dinner, Logan is sitting with Mary at the table, when she
stares at him her eyes go completely white, and later on Logan is being tucked
into bed, and demands that his Mum doesn't leave because he is scared of her
eyes. William and Ella begin to research other illnesses that could be wrong
with Mary, and begin to realise that it is not an illness, but she is
possessed. Ella tries not to let this bother her, and she does not want to
mention it to her children or her mother. As a result of this, Ella tells Logan
and Layla to go spend time with their Grandma, and this is what triggers Ella
to get help. During this time, Mary is playing with a jack in the box, singing
pop goes the weasel, and when Ella walks in the room, the jack in the box pops
out, and she screams "Your next". During the movie, Mary gets worse
and the demon within her begins to focus on the family members through physical
actions. The conclusion of the movie comes when the grandmother attacks the
family and gets pushed out of the second storey window. As the family rush out
of the house to see the body, they frantically call the police only to see that
the body has disappeared. The film ends with a cut to Logan's face and his eyes
are tinted white like the grandmothers had been.
Trailer Narrative:
The trailer begins with an establishing shot that tilts
upwards to a dominating view of a house with crime scene tape outside it. The
scene cuts to a news report of a reporter outside of the house detailing how a
mother tried to murder her entire family but was intervened before killing her
youngest daughter, Ella. The woman, in question is led out of the house and
into a police car and the camera follows the action as she drives away. The
trailer then cuts to television static to show the transition between the news
report and real life, and then 15 years later comes up. The daughter is being
led through a hospital ward to her mother's room whilst being told of her
mother's restored mental health. They look into the room as the doctor advises
that she stay in her daughters care to aid her transition from the asylum. Ella
takes her mother home to live with her and her family, and they are all in
severe trouble because of it. Events begin to replay themselves and the family
must fight to survive.
