Final Idea

The story is about a girl who's 16-18 years old. The film introduction starts off by showing this girl living in complete solitude in a deserted bunker/ dark room/ shed and hiding from the police. (I know it was a man before, but I couldn't think of anywhere to go with that. I have a new idea now.) The audience don't know yet why she is hiding from the police but this is revealed later in the film and she looks completely terrified. By the end of the introduction when the credits have finished the girl is running from this place where she's been hiding; she collapses from exhaustion and the scene blacks out. 

The film is basically about this girl and her fresh start, she has a new life but there's these old memories that she can't get away from. It turns out that she was abused by her dad from a young age, and ends up stabbing him with a knife in the kitchen. It's a really gory disgusting traumatizing death and the image of it flashes up sometimes in the film but not enough of it for the audience to know what happened. She has dreams every night that her dad is going to come after her, even though he's dead. The whole story isn't revealed until the end. 

Throughout the film she keeps imagining her dad being there and tormenting her, even though he's dead. Later on in the film she meets some new people, meets a man & falls in love etc but she can't tell him why she has nightmares every night. At the end of the film her dad appears - she's convinced that he's there and alive.
