Prey of the Night

Prey of the Night is a psychological horror movie. It is set to release and be shot in September 2020. This is the first ever movie to be a psychological; it describes of hallucinations and terror.

Storyline
''A young, Scottish woman takes refuge in an abandoned building after a hazardous thunderstorm wrecks her village. As she navigates around, she realises that her grief of her dead husband still hovers above her, but as a hallucination of a macabre demon...''

Plot
In 1865, Adair McIntyre shelters herself in an old, deserted castle-shaped building. She ignites a lantern and explores. Eventually wearing herself out, she heads to sleep in a classroom.

She wakes up at 3AM in the morning and hears someone else in the building. Realising she isn’t alone, Adair hides herself underneath a desk. The door opens to reveal a devil-like person stalking for Adair. He eventually leaves the room.

Knowing that she can’t stay for much longer, Adair attempts to escape from the door, but is chased by the demon who begins to slash her. Adair snatches the dagger and stabs the monster. His eyes begin crying blood. The demon explains that it is just a hallucination of her grief and that the only way to end the daze is to calm down and the monster will die.

Adair manages to relax which causes the demon the crumble an die. Before it dies, a hallucination of her father appears. She leaves the building shortly after.

Inspiration
The idea came from the 2014 supernatural horror movie The Babadook. Since this movie is psychological, the movie symbolises Adair’s grieving over her dead husband who died in the storm. Along with the demon, that also represents her mourning in a fearsome method.
