Group: Treatment

The zombie apocalypse isn't happening. It's already happened. And in this post-apocalyptic world of corpses and living-dead, four teenage girls are recording it on their video cameras.

The scene is set with a close up establishing shot of a dead child. We zoom out to see all the other bodies around her. We are outside in a driveway, the time is the late afternoon; it's getting dark and the sun is setting. Then our protagonists walk into shot. We have: Emma, Alexis, Sophie and Imogen, girls in their late teens. They look a bit ragged, in ripped clothes, smudged make-up, but surprisingly put together considering.

After looking around the area, and inspecting the corpses, they decide to enter the house. Inside, the place is trashed. Furniture is broken, glass is smashed, toys have their heads ripped off, and there are bloody hand prints on the wall. The girls explore the house; Imogen and Emma raid the cupboards, laughing and pretending to model the clothes, clearly unfazed by the grave situation they've found themselves in. Sophie, the most timid of the group, awkwardly looks around the house, while Alexis, the leader, is documenting their finds on her camera.

Slowly and quietly, we begin to hear a groaning noise in the background while Alexis is talking into her camera. She notices, opens the next door to reveal a zombie, and the chase starts. Alexis begins to run, shouting a warning to her friends. They all make their way out of the house and down into a graveyard, chased now by three zombies. They run from the graveyard through into the woods, but Sophie is struggling to keep up. She trips and falls to the floor, screaming. Her friends shout back to her, but it's too late. The zombies catch up to her, and start tearing at her stomach. Shot/reverse shot shows the girls' reactions as the zombies rip out Sophie's guts. Cut to extreme close up of Alexis' face, then cut to the title: "GUTTED"
