Characters and casting ideas for our Horror film

By Jessica, Lucy And saffron

The Antagonist/ Villain

In our opening scene the antagonist will be played by Jack Zaborni. He plays an evil step-dad called Martin who abuses his two step daughters. He seems to be a normal man in his 30’s which tricks the mum into thinking he is nice, it’s a easy way for him to hide his evil identity as it comes as a shock to the mother when he kills her children.

If we were actually going to produce a real funded film we would hire Patrick Wilson. He plays the dad role in Insidious and he would be a good actor to play the part.

The Protagonist/ victimThe protagonist in our film will be played by Eleanor Harper. She plays a mother in our film who's new husband has just moved in to the family home. The mother is unaware of the step-dads action towards her two daughters. This leads her waking up in the night screaming, wondering if it was a dream or reality. However later it all becomes real. Leaving herself haunted by her two children; eventually killing herself.

If the film was to be produced, we would hire Vera Farmiga to play the victim mum. She plays the mum in Orphan (2009), like in our film, playing the part of a protagonist.

The Children The two children in our film will be played by Saffron Smith and Lucy Harper. These characters are both killed by their step dad whilst their mother is out. However when the mothers dream comes a reality, the spirits of the children come back to haunt her.

The two children in our film if it was to be produced, would be played by Chloe Moretz who plays carrie in the film carrie and Elle Fanning who is in the film Maleficent. They both fit the age of the characters we were aiming for in our film.Chloe
