Page 1: Forbidden script

The cupboard is shown. The camera is slowly moving towards the cupboard, extremely slow; the zoom is long enough for the voice over.

DAHLIA (V.O)Have you ever played a game of Hide n Seek...

The zoom is continuous

Cont. DAHLIA (V.O)

...where you were hiding for so long thatyou thought they had forgotten all about you?...

The cupboard is continually growing larger, seeming more intimidating, dooming.

Cont. DAHLIA (V.O)Where you were scared that you would never be found.

Or maybe you were scared of being found.

There is a strike of a match, one of the girls illuminates the darkness, and their faces and upper bodies are the only things visible. The two

girls are clearly terrified, the younger looking one whispers out into the silence.

CYNTHIA (WHISPERING)Dahlia?

The older girl looks down at the Dahlia, terror in her eyes as she clasps onto her younger sister tighter

DAHLIAPlease be quiet Cynthia, I promise if you are silent then Mama wont

catch us.

CYNTHIA I don’t like this game anymore Dahlia, I want stop playing.

Suddenly both girls are silenced as the voice of their deranged mother is heard. Their terror is increased, eyes widen and the younger claps

her hands over her ears as the mother speaks.

MOTHERCome out come out wherever you are, little girls.

The footsteps of the mother are heard, loud, menacing. The girls squeeze their eyes tightly shut in fear.

DAHLIA – (WHSIPERING)Dont move Cynthia, it isn’t safe, Daddy can’t protect us from her

anymore.

The match wears out, the girls are plunged into darkness again. Their breathing is loud and irregular.

CYNTHIAI can hear her, she’s coming.

MOTHERGirls, girls, girls, what have I told you about coming into the Attic to

play, playtime is over.

There is a clear tapping on the cupboard door; the mother knows where the two girls are. She is teasing them, striking more fear into

them. Cruel. The mother begins to tut.

MotherAre you hiding in the cupboard, my little ones.

The girls breathing is still loud, they try and peak through the cupboard door. There is a sudden jump scare as the Mother’s eye is shown

through the crack. It creases into a smile. Wicked. Torturing. The eye is gone and there is clear sound of a lock turning. The girls are locked

into the cupboard.

MotherI have always told you, you are forbidden from coming up here. This is where Mummy keeps her dollies, this is where Mummy likes to play.

The outside of the cupboard is shown, the screaming and banging from the girls is loud and clear as the camera slowly begins to zoom out,

much like the beginning shot of the camera zooming into the cupboard. There is a dark swoosh past as the mother walks in front of

the camera, her face and clothes are not recognizable, just a dark shadow moving through. The camera continues to move out and the

terror of the girls increases. The shot either fades to darkness or suddenly cuts to the title of the movie FORBIDDEN.
