Treatment 3 - Robyn

Treatment 3 - Robyn: 

It’s winter break 2014, school has finished, and a group of four girl friends decide to take a group outing to a destination that none of them have been to, apart from friend 1 (Amy), who suggested this location.

It’s the following morning girls are leaving the house. All excited for their trip they are happy, laughing and listening to music. As they start to drive away.

On the journey there, Friend 2 mentions the time their group used to pick on Amy in their younger years. Joking around with the other two friends, the girls take the jokes a step too far again, leaving Amy rather upset. Clearly unhappy and hurt, Amy claims she needs to stop at a service station. Enraged by the words of her friends, Amy glimpses over at a hammer that catches her eye in the station.

A shot of Amy is shown, walking slowly over to the hammer. This is followed by a shot of Amy staring expressionless at the tool.

A Shot of Amy is shown, getting back into the car clutching her backpack seeming quite withdrawn. Her friends apologize to her on return, which Amy doesn’t seem to register and remains quiet for the rest of the journey.

Friends arrive at their destination in the evening. It’s almost night and the sky is dark. As friends are moving their luggage, one friend moves Amy’s backpack out of the car and is surprised when a hammer falls out. Confused as to why Amy would bring a hammer to an outing, she confronts Amy and calls the other two girls over, yet again, they all start to innocently mock Amy, calling her crazy. Instead of running off upset again, Amy stands still, staring back with a crazed, blank face and calmly walks away.

Later on that night the friends take part in activities such as drinking and smoking. Seeming rather aloof and in her own thoughts still, Amy doesn’t appear to want to participate with these activities. This bothers Friend 2 and starts to bicker with Amy over how she’s so boring, and how her coming along was a waste of time.

Leading to a full-blown argument, Amy finally snaps. Tired of friend 2 constant remarks, she marches off fuming. Friend 2 reassures the others that she’ll “get scared, and be back in no time”.

Time passes, as Amy still hasn’t returned; however the girls are led to believe someone is watching. The scene cuts to the girls crying running and screaming covered in blood as the final shot is shown of a hammer drawing back.
