Horror Film Opening Pitch : Michael

My Pitch
Plot:
A group of teenagers get lost in a woods when they approach an old house, thinking that the house is abandoned they attempt to enter. On entry they encounter a man running down the stairs and out of a window on the other side of the house to them. Before proceeding to find out what the man was running from the jock goes forward first to check if the house was safe. Finding nothing the group go upstairs, finding a locked room which they soon discover what the man was running from.

Characters:
Stereotypical teenage group:
-        Jock
-        Princess
-        Geek
-        Weird one (basket case)
-        Criminal

Mysterious guy: much older-looking man from the teenagers.

Structure:
-        The teens see the house from a distance in the woods.
-        Approaching making jokes about the house, what’s possibly inside.
-        Getting up to the house, more cautious.
-        Entering the house, the man runs out, tone changes.
-        Jock goes ahead leaving the group near the door that they entered.
-        Jock comes back finding nothing.
-        The group go upstairs again, making jokes but all clearly nervous.
-        Geek notices locked door.

-        Criminal knocks door through and we see shock on all other character’s faces.
