Planning- Film Synopsis

Knife Camera Action- Synopsis

Henry has moved into a new neighborhood.  His parents died in mysterious circumstances and he has now moved in with his Aunt.  The film is filmed mainly from his viewpoint and we soon see that he is obsessed with Slasher films.

Henry joins his new school and it becomes apparent that he is a lonely boy with few friends.  Soon Henry becomes obsessed with a group of teenagers.  He starts plotting their gruesome murders inspired by the films he loves so much.

Henry keeps his own private video recordings of these teenagers, capturing them during intimate moments and when they are most alone.  Henry kills the first promiscuous girl of the group and her body is soon discovered - she has been strangled and stabbed to death.  There is a chase scene in which the teenagers are being followed by Henry yet they do not know it is him.
The teenage group with some advisement from a high school teacher who is weary of Henry due to the gory essays he writes during his English Literature classes start to watch him back and eventually decide to break into his house.  Once inside the house the teenagers discover the Aunt presumably dead for moths and Henry's room where he has stuck up photos of the teenagers as well as vivid descriptions of how he plans to kill each member of the group (all inspired from classic Slasher films).

Henry comes into the house with a knife to find the teenagers in his room.  He ends up killing them one by one and filming it all on his camera like he had with the previous murder and chase scene.  It ends with the two boys dead and Charlie (the final girl) attempting to kill Henry but failing.  She escapes.

The film then cuts to a scene of the police searching Henry's house and finding him to have disappeared.  Searches of the whole town take place coming up unsuccessful.  Everyone assumes Henry has moved on.


The final scene takes place with Charlie alone in her house.  She gets off the phone with her mother saying she is fine and does not need counselling after the traumatic events.  We then have the shot taking place through the camera lens Henry uses.  He gets to Charlie, they have a brief struggle and the camera falls to the ground in which we have a shot of Charlie's footsteps running away and Henry's rapidly following her.  Film ends.
