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.
